I like how in that video, Ed Boon was really excited about the level of violence in the new MK game, but was a little apalled that someone would think there would be nudity in it.

I'm still really looking forward to it and considering getting it.

With the big push Mortal Kombat properties are getting, new game, old movies on Blu-ray and web series, I'm kind of surprised and sad they didn't go the full 9 yards and finally release a box set of Mortal Kombat Conquest. I'm sure it was a horrible show, but I have fond memories of it.

Who all is going to get Mortal Kombat? I pre-orded mine from Amazon a few days ago. I hope I will have some dudes here to play with.

Last night, I was thinking, "I'm so hype for MK9, I want to try out some old MOrtal Kombat again. Deception can't be as bad as I remember." And then it was and I was horrified and started losing hype for the new game. Please tell me it plays better than Deception.

I finally got the MK demo to work. It met or exceeded expectations. I can now go back to frothing without fear.

ALSO: How come they keep failing to use the Mortal Kombat theme in the games? That's half the reason the movie is regarded as well as it is.

Probably. I'd want a lot of money for it.

I just saw something really cool on Youtube (Spoilers): You can fight hidden battles against Klassic ninjas by doing similar things to how they were fought in the originals. In the forest stage, sometimes Smoke pokes his head out from behind a tree. When he does, press the back button (select) and down, and you'll fight him. Not only will he be wearing his klassic costume, but he will use the moves he used back in MK 2. Reptile is discovered in a pretty much much the same way as before. I also saw a video of a Klassic Noob fight and read in the comments about Ermac, but I don't know how you get to them.

I used to have the MK movie soundtrack, but I can't find the CD now.

They are already releasing a patch for the new games. I wouldn't be surprised if they patched the Klassic Kostumes in at some point to mess with the street breakers or after any exclusive kontent deals with the pre-order distributors run out.

Generally in stick setups, the block button comes between the two columns of attack buttons.

I played this for many, many hours today. Almost ready for some online sparring with SB Bros. My biggest complaint so far is that Shao Kahn is covering up DEM LEGS.

Now i wish had gone with the PS3 instead because my X-box has started freezing on me.

Well, just RRoDed. Joy. Should have gone with the PS3 version after all.

I agree with you both. Smoke and Noob were always my favorite characters. I just always felt special when playing them since they were hidden characters in 2 and 3. I knew going into this game I was going to watch them. I watched the Noob announcement trailer over and over again. Even though they are radically different from how they were in 2, I'm still having a blast playing them. I can finally play this again (had to buy a new X-box) and as soon as I get comfortable enough playing singles, they are going to be my first tag team.

I was on the fence about the previous two episodes of Mortal Kombat Legacy, but episode three is actually really great.

Mortal Kombat Legacy part 4 is out. It's definitely taken a sharp left turn from where it was expected to go. Also, it looks like that ran out of money pretty fast.

I made an opponent rage quit for the first time tonight. He then left me a voice message where he called me Obama's grandmother and expressed the hope that Al-Queda would shoot me in the head. In fact, I got quite a few vocalizations of people being upset because they hadn't figured out how to teleport around Noob's shadows.

Yeah, I always felt bad about fireball spamming in Street Fighter, but in MK almost everybody has some way to punish fireballs, so I have no qualms about putting a thousand shadows on the screen with Noob.

I know you can, but it is much easier to do in MK. It is making me appreciate fireballs in Street Fighter more though. I imagine if I ever go back to 4, Cody will be throwing a lot more rocks.

Just watched some youtube videos and I really like the look of Dark Awake. Is it only out in Japan? The 360 version of Battle Fantasia is $10 on Amazon. Guess it wouldn't hurt to get it...?

I hadn't really been playing any Mortal Kombat lately, but all the new stuff got me hype enough to come back, so I guess it is doing what it is supposed to. Skarlett is pretty fun. I certainly like her more than Mileena or Kitanna. I'm really looking forward to Rain though. I hope is still has all of his crazy reality warping and stuff.

Marvel side looks great (love Rocket Raccoon and in my perfect world we would Star Lord instead of Hawkeye), but I said I wouldn't buy MvC3 until Gene is payable and I'm sticking to that.

Poison looks somewhat bulge free.

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

Also, I kind of wish they had gone back to Cody's original look for this.

It's what, 3 years late? I'm so happy though. I hope my X-box doesn't melt from how awesome this is. Guys, we got KOF 98, 2k2 and 13, Garou, MVC2, Third Strike and now VF5FS all on one system. These are truly amazing times we live in. Is there anything else we need. An XBLA port of KOF 11 maybe?

So this fall, we're all playing KOF 13 together and then next summer we'll be all about some Final Showdown, right?

How didhey not have anything ready for the event? It's a two year old arcade game. They could have just brought a cab or two. Even now they are just reusing one of the old trailers.
