The Switch 2 version is $60, though. $10 more than the Switch version.
I still bought the Switch 2 version. Curious to see if I'm paying more just to get a red cart and a 2 on the box.

Really? On Atari.com it's 53 Euro while usually EU releases are more expensive than American ones.

No it was different in UMK3. The original MK3 didn't have that problem.

Yeah I preordered from Atari.com in the US and it was $59.99. I got the one with the subzero slipcover. The Switch version is $49.99.

Yeah, I'm thinking this is in the same vein as the MVC collections, which also went the route of preservation over enhancement.

Did it have a release date listed? I seen stores show Dec 2025 and some sites show September 30th 2025. Not sure which is which.
Also do you know if the ps1 mythologies Sub Zero is in this? Wikipedia says it is yet this thread doesn't mention it.

Sub- Zero Mythologies is in.
The exact date is unconfirmed. December is for physical release. October 30th or September 30th are rumored for digital release.

Same. I'm not expecting anything too much more than a higher-than-1080p image (higher than Switch 1 can do) and a flawless fps (whatever works best for these games).
Also I just want to support Switch 2 games that actually release on a physical card.

Nice.... thanks... Ok minds changed, no longer a pass and now a full on buy. $50 price point, inclusion of subzero and special forces (with save states and rewind) documentaries and physical switch release... sold. Wonder what the file size is going to be.

Not much, the games themselves were like 100-300mb. This might be 10gb max with all footage included.

I read about the Wavenet version, and its actually a big deal. Its essentially an UMK3 Final version. Its the last revision of this classic, with Noob Saibot playable, who was only playable on the 16-bit console ports otherwise.

I pre-ordered the Switch 2 version.
I think I read somewhere that this version will be Scorpion Gold themed even though the picture doesn't show this.
its 60 on s2 and all on cart.

I think the ninja slipcovers are only available if you preorder on Atari.com. I opted for the Sub Zero blue one.

Saved for another collection as I reckon it'll return. I could see them doing a PS2 collection too. Shaolin Monks is too good to ignore, Deception was also quite beloved.

Not sure if posted yet, but MKSecrets had a great long interview with Dan Amirich about the Kollection with alot of great info shared, with him addressing alot of the frequent, repeating questions.
Interesting to hear how much of a pain in the ass MK4 was and still is to get arcade perfect.

The Cowabunga Collection was almost 8GB on PS5 and these were a bunch of smaller games and no documentaries, but now we have bigger PS1 games with cutscenes and new interviews and other footage. I kinda think this will be bigger.

Dan Electro is a name I haven't heard in a long time. He was a Gamepro editor in the 90's.
It sounds like they are close with MK4, but not there yet. Its likely going to be the most faithful emulation of the game yet. For preservations sake this collection is already a must. MK4 has N64, PSX, PC and DC versions and all of them are inferior. PC was just a PSX port with higher resolution. DC version has smaller characters and worse lighting than the arcade. MAME is inferior too, showing incorrect graphical details and lighting. The only way to play the best version is by getting a PCB.
This collection is perhaps going a breakthrough for this game.

It could be but dont expect some insane amounts of unseen footage, they already released so many BTS vids. At best we will get the Krypt files which is mostly drawings and pdf files. C&C Remastered is 30gb and that game has 5+ hours of just video footage. Id hold my breath on thinking they will absolutely cram this collection with everything ever made for the games. Game size wise, MK4 is 350mb and thats the biggest game. Literally all games together wont be more than 1.5GB.

This is what I miss about past gens. You could get something like Mythologies, Special Forces and Monks sandwiched between the main games as smaller, more experimental titles. Of course not all of those landed, but it was nice to see expanded usage of the IP. Monks is pretty much universally loved by MK fans, so it's really frustrating that there was never a follow-up to it. Hell, a Scorpio/SubZero team-up practically writes itself. Call it Mortal Kombat: Cold Vengeance or something lol.

He mentions the load times, and specifically, for shang tsung, the character morphing..it's sort of essential really. My main on MK2 (arcade) was shang tsung, and morphing (to sub zero and then Johnny cage to punch 3x heads off) and others was sort of essential gameplay wise. It was key for him.

Still hoping for MK Gold. Don't suppose there is much hope for that, is there?

a Scorpion and Sub Zero sequel to Shaolin Monkes was actually in the works, but was ultimately cancelled.
the working title was Mortal Kombat: Fire & Ice

We have higher quality video footage than that despite low resolution. The AI is not bridging the gap from the simplified sprites.

I think there was a lot of playable characters in shaolin monks. You had to use cheat device to play them.
