Whenever the initial "SNK" springs up, one of two things comes to mind - the Japanese name for the mega-popular manga/anime Attack on Titan (Shingeki No Kyojin) or the equally world-renowned Japanese game publisher/developer that had a major foothold during the 90s arcade boom. In the case of this next list catered to fighting game fans, we're going to throw a bone to the latter. SNK's history is spread out across its unforgettable efforts in the form of amazing shoot 'em up, action, sports, and fighting games. The most revered SNK fighters that gave rise to iconic franchises include Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, and Samurai Shodown. During the days of the Neo Geo system that existed in both arcades and at home (if you were rich enough to afford it back in the day!), gamers came to love SNK's approach to making quality fighting games. Even to this day, the company has a hand in making brand-new entries in its most celebrated brawlers. We're here to honor the publisher/developer's grand history by shouting out the 20 best SNK fighting games of all time.
