Jakks Pacific announced that it is planning to release the arcade version of Mortal Kombat as a plug-and-play TV Games device. Of special interest to fans of the classic fighter, the controller for Mortal Kombat will be an exact replica of the original Mortal Kombat arcade panel. The device will be available in October for about $20.

Each TV Games product is a stand-alone device that contains all the hardware and software needed to play the game in the battery-powered controller. Players simply plug the controller into the A/V jacks of their TV and begin playing.

Also included in its holiday lineup are Spider-Man and World Poker Tour games. Currently available TV Games titles include Ms. Pac-Man and an Atari package. More information about the product line is available at the Jakks TV Games Web site.

The Genesis one sounds better. Kid Chameleon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, and others I can't remember.

 

[sc0la]

can you play two player tough?

 

[SyNapSe]

Those sound sweet. I hate getting fighting games for my consoles because I don't have one of those nifty arcade pads.. like x-arcade.

 

[Defensor]

can you play two player tough?

I don't think so...

 

[Nikashi]

I don't think so...

I think he meant for the MK stick

 

[Anyanka]

Sounds cool. Wonder if it will actually be good. That'll be 3 different versions of MK1 coming out this fall...

Special Edition of Deception? wtf? Where is this so I can preorder?!

 

[heavy liquid]

This is very cool, but not having a two player mode for a fighter kills it for me. Would've been nice if they could have designed it so two of them could link together for two player matches.

 

[Anyanka]

The special MKD was up on Gamestop's site for a while, but it's been taken down. Probably means Midway is going to annouce it soon.


No two player is pretty weak, but who's actually going to play two player MK1?

 

[MoxManiac]

Wait, the articles says the original arcade panel? Wouldn't that cost a lot more than $20?

Exactly what I was thinking. It's probably gonna be some cheap shit that "looks" like the arcade, but very small.

 

[Anyanka]

It will surely be cheap crap. I doubt it will even be an exact replica of the art.

 

[FortNinety]

Screw MK, its all about part 2.









Actually.... it's all about part 3.

 

[Bog]

Uhh, who wouldn't want to?

 

[Dujour]

Dudes! The Spider-Man game with the Submariner and Black Cat? That was rocked the old school so hard.

 

[evil ways]

Exactly what I was thinking. It's probably gonna be some cheap shit that "looks" like the arcade, but very small.

It'll probably be a small generic control pad/stick with a cheap decal or sticker of the MK arcade panel.

 

[Anyanka]

Uhh, who wouldn't want to?

Someone looking for a good fighter to play with a friend.

Well, I guess there's nostaglia...

 

[Hellraizah]

Screw MK, its all about part 2.
Actually.... it's all about part 3.

1.Yes
2.No

 

[Anyanka]

MK3's a lot better than II.

 

[Dujour]

MKII, the right amount of everything.

MKIII, too much crap in it, like a bloated baby from a Silent Hill game.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

MKII > MKIII = fact. no discussion.

 

[Error Macro]

MK3's a lot better than II.

Uhhh, no. MK3 was nice, but MKII is just about 1000x better.
