Dustin Thomas of the Scholarly Gamers reflects on Ed Boon's studio, NetherRealm, which has many quality titles, but his/their work in Konquest mode shines brighter than many other full releases.

Very interesting article about a game mode I never really new was expanded upon in Deception. My only gripe is claiming that Deadly Alliance was the first fully 3D Mortal Kombat. Come on man Mortal Kombat 4 was totally 3D!! Lol, I guess it depends on what your definition of "fully" is.

Depends on how you look at it. MK4 had a sidestep, but Deadly Alliance had full 3D movement. Both are "fully" 3D, though. I think he just worded it funny.

I never hated Stryker, he had his uses so the claim "everyone hates Stryker" is kinda false. I loved the mode as well and spent plenty of time with it back in college. I do agree that my love of fighting games has diminished because of the online focus. Nothing was better than spending a night with your brother or friend playing or waiting in line and putting your quarter on the screen to signer you got next at the arcade(when you get older it's not so easy as it used to be to have people over to game ha ha)

krypt19832559d ago (Edited 2559d ago )

putting your quarter in the cabinet by the screen will go down as a legend in arcade fighting games, i am in the same boat i cannot get into fighting games on console miss the good ole days

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX1d 3h ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H91d 1h ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro22h ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos2h ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos1d 4h ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

So it looks like they have abandoned unreal for future iterations of the game and are sticking with ego. So that means no decent VR support on PC and none on console seeing as the ego can't handle it properly. I think I'm done with this franchise it's turned into fifa with a hefty price tag and no innovation from one year to the next. Time for someone else to have a go at this licence
