The best versions of Arcade to home games from the MK series in my opinion are....
MK II for the SNES
Mortal Kombat 3 for the PSX
Mortal Kombat 4 for the N64
I heard that the Amiga version of the original MK was pretty good. Does anyone have any pictures of that? What about MK II for the Amiga?

Admitted the Genesis versions had some cool tricks, like the flag settings in MK 1 and the cheat menu's in part II and 3 but I would much rather play the SNES versions of the games. That is choosing between SNES and Genesis.


TheProphet, GGs my friend. Give'em Hell.
MKII was better for SNES then Genesis or 32x in every way, because it had the better graphics and the gameplay didn't matter too much since it was kinda blah to start with.
MK1 SNES was missing the blood, but I still think it was far better since EVERYTHING else about it was better. The graphics and sounds for Genesis were a crime. And again, the gameplay didn't matter a ton since, well, the gameplay was so simplistic.
MK3 and UMK3 we hit a problem. They both looked Hideous for Genesis, but Genesis had the more accurate gameplay compared to the SNES. ANd, by this point, for the sake of fitting everybody on the SNES cart, the SNES version of UMK3 was pretty damned hideous as well. MK3 was tolerable, but I couldn't stand UMK3. I would have to say MK3, the worst was Genesis, UMK3, Genesis eeks out a win thanks to its better gameplay and SNES' bad presentation.
MK4 for PSX and PC looked bad. N64 looked much better. I don't know about the gameplay for them compared to the arcade since the gameplay seemed thoroughly generic for all of them.
And, my conclusion, MK4 for Gameboy was the worst fighting game ever created. Ever.

Added to the list of worst conversions would have to go Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the N64 (not really a conversion, more like UMK 3 plus). The sounds, music, and colors in that game should have been so much better.

I always wondered what MK Trilogy on the Game.Com was like, I imagine it must have been pretty abysmal.
What about MK Advance on GBA? Never played it, but it seems like I've only heard bad things about it. Most reviews I've seen complain that the CPU is too cheap, but I'd like to hear an opinion that really matters. I just assume it can't be that good since no one bothers to bring it up in MKT discussions.


- Your Source for UMK3 Competition -
When something better than UMK3 comes out, I'll let you all know, because it still hasn't happened yet.

umk3 - genesis
mkt - psx
mk4 - n64

MKT for Game.com was a joke. Seriously, the manufacturers sat down and said "well this whole thing is going to fail miserably, lets have some fun"


<------- A TRUE SAIYA-JIN RIGHT THERE
mk2 = snes. the genesis version actually made me cry....
mk3 = psx, but the snes and genesis versions werent as bad as i thought they would be
umk3 = i guess you can say the saturn because that was the only "arcade perfect" port, for the 16-bit systems i'd say genesis unfortunately.
mkt = psx easily, but i actually preferred the saturn version.
mk4 = hard to say, but i kinda liked it better on psx
mkda = xbox. and thats only because i feel more comfortable with that controller
mkd = same as mkda. but from mkda on they all pretty much were the same.


Best MK1 - Snes, Not So Great - Genesis - because Snes it look and feel more arcade like than the Genesis version, and I'm a Genesis fan lol, but what screwed the Snes version is that it didn't have blood.
Best MK2 - Sega 32X, Not So Great - Both Genesis & Snes - both the Genesis and Snes versions of MK2 brought me to tears when playing them, the graphics suck on both versions, but Sega got a second chance with the 32X version and did a somewhat good job with it.
MK3 - No Comment
Best UMK3(Not couting Saturn) - Sega Genesis all the way,
Best MKT - PS, Not So Great - N64, even with the long ass loading time PS had I would still play it over the N64 version, I owned the N64 & rented the PS version, N64 could had been alot better.
Best MK4- N64, Not So Great - PS, now PS made had the character movies, but it just didn't compare to the N64 in graphics & gameplay, and also the N64 version had Kitana(Tanya lighttoned with her yellow outfit being black) but with a Gameshark.

The load times......goodness! How awful.

Oh wow I can't believe I forgot MK3 for PC. That was the best home port of an MK game ever.

Yeah, definately. The neatest part I think was that computers at the time were far from powerful and this game would run on some pretty slow computers even by the standards of the time. And, they took the time to make it compatible with different levels of sophistication. So if your computer couldnt handle all of the sounds it would load up a smaller set of sounds. It got kind of weird when most of the guys in the game yelled the same "Hey!" off of everything, but its better then having no sound or having slow down.
