"Overall, SNK Gals&s; Fighters is a fun retro portable fighting game that&s;s a bit too basic to thoroughly enjoy in this day and age."

"Few retro handheld fighting games hold up today, but SNK had already done a good job getting the gameplay of The King of Fighters functioning well on the Neo Geo Pocket Color, and SNK Gals&s; Fighters still proves fun for …"

"SNK Gals&s; Fighters is a reminder of why fighting games didn&s;t really work on portable consoles back in the day. While the additions to this port are nice and the game looks good, the game itself feels unresponsive and the …"

"SNK Gal’s Fighters on the Switch isn’t the most ambitious port out there, but that’s okay. Two decades since its original release, it’s just as addicting as it ever was. If you’re looking for a lighthearted retro fighter to add …"

"Originally a 2000 Neo Geo Pocket Color release, SNK Gals&s; Fighters makes its reappearance on the Nintendo Switch. Despite its low price, there&s;s a lot more effort than you might expect to make this celebratory release feel cared for."
