Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix, released in Japan as Pocket Fighter (Japanese: ポケットファイター), is a fighting video game released by Capcom in 1997 for the CPS II arcade system. It was ported to the PlayStation, which retained the Pocket Fighter title for its North American and European releases, then the Sega Saturn and WonderSwan (in Japan only), as well as the PlayStation 2 as part of the Street Fighter Alpha-themed compilation title Street Fighter Alpha Anthology.
The game uses the same super deformed character designs previously used in Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, a puzzle game by Capcom.[2] The return of most of the "puzzle fighters" on the roster includes characters from Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, Ibuki from Street Fighter III, and Tessa from Red Earth. It also features many character cameos from various Capcom games scattered in the background of the stages.[3][4] Two mobile-only spin-offs based on this game, Solitier Fighter[5] and Poker Fighter[6] were released for cellphones in 2003 in Japan only. Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix was ported as a part of Capcom Fighting Collection on June 24, 2022 to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.[7]
