Toys R Us Leaks Mortal Kombat DLC Launch

Looks like Toys R Us has accidentally announced that some Mortal Kombat DLC will be released Wednesday. Whether it....

MechaZain4737d ago

Today I learned Toys R Us sells mature games.

Moerdigan4737d ago

I have for quite awhile, and it honestly kinda bothers me.

Elimin84737d ago

Why does or should it bother you?

Larry L4737d ago

Why would it bother you? It's probably one of the only places that actually cards younger gamers to verify age.

But it's not like this is something new or anything. Toys R' Us has always sold M rated games. Toys R' Us is actually where I pre-ordered and bought both MK 1 and 2 when they originally released.

theaceh4736d ago (Edited 4736d ago )

Agree with Moerdigan

The whole thing just feels borderline hypocrite/cynical. Like buying adult movies @ a religious center.

Giru0174736d ago

How so? I remember buying MK2 for SNES at Toys'R Us many many years back.

Man talk about the first day purchasers getting screwed lol, seems like every game is getting discounted this week.

And that DLC better not be on disc.

GamingGuru4737d ago

Can almost guarantee it'll be on disc.

limewax4737d ago

Retro Scorpion, Sub Zero, Reptile, Etc. Better be free if so, but that would enrage anyone who pre-ordered

Ser4737d ago

@limewax

Free costume DLC? I wish.

limewax4737d ago

Im just being hopefull, These retro costumes are on disc, something ed boon said wouldn't happen, the least he could do is make the on disc content free. I really hope he doesnt pull one of these moves, I actually trusted this guy unfortunately

zeal0us4737d ago

skarlet is already on the disc she got no combos or voice overs or storyline, she can just punch and kick nothing else

Prototype4737d ago

I'm more pissed I paid $60 for a game to only be half the f-in price 2 weeks later!

Sitdown4737d ago

Why?......if it really makes you that upset, all you have to go do is see if your store will price match. If not, you can always purchase at ToysRus and then return that copy to the store you originally purchased from.

LOOK_AT_THIS_I4736d ago

With the record over the past year you should be accustomed to it by now. Nearly every game except call of duty and a select few others have went rank and file on this practice.

I either use amazon with the pre order credits or wait a few weeks to pick up any new game now, its insane that this occurs but if we keep up with this buy into the exclusive pre order dlc from specific stores garbage it will only get worse come next gen.

jwk944737d ago

Pretty much all of the dlc for the next 1-2 months is already on the disc. Hackers have already shown around 12 character that are just locked.

Foxgod4737d ago

Which are those?
I only heard of Chameleon, Scarlett, Tremor and Rain.
All other hacks are just generic Zombies and other NPC characters...

jwk944737d ago

Oh? Really? I thought there were bosses in there too? Idk, I don't own MK so i couldn't really say, you'll have to go look at the article itself.

Captain Qwark 94736d ago

where did you read that? i have only heard of kenshi and skarlett and both of those are just character models, no moves, fatalities, ladder endings, etc.

and the video of skarlett is just her models with mileena moves and what looks like jax's throw fyi

Foxgod4736d ago

The hack that is out for MK allows you to play as Chameleon and Tremor as well.
But i am not sure how complete those models are, probably even less complete then Scarlett.

KidMakeshift4737d ago

I really don't know how this kinda stuff flies. It comes off as crooked and illegal to withhold content that is part of the retail purchase.

Giru0174736d ago

It's not... On disc are the klassic costumes, 3 classic fatalities and the character models for Hotaru, Kenshi and Skarlet (who appear in story mode) that don't have any moves, fatalities, voices, endings, portraits... ANYTHING! Just a blank model with no moves/combos but a generic PUNCH-KICK.

And the "locked" characters are the bosses and hidden bosses, we do not know if they'll be unlockable or get unlocked for free/DLC down the road, so no rip-off there either.

gorebago4737d ago (Edited 4737d ago )

I just picked it up at Toys R Us for $30. Glad I waited.

Recessions rule.

DLC already on the disc doesn't rule though.

MeNoRasta4736d ago

Dlc same day as black ops map pack comes out.

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.

Relientk77162d ago

That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories

Terry_B162d ago

Deception, MK2, MK9, MKX ..rest.

Kakashi Hatake162d ago

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.

Tankbusta40162d ago

1 and 2 were cultural phenomenon's.

specialguest162d ago

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
