Apparently a newer version of MK: Deadly Alliance was at another video game conference called ESTC 2002.  There is an eight-second clip of Kano fighting Quan Chi.  Although originally it was an 80 MB movie with footage of many games (hosted by Telenet Games), you can download just the MK portion by visiting Total Mortal Kombat.

Thanks to TMK for the word on this update.

We haven't been following the "Great GameFAQs Character Battle" that closely, but here's the scoop.  Characters from different video games are pitted against each other tournament-style, and the users vote for the winner.  The only Mortal Kombat character in this battle is Scorpion, and he has so far defeated Kazuya Mishima, Max Payne, and Pac-Man.  Now will be his toughest battle yet: Link.

It's not looking good for the undead ninja, and Scorpion needs all the help he can get, so please head over to GameFAQs right away and vote for Scorpion.

The official Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance website has updated their character bio section tonight with Kano. His storyline mentions that he was promoted to General of Shao Kahn's army but must now decide, with a new power arising in the Outworld, if he will align with the weakened Shao Kahn or the new Deadly Alliance (Quan Chi and Shang Tsung). We could assume from this Shao Kahn is making his return in this game, but as always only time can tell. Also check out the bio section for a few new screenshots of Kano in his alternative outfit which is from the original Mortal Kombat.

Thanks to those on the forum who brought this to my attention.

The September issue of Game Informer shows Sub-Zero doing his Skeleton Pull Fatality on Scorpion!  Judging from the pics, it actually looks like a really cool Fatality - much better than Kano's Skeleton Pull from MK3.  So check out the newsstands now for Game Informer - it's the one with Grand Theft Auto on the front cover.

Another magazine exlusive to the U.K. called P2 Magazine has gotten an exclusive 6-page interview with Ed Boon!  Most of the information contained within the interview is now well-known (though they went into great detail on the combo system).  The juiciest tidbits of info have to be that multi-stage arenas ala MK3 and DOA3 are now confirmed to be in the game.  Also, some stages will now contain weapons that your player can use (this is an even better idea than the rocks and skulls from MK4, though vaguely reminiscent of it).

Hopefully you can find a good newsstand to import it, as it is from the U.K.  If you're looking for it, it's the July 2002 Issue of P2 (#22).  Good luck!

Thanks to Luke from Total Mortal Kombat for the news on this update.
