>>12490107It caused a moral panic similar to the one in the west, and led them to set up an agency to oversee and censor violent games (MK in particular) starting in 1993.
The other day I found a Japanese game collector's website. He's a massive Mortal Kombat fan. It looks like he's trying to get every version of every Mortal Kombat game from every region, and he's well on his way. If I counted correctly he has over 100 Mortal Kombat carts / discs. He also has a page on his website where uploads high quality rips of rare Japanese promotional VHS tapes for games. Naturally, he has one for Mortal Kombat II on the Megadrive.http://rikusyo.me/
>>12491819just now i googled. im a massive attention whore.
>>12492251Is that your website? That's funny. I apologize if you didn't want to be linked here. Discovering a Japanese Mortal Kombat fansite a few days before someone made this thread is an uncanny enough coincidence that I thought I would be remiss not to mention it.I think your website is awesome. Keep up the good work.
>>12491819>not httpsyeah uh not worth it
>>12492759It's a regular html website with no input fields. Do you think someone is going to do a MITM attack on your network and inject the website with a malicious JavaScript zero day? If you're that paranoid, don't use public WiFi. Or use a VPN or whatever.
>>12492706>Is this my cope?Yes. And it's well beyond funny. Epically hilarious.
>>12490107The first game did receive an official Super Famicom release, as did some of the sequels on other consoles. Along those lines, I'm very fascinated by official Japanese releases of non-Doom western FPSes. Granted, some like picrel were just the US version with a sticker and an obi, with some Japanese instructions included in the box, but others, like base Duke 3D and even Redneck Rampage, had fully original boxes with Japanese logo art (games are still English)
