 SNK
SNK is a Japan ese video game company.
SNK stands for "Shin Nihon Kikaku," translated to "New Japan Project." It was started in late 1970s and lasted until its collapse in 2000 due to under-finance.
SNK has been behind the following games (many of which are Beat 'em up s), among others:

 SNK vs. series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There were two versions of this game: SNK and Capcom, indicating the game with the higher amount of characters from that company.
This was an electronic trading card game on the Neo Geo Pocket Color in which cards represented the various Capcom and SNK characters.
This was an electronic trading card game that expanded upon the first to include characters from Capcom vs. SNK 2.

 Gamebits: Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO
SNK produced popular series such as King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown; and Capcom, of course, created one of the most influential fighting games of all time: Street Fighter II.
So it should come as no surprise that Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO, a joint effort between the two companies, is one of the best 2D fighting games out at the moment.
Between the huge roster of characters, the six grooves, different difficulty levels, and an adjustable speed option (at maximum speed, fights are quick, to say the least), the game can be played hundreds of times and remain fresh.

 Capcom vs SNK Review for Dreamcast - Gaming Age
While SNK had control over the brilliant pocket version of the game, Capcom took the reigns to create the arcade/home title; and it shows.
The only way to describe the gameplay in Capcom vs. SNK is a mixed bag.
For Capcom players you can just pick up the controller and feel right at home while SNK players will have to get used to the modified Street Fighter Alpha engine along with the new commands for characters whose move lists had never changed before now.

 The Armchair Empire - Dreamcast Reviews: Capcom vs SNK: Millenium Fight
For SNK fans out there that gaff at such a thing the special moves of the SNK characters have remained intact in how they are triggered.
While Capcom vs SNK is a 2D game there have been some pretty 3D effects thrown into the mix to spice things up some, with dazzling energy attacks.
Players have the option of either going with the Capcom or the SNK groove while playing.

 Goodbye, SNK
SNK, the creator and publisher of games recognizable to everyone who's ever played games more than casually, has closed its doors.
SNK made it very easy, and attracted player loyalty with large stickers and marquees proclaiming NEO GEO first, and the game title second.
Considered by some their swan song, SNK pulled out all the stops and produced a game with mass appeal.

 Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 - Reader Review - GameFAQs
Not to say I don't like SNK, I just haven't played as many of their games, nor have I played them as much as I have played Capcom fighters.
If you're used to SNK style fighting game stories, you're going to be a little disappointed.
I couldn't tell you whether this plays more like a Capcom game or an SNK game, because to me, it's different from both, it has a lighter feel to it.

 Planet GameCube News Article: SNK says Goodbye
SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millenium and SvC: Card Fighters Clash still stand as two of the greatest handheld titles I have ever played (and still play for that matter).
There are two games on PGC’s game list that involve SNK.
Since all Neo Geo games could readily be found and played on Neo Geo arcade machines too, I played a LOT of SNK over the years.

 GamerFeed : Previews : Microsoft : SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom
SNK excelled with their King of Fighters series, while Capcom continued to pump out Street Fighter titles and soon delved into Darkstalkers and several Marvel-licensed games.
At one time, Capcom and SNK had quite a rivalry on their hands, as they both worked incredibly hard to produce some of the world's best fighting games.
The game features a bevy of SNK and Capcom stars, duking it out in only the best style that the folks at Playmore can muster.

 SNK in the United States Part 1
Anyone can see that the style in SNK’s games has always reflected Japanese culture, but even beyond the games, the business relations between SNK of Japan and SNK of America were very poor.
Initially, SNK claimed that the black and white system would play all color titles (in shades of black and white), but recent color games such as SNK vs. Capcom: Match Of The Millennium do not play on the black and white system at all.
This system played CD versions of mostly the same games as the home and MVS platforms, although there are certain games that have only been released for one or two of the systems.

 Samurai Shodown Forever Message Board - About SNK
Capcom's spiffy, but it wouldn't be the same if they made SNK games...
SNK was established in 1978 as Shin Nihon Kikaku, and changed its name to SNK
I guess having a good competitive company like Capcom around, probably did have an effect to the SNK games...but too bad SNK won't be around kicking anymore, so I guess Capcom is probably the only good 2d fighting games company left...

