Pocket Fighter (ポケットファイター) is a versus fighting game by Capcom, released for the Sega Saturn in 1998. In the West, it was released as Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix, but the Saturn version was only released in Japan.

As with Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, it uses "super deformed" character designs, with characters chiefly hailing from the Street Fighter and Darkstalkers franchises. It also features many character cameos from various Capcom games in the backgrounds of the stages and in the transformations that the playable characters make.

Gameplay

Pocket Fighter only uses four buttons (versus Street Fighter II and its derivatives, which use six) and thus features a reduced moveset, with easier to master special moves.
