Just moments (well, days actually) after the release of Street Fighter Anniversary for the Xbox, Ignition Entertainment has issued an official PAL release date for its own 2D beat ‘em up contender: SVC Chaos SNK versus Capcom. That will be January 5th, when it will retail for the more than acceptable price of £19.99, both for PS2 and Xbox.
For owners of both consoles, the decision will be a straight forward one. The Xbox version will have the clear advantage: with full Live compatible online battling, and also a customisable fighter option.
The 2D beat ‘em up genre is about to enjoy a minor resurgence, with Guilty Gear and King of Fighters games also joining the roster. We’ll bring you a full round-up in the next few days.
