"Wonder Woman is a playable character in the 1995 game Justice League: Task Force for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis; the 2006 game Justice League Heroes for the PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox, and Nintendo DS; and the 2008 game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Wonder Woman is also playable in the Game Boy Advance games Justice League: Injustice for All (2002) and Justice League: Chronicles (2003), both based on the Justice League cartoons, while she appears as a summonable "striker" character in Justice League Heroes: The Flash for the Game Boy Advance. Wonder Woman will appear as a non-playable character in the upcoming DC Universe Online to be released November 2, 2010, for the PlayStation 3 and PC."
While some feel it was the Mortal Kombat: Annihilation movie, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is popularly touted as the lowest point for the franchise – at least in terms of video games. The prototype IP soup tried to do something new with popular characters going head to head, but never really got a good reception.
The biggest issue was that with the introduction of DC and Warner Bros, MK's iconic gore had to be dialed down. Batman, after all, cannot be split into two by Kung Lao's hat. However, while the game itself signaled the fatality of the Mortal Kombat franchise, its core formula is what resurrected it to become NetherRealm Studio and the reboot we've come to adore.
MK vs DC wasn’t awful. If reception for that game made mk9 possible then hopefully the failures of MK11 can make some good changes as well. It’s time to get rid of variations, they had a good run but ended up a mess.
I think MK 9 did.
In fact I remember being bummed that this was a T rated MK game and just dismissed it. MK 9 was when I actually stood back and said, "They're back!". Still think that game is fantastic.
With the Mortal Kombat franchise now on its 11th installment this year, one of those many franchise entries, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe has not been remembered fondly, and in fairness, it isn’t difficult to see why. The action is somewhat muted for a Mortal Kombat game, it’s infamously lacking in extra content, and its arrival heralded the end of series publisher Midway Games. However, while this reputation is understandable, it is not deserved. Not only that, but the game may have even ensured that the more recent Mortal Kombat installments came into being at all.
The wait time for NetherRealm’s Injustice 2 is getting shorter with each passing day, and fans are ready to step into the DC Universe yet again to punch each other into submission. Ed Boon and company have been hard at work building up their reputation since being bought by Warner Bros. in 2009, and it may be time for them to do something that could be considered a challenge. And what could be more of a challenge than rebooting Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe? Longtime Mortal Kombat fans had to go through several mediocre titles before NetherRealm released the excellent 2011 reboot. MK vs. DC was the last game in the series developed by Midway before their closure (along with just being their last game, period) and saw the two universes collide and its various characters subsequently punch each other into hamburger meat.
No.
The gameplay itself was fine. The thing that made the first one so bad was that WB/DC did not like the idea of their heroes and villains being brutally killed. This made the game very watered down, less violent and with terrible fatalities. I can't imagine WB/DC would be okay with that now.
I think they're opening up to the idea more you can see in the latest Injustice game that some moves are pretty brutal and there is some blood now.
It'll all depend on them though, if they're okay with fatalities and complete blood and everything then I say go ahead and make another one otherwise don't
Yeah but there's a big difference in having brutal moves in the game and ripping someone's head and spine out of their body.
I can't see WB/DC being okay with ripping characters like Batman and Superman limb from limb.
yep i would defo like another DC VS MK but i would much prefer the grand daddy of all Vs battle from the 90s. Mortal Kombat VS Street Fighter.
Why? Just play Injustice, its a copy amd paste of MKX. Design, game mechanics and all. Even a lot of the Injustice games roster have stolen moves from MK.
How much are you all willing to bet that the next MK will have the different costume design mechanic?
No keep them seperate. MK vs DC was the worst MK game imo. MK9 blew that game out of the water and everyone forgot about it. No fatalities and a gimped MK roster for superheroes/villains that I personally have 0 interest in is dumb
Not to be offensive, but those are the sl**tiest Wonder WOMEN Ive ever seen.
The one on page 2 is amazing. That's the best ever.
LOL, those Denise Milani pics were practically a stop-motion striptease. But she was hands down the sexiest.
I think there is screen tear on image 9.
Look at her boobs and the slit in the top.
The curves don't match up:)
Other then that, nice
because when I'm near her she wonder's what position she'll be assuming next.
Score!
