Mortal Kombat is getting their old games ported to everything and the kitchen sinks,what games are you playing online 1st?https://youtu.be/a8Hb7DMRnvY?si=opycfgJxAnYhBnUd Maybe this means they'll bring back gauntlet dark legacy too!?
>>719684563i dont play fighting games
does this include the n64 version of MK Trilogy?
Mythologies Sub-Zero. Nothing else matters.
>>719684563Ultimate MK3. It’s the best old school MK that wasn’t a dream match game like Trilogy. It’s comfy as hell replaying it now.
>>719684563hardest totem run of umk3 until i get my shit pushed in by goro or kintara
>>719684669Based department? Is that you?
>>719684652No think they did throw in the PSone version of MK IV though
>>719684563Playing classic MK online sure is tempting.Of course, if there's anyone playing them at any given time that is.
This game doesn't have cross play so I won't be playing anything online
>>719684826then I'll pass. thats the only one I'd be interested playing online.
games/versions included
>>719684850There are occasional rooms open for the TMNT collection released last year at least on the switch version so given this is much older but very beloved series it should have some legs at launch Here's hoping the net play isn't lagging like crazy
I'm just hoping it sells well enough to get a Legacy Kollection 2 for the 3D Era stuff so I can play SMonks on modern systems.
>>719685038I haven’t played the arcade version of MK4 since the late 90s. Looking forward to a version that’s not totally broken like the Dreamcast port, or that looks like crap on the N64 and PS1
>>719685038>three different versions of the same gameWhat's the difference between snes and the sega version?
>>719684607Me neither but MK2 is worth playing through the arcade mode at least once for the aesthetics.
>>719685262I think its a "just because" sort of thing
>>719685038Boo I want mk 4 n64. The arcade endings are amazing on there
>>719684563Its a little lame that the physical version comes out later. I'll have to wait till then
>>719685310you can emulate that for free
>>719685038why the fuck would they include the ps1 version of mkt and not n64 when they actually made the n64 version themselves?
>>719685310I feel so sorry for anyone who wasn’t old enough to remember Mk 1, 2, and 3 originally coming out.
>no n64 mk4>no gold mk4>gba version of deadly alliance, most likely the version with missing charactersThe rewind feature for myth & forces is cool, I guess. How much is it?
>>719684563>16-bit and other wokefags ruin MK's Legacy forever by releasing a series of shitty MK games that make everything lame and gay>release a collection of the old games to damage control the situationSad.
>>719685473Is that the one where scorpion explodes quan chi?
>>719686061We knew the console ports were compromised, but what mattered is you could play it at home as much as you wanted. I spent countless hours playing the Genesis ports of MK and MK2 and never felt dissatisfied. Obviously I would have loved to play the arcade version all the time, but that simply wasn’t possible back then.
>>719685038No n64 Trilogy?
>>719686393PS1 Trilogy was better anyways. It had the complete roster. The N64 version is missing like 4 characters I think.
>>719685645No they didn't.
>>719684826>No think they did throw in the PSone version of MK IV thoughFuckin liar. >>719685038
>>719685774Where these really considered ground breaking at the time they seem so novelty now?Imagine if they kept using sprites instead of switching to 3D fighters
>>719687283They looked like real people and that wowed most of us. There was this period of time where full motion video and digitized characters were all the rage. Thank god polygon graphics got better and better.
>>719687283Compare MK2's Mileena fatalities to MK1's and remember that MK2 was hugely controversial.
>>719687729Milenna wasn’t in MK1, unless you’re talking about the most recent MK1 that came out a couple years ago.
>>719686614the n64 has 3 vs 3 and is more competitive
>>719684563Meh I'll get the next one that'll have deadly alliance, deception, armageddon, shaolin monks, mk9
>>719687283There were many other FG's with digitized sprites but they all looked like garbage compared to MK
>>719688251Yes who could forget greats such as Bikini Karate Babes
>>719684652No because they haven't figured out N64 emulation
>>719687820Yes, Anon, I meant the one that had the character I was talking about.
