"With the exception of a several features, the Vita version of Mortal Kombat is a full port of the original at 60 frames per second. All of the characters, including the DLC characters, as well as bonus retro costumes for the majority of the characters (not just the "ninja" characters) are available and unlocked at the very start of the game. While there's no option for three- or four-player tag team matches, the standard two-player tag team modes remain, as well as online ranked matches."

Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.
The fighting genre is full of mini-games, from Street Fighter's car destruction to Tekken Ball. Here's the best Mortal Kombat mini games.
Cultured Vultures: We've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games across the series' history. Special Forces is clearly number one.
My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.
That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories
MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.
I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
Get this over here right now
The game looks great but some people are bashing it because of two reasons.
1. The game doesn't look as good as the PS3 version.
2. The game isn't on the 3DS.
Seems like pretty poor reasons because
1. It's a portable
2. Not a big deal if it isn't on the 3DS because there are plenty of other fighters to play on Nintendo's handheld.

screen mashing much?