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on SNK Neo-Geo at Epinions.com
The theory was for SNK was simple: Go big or go home!
While the world was going crazy for games like Street Fighter II, Virtua Fighter, Mortal Kombat II during the early 90's, SNK would come out with a very special fighter of their own.
Although this isn't a huge improvement over the last game, WH2 still packs a solid punch thanks to some interesting guys like a Football player, a man with unusual mask, and girl who is good with throws.

 Vidgame.net: SNK Neo Geo Home
SNK has usually chosen 2D fighting games over 3D and some people may claim this ruined SNK.
As it stands, SNK is not having a good time in Japan either.
All I have to stay is, stick to your roots and don't go in the popular direction.

 Capcom vs. SNK 2 Screenshots - Game Revolution
SNK Groove 2 - In this groove, players can use the Level 1 super combo in normal circumstances.
Capcom vs. SNK 2 features more than 10 new characters and six different fighting grooves each based on either Capcom or SNK's fighting styles.
The advantage of this groove is the fact that players can use both 'Short Jump' and 'Parrying' to secure victory.

 The History of SNK
These games and their sequels, along with the NeoGeo, have made SNK an innovator in the world of video games and have pushed those other companies--primarily Capcom and Nintendo--to improve and develop their products at a much faster pace and at a much higher level of quality than they would without SNK in the picture.
The average game player might recognize King of Fighters or Metal Slug or have a vague recollection of the big-budget NeoGeo console, but he or she probably doesn't associate them with SNK.
When you speak of companies such as Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft, SquareSoft, Capcom, and Konami, chances are good that the average game player can tell you what games the company makes and what that company's significant contributions are to the world of video games in general.

 Capcom® vs. SNK: Pro Review on PlayStation
Those are only four of the 10+ fighters that SNK contributed to this game.
They may not be starring in their own game anymore (though I'm sure they will at some point in the near future), but Capcom Vs. SNK Pro was developed by the same people who made the other games.
If you already have Capcom Vs. SNK 2, this version isn't a necessity, but it is a blast, and the gameplay variations are fun to mess around with.

 Game Revolution Playstation 2 Review Page - Game Revolution
The most annoying thing about the original Capcom vs. SNK was the fact that certain players had certain point values assigned to them, making for some uneven matches.
Capcom vs. SNK 2 uses 2.5D backgrounds in the same vein as Marvel vs. Capcom 2, but with games like DoA3 lurking around, such quasi-3D backgrounds just don't cut it anymore.
The FX themselves are the same as always, but the better tunes and psychotic hype-guy make this one of more aurally impressive Capcom games to date.

 Amazon.com: Computer & Video Games: SNK vs Capcom - Match of the Milllenium
Other good games for the NGPC are Snk VS Capcom Card Fighters Capcom and Snk Version, and both metal slugs.
Among the 20+ characters there are many modes, the "tourney", basically a story mode, you can either fight one on one, two on two, or 3 on 3, which allows you to use your favorite characters at once, and jolts replayability into the game.
In case you were sleeping through the last decade or so SNK and Capcom basically rule the fighting game scene, between the two of them they are responsible for Street Fighter, DarkStalkers, King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Final Fight, and more.

1979-81- SNK releases its first games: Ozma Wars (1979), Safari Rally (1980), and Vanguard (1981).
1978 - SNK Electronics Corp. is founded as the Shin Nihon Kikaku ("New Japanese Project") Corporation by Eikichi Kawasaki in Osaka, Japan.
While King of Fighters was known as a "Street Fighter beater," the series had many unique elements that included being able to select a team of three characters instead of the usual one.

And there have never been better times fans of the Japanese mega-hardcore game company, with continued releases of popular franchises on the horizon along with more mainstream-centric 3D renditions of games like King of Fighters and, it is hinted below, Metal Slug, among others.
This game is released for the arcade at the end of the year, on Atomiswave, and it's kind of a new concept 2D fighting game, and includes characters from King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, World Heroes and Metal Slug.
