Mortal Kombat

[Steevy Maximus]

At today's State of Play, Sony got to reveal the newest project from preservationists at Digital Eclipse (Atari 50, Tetris Forever):
The Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection! Featuring most of the classic games (though, not all have been revealed), along with numerous port variations. The arcade and console versions all sport online functionality. In addition to the games, there will be a trove of behind the scenes material, including documentation and videos.
The current title list:

• Mortal Kombat – 1992: Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear
• Mortal Kombat II -1993: Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, 32X
• Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995: Arcade, SNES, Genesis
• Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995: Arcade, SNES
• Mortal Kombat 4 – 1997: Arcade
• Mortal Kombat Advance – 2001: Game Boy Advance
• Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance – 2002: Game Boy Advance
• Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition – 2003: Game Boy Advance
• ???

I'm surprised to see the GBA Deadly Alliance and TE make the cut. To me, you're better off "cutting things off" at MK4/Gold as that seemed to be the end of the "Klassic era" of the franchise. I'm hoping MK Mythologies makes the cut as well, since it was such a big release at the franchise's peak.

Day one buy for Switch 2. Is Gold confirmed yet or just the Arcade version of 4? Either way, this is quite the collectionn!

And yeah, I do hope the Mythologies makes the cut. But even if not, This is going to be a must get.

From the looks of it, i‘m betting Klassic Kollection in this case might end up containing everything up to Armageddon. I mean, MK9 was NRSs ’reboot’, so everything before that is technically Klassic.

Also, they made GBA MK games?

That was the only thing in that entire live that was worth a damn
AND Im not even an MK fan I own one game in the series (MK for the PS1) and only beaten MK4 in arcade
But still thats a huge swath of games under one tin and thats worth it

I'm a little disappointed at some of the omissions there, like Mortal Kombat on SEGA CD. Or other versions of MK4, or MK Trilogy.

Hopefully they include some sort of "won't read your inputs and cheat" mode or something.

I agree. MK Trilogy is a definate must (both PSX and N64), and I guess MK on the Sega CD was possibly omitted because of the file size (and maybe some issues with the Mortal Monday music video, like the use of the likeness of the actors who were in the video), and MK Gold I agree should be in, but I guess was omitted due to emulation issues or some other issues.
