Great Fighting Game for a beginner
SNK HEROINES, Tag Team Frenzy, on Nintendo Switch is one of the best fighting games I have ever played in a while. The last game being Smash Bros. on the Wii U. The game is a 2D fighter which has an interesting combat mechanic where you must finish your opponent with a special attack, this keeps the game unique compared to the other fighting game. This will ensure every battle will end with a flashy ending. The single player experience is the best way to learn and perfect any combos in the game. It tells a story which is straight to the point, knowing that it is a fighting game, it is there just for a reason to exist. It does not dwell to much on the story because it is a fighting game, sorry Smash Bros. fans, I don't think MatPat is going to do a review on this one's lore. However, despite the lack luster story it does show the small personality of each character. The fighting in the game has some depth, but it does not overwhelm new players. You are allowed to pick two characters and then duke it out with another player or CPU. The simple controls makes it a great fighting game to introduce to new players. I was a semi-pro fighting gamer before, playing Smash Bros. Brawl in my youth. So I do know a thing or two about fighting games. I showed my friends this game and the simple fighting concept lets all of us have fun because everyone understood the basic concepts easily. Now, this does not make it a bad game because it is simple, it is just more accessible to more people. The graphics is also another point I want to highlight, because they have interesting features to grab a player attention. Now, some people might just buy the game for the graphics alone, but I have bought it for the graphics and the combat. The visual is bright and colorful, it telegraphs the attack and moves flawlessly. The outrageous costumes are just to attract players, but to give it charm in the fighting game community. I can't wait to see this game rise up to EVO levels one day.

Fun game
As a Switch owner and a fan of SNK fighters (though personally not the best at them) I decided I would give this game a try. It is a little different to have an all female cast of characters, but they span the ranks of SNK fighters and play well. There will be some future DLC characters for the game presumably as paid DLC which is nice. The biggest draw of the game seems to be toward dressing your characters in as much or little clothing as you would like as the main reward is currency to unlock new clothing. As far as play control the game plays well but more like current fighters such as King of Fighters XIV. This isn't a bad thing in my opinion as I fall more in the casual group, but hard core fighting fans may not enjoy the slowed down game play. All around it's a pretty solid game but I can only really recommend it to fans of the series as there are so many other great fighters on the Switch.

Fun fighting game
This game has fun characters to play as and there's a bunch of stuff to unlock. The fighting controls are nice and it's definitely a unique fighter. There's dlc characters coming out later to add to it also.

Simple Yet Good Fighter With Good Fan Service
SNK Heroines is easier to play for new comers then most other SNK fighters. Some people may see this as a bad thing, others may see this as a good thing. I'm an experienced fighting game fan but still really had a blast with this one. It has good graphics, a good art style, great gameplay, and a solid roster. I highly recommend it to both experienced fighting game fans and new comers to the genre.

Waifu battle!
Very fun and simple game. Not a ton of content, but well worth picking up if there is a sale on the game.
