and to think the usual refrain you hear about 3DO is "it sucks"...but now it has what I'd consider the best port of Mortal Kombat II out of any of the consoles that saw ports back in the day.

We're talking basically arcade perfect and who wouldn't want that! A little xmas 3DO fun and a brand new port

Does shang tsung have to load in transforms?

 

[rodrigolfp]

Better than the arcade version emulated in 4k+???

Doubt.

Doubt.

Best console version i assume.

Also, it's not like emulating this game at 4k is making any difference... 2D assets don't get upscaled.

Use some decent CRT shaders and you should be set.

Exactly.

Well that's not a port though…it's the original

You said "best version" in the title.

It's literally a port... The dev took the arcade original and ported it to the 3DO. That's what a port means.

I'm talking to the guy about the arcade version

I added the word port now so people are clear

Sorry got confused there

 

[Wishmaster92]

I need this on my mister fpga

 

[consoul]

Nice! I can almost imagine the full page ad in the gaming magazines if they'd done this back in the day:

Get over here! For REAL.

Nothing can prepare you for Kombat on 3DO.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

So sad that modern systems dont get this and the other arcade MK's because NRS is busy giving robots vaginas

 

[chromatic9]

That is seriously impressive.

 

[Spukc]

Nm

 

[s_mirage]

This is indeed impressive, but I wish he'd hurry up and get a release out there. This project hasn't exactly been covert, and I'm on tenterhooks that it's going to get a C&D.

Always a risk but so far so good

 

[SpiceRacz]

Not surprised. The Street Fighter 2 port on 3DO is awesome.

 

[Danknugz]

the best version of MK2 imo is the earlier version where you can glitch out of a babality and crash the arcade machine

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

only viewed it quickly, but seems like waaaaaay more camera shake than arcade, and the way jump kicks land is different, background layers behave differently...
port team look some liberties.

looks good though and want to play.

 

[Drew1440]

Interesting, could the 3DO handle a port of Killer Instinct? It should be capable of streaming the background assets off the CD-ROM, possibly at a lower resolution or colour depth.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

What's the point when MAME exists? Honest question.

MK2 was my main game at the arcades. Perfection.
