Card Fighters clash with DS

SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS will be released this spring, according to Ignition and Atari.

The card battling game - a descendant of the excellent Neo Geo Pocket series - was originally announced at E3 last year, but nobody's made much noise about it in the interim.

At the time we were told to expect five-deck management, with over 300 cards to accumulate, a single-player "Card Tower" to scale and a two-player link mode.

There's also a "Recycle machine" for making the most out of duplicate cards, and shops for buying new ones.

Check out some screenshots elsewhere on the site. Retailers suggest that the US release will take place as early as next month, so watch out for a review sooner rather than later.