>>719688251Don't forget just a few years after MK 4 came out of semi full 3D!I still think it was the best style they should have never abandoned after switching to the 3D era games
>>719688484There was also that one from Naughty Dog that saved their company
Midnight bump
>>719685262The console war legacy of Mortal Kombat is arguably one of the most important of that entire generation. MK1 sold like hotcakes on Genesis because of the blood code versus the sweat and censorship of SNES, and MK2 upping the ante to be mostly uncensored out of the box showed how shite the Genesis port was by comparison. It's effectively almost as important to the franchise history as the arcade games themselves.
>>719688957The pursuit of realism ruined games.
>>719684563let me guess they are desexualizing all the females
>>719690579Has there ever been a retro port that got censored? I imagine it'd be too much work for modern devs.
>>719690579>I NEED TO BE MAD ABOUT SOMETHINGno its just the games straight up you dont need to seethe
>>719690579>didn't even watch the video They couldn't change anything if they wanted it's lost ancient technology at this point m8
>>719690763man can you imagine some of the crazy ass romhacks somehow seeing representation on this thing, it would be stupid and impractical but people really did make some of the ports better or make impossible rosters out of limited hardware
>>719690579>desexualizing>klassic MKThey wore one piece swimsuits, dumbass.It wasn't until the 3D era that they put them in retarded slutwear.
>>719686061Honestly I agree this is fucking irritating, but I hope(they won't) they'll see some light in this and start going back to how the games used to be.
>>719686746look at the credits stupid
>>719685473I mean, it's the same there, the CD ports were the ones which changed the intro and endings into FMVs, arcade even has the AGHRRIT thing.
>>719687861>mfw playing the 32X for the 1st timeIt had higher quality sound didn't it?
>>719689347Qrd?
>>719685038It's total BS that UMK3 Genesis, N64 Trilogy and PS1 MK4 aren't there.
>>719691776Naughty Dog was almost bankrupt so they made Way of The Warrior they were so broke they could barely afford to chroma key the characters they had to hire the dev's friends to play the fighters no idea if they paid them or not they also made the game in one of the developer's apartments it sucked ass but it made just enough to save them
>>719691582https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2oyweqZ7WM
>>719692385That's because the real crown jewel is trilogy anon!! (maybe MK 2)
>>719692840Doom 32X was a bad showing all around besides being one of the only really "playable" non-CD ports, and it was still rough. That fan hack trying to basically rework it for all the PC content is damn good though. But the anon was probably referring to MK2 32X, which was really just a marginally upgraded port of the Genesis version with some better colors and sound but otherwise barely changed.
>>719684563UMK3 Wavenet
I'm guessing that the next collection will be the 3D trilogy, which might include pic related.Hopefully that will be the case, fucking loved playing it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xFxIFdcJm0
>>719694012>Sub-Zero fighting on the good guy side during the first tournamentWasn't that asshole only there to get paid?
>>719694261Mythologies did retcon it as part of the atonement for his colossal fuck up in that game if I remember right, but he was still a profit driven bastard to the end.
>>719694261He was being chased by scorpion remember
>>719690182Which is great and all but why are all three included?Just have the best port.
>>719694734They already do, why not have the extras? It's what more of these collections should be doing. Street Fighter should've had the SNES and MD ports, maybe even the PC Engine version of Champion Edition. The recent Capcom Fighting Collection stuff is great and all, but they're entirely arcade versions with minor concessions up until the Alpha 3 Upper update to include the MAX characters; this means a lot of home content like World Tour, the Power Stone 2 characters in the first game from the PSP packaged pair and so much other stuff are completely absent. If there was a Virtua Fighter collection that Sega is openly considering now, it would be great to have not just VF2 and 3, maybe even 4, in one solid place, but see ports like 32X, Saturn or Fighters Megamix thrown in there as a bonus, etc.I say this knowing only a few CD-based emulators are actually working at major companies right now, Digital Eclipse managing to get the Mythologies stuff and Trilogy going is a big leap for this in terms of mainstream company emulation since Capcom has stepped around bothering with their PS1 library personally, but these collections are already a large pile of nostalgia to begin with. Only the budget and effort on designing individual emulators and perhaps per-game fixes/hacks is the big problem, no one is going to complain about more content or appealing specifically to their home experience nostalgia.
