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
Looks sick wouldn't mind a Trilogy such as this.
Projects like this should be picked up by the game's company and hire the people working on it, like SEGA has been doing lately. When you can do work potentially better than the actual company, that deserves some rewards.
Last time there was a Trilogy release, it was on the N64, so it's been a long time coming. Over 22 years I think.
Didnt this aready get a cease and desist ages ago?
That’s a bummer and a blessing. It shows the difference between game developers and game publishers though. Boon loved it gave the thumbs up to Warner Bros, WB got the corporate risk jitters and squashed it. Now they can start working on a new IP which can get possible WB backing. WB just said couldn’t put the MK franchise in the hands of an unproven team. They didn’t say that the project was trash.
What a sad ending to this story.
And for Ed Boon to play it and like it and then WB to appear to greenlight it only for them to pull out the rug a week later!???
Hurts...
Because I would buy a MK and MK2 HD Remix in a heartbeat.