>>719684563>no mk9yawn...
>>719695085Literally said "classic" kollection anon.......
>>719684563Release a GC collection already, damnit, and include >>719694012 ofc.The 2D ones are better yeah but they can de played in everything already unlike DA, Deception, Shaolink monk and Armageddon
>>719695401MK was on gamecube?
>>719695970the so called ps2 games performed better on GC, except armageddon and shaolin monks since there was no GC version on those lol.
>>719687861MK TASes are so entertaining.
>>719684563 mortal kombat hasnt been good for years. this doesnt change any thing.
>>719696567Mortal Kombat hasn't been bad since Armageddon.What the fuck were they thinking with the absolute trash Kreate-a-Kharacter and Build-a-Fatality mechanics?
>>719684669anon MK4 is right there!?It's over Jared!https://youtu.be/JbsfJinaZWc?si=5dmy5Q7_U1qX42Js
>>719696669Hey now, I get the fatality problems, but since Armageddon was largely just building on what already existed, I don't hate the custom character stuff as a fun bonus on the side.
>>719696567>implying anon please
>>719697256nta but it was great & really should have been expanded in MK9
>>719684563is it as censored as the crapcom collections?
>>719685038>GB and GBAnah this is not it. Somebody needs to redo this shit and make the MK:DA, MK:D, MK Shaolin Monks, MK:A its own collection
>>719695337mk9 is classic, probably the second most iconic mk game
>Digital EclipseNo fucking thanks.
>>719694734The arcade is already definitive but the Genesis and SNES version would sometimes some with extras like cheat codes and extra modes and characters sometimes, Rain (The purple palette male ninja) was not in the Arcade version despite being in the demo reel but he is in all of the home console versions of said game. He was put in there to bamboozle arcade players into searching for him and the console versions because Ed boon is a troll I guess.
>>719696020They didn't have series like Tekken or DoA to compete with.
>>719684607FPBP
>>719684563I think the one on xbox, some that had singleplayer, was actually good game. I don't know if that's been ported to other system howevernot related but Otogi is also pretty good
>>719685774I remember the arcade had a number you could call to order a storybook from. I tried it and it fucking worked. I ain't even american.
>>719685262Fergality
>>719699708Rain and playable Noob were in the console versions to make up for Sheeva getting removed due to memory issues.
>>719684563Does this include all the game boy and game boy color MK games and the DS port with its tetris mode?
If this comes out and the emulation has like 8 frames of input lag it's gonna be hilaroous
>>719702378First two Game Boy games, three Advance games (including the worst game in the series with MK Advance, but also the competent ports of the 3D era games to GBA too), and one Game Gear port of MK1.Other novelties are apparently>32X version of MK2>Mythologies Sub Zero and Special Forces for PS1>Trilogy for PS1>Wavenet version of UMK3 that introduced Noob Saibot to the seriesInterestingly enough, no UMK3 Genesis despite having it for SNES. It's not exactly a "cohesive" lineup of ports.
>>719702832Thanks.Sucks that they did not include all the ports. I loved the MK Gold on the n64 along with MK3U on the DS.
>>719703084the DS version of UMK3 is the exact same as the arcade version that is included in this collection. DS version just had the added bonus of puzzle kombat mode from MK Deception
>>719694012Why did they include MK4 then?
>>719703646MK4 is popularly seen as belonging to the "Arcade era" of MK games which encompasses everything before Deadly AllianceDeadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon and Shaolin Monks are seen as a separate era by fans because they all released on PS2 + the three fighting games used the same engine and game mechanics
>>719702461 It always blows my mind how they manage to botch something as simple as 90s arcade game emulation in 2025. Like bro, MAME's been doing it perfectly for two decades but somehow these "official" collections be playing like you're fighting underwater with mittens on. If I see one more Digital Eclipse logo I'm uninstalling on sight.
