They were lazy. Thats why a lot of the fatalities were incomplete. It is nice that they took the time to fix the gameplay though. Between the original version of MKT for PSX and the final version the gameplay was greatly improved.

Its a shame they didn't provide decent quality gameplay in the N64 version... But at least they had 2 hacked in boss fatalities.

What do you mean by hacked fatalities man ?

So cut and dry. I love it. Shang doesn't have the Kintaro Fatality, but you sure as Hell can Morph into his big ass! LP for a few seconds does the Kintaro Morph, just do his manly grab right as they are about to fall looks cool too cause he punches them clean off the screen! It's funny as hell.

This is admittedly edited by me in terms of music and the load time being cut out for visual purposes. I recorded the video with none playing, and just added in the brief music clip, the finish him music, and the weird eerie noise at the end, to give it a more MKII feel, probably what should have been done but I guess telling it to load little tracks inbetween would have been more than they could handle.

Kintaro Wins in Style

Motauro just did his ending stance with the head attached to his hand.

Kahn just did a slightly modified version of Sheeva's fatality. They didnt have to really create anything new for it or even program much. Just a simple little hack. They obviosly didn't want to go through too much effort because they would have added the spine to make Sub Zero's head rip possible.

lol

That was awesome.

In Midway's defense it wouldn't have been possible to do it just like it was in MK II since there was no animation of a torso falling that way. They would have had to make it look like Cage's torso kick in MKT N64 which would just look stupid.

Oh wait, looking stupid didn't stop them in MKt....

Also, I think it would have seemed silly to have the Kintaro fatality because now Shang could morph into him during normal gameplay. Although I suspect laziness was the real reason... but by pure coincidence the laziness fell in line with logical reasoning.

I made a new thread because I think it deserves it. I showed Psykosonic the stylish defeat with Kintaro, and he suggested I tried the one button fatalities and hit HP. Something I never ever would have tried because A. I don't play as bosses B. I use limited morphs C. I don't do fatalities, brutalities, etc, that often and D. on top of that I don't use one button fatalities to do those fatalities which I do not enjoy doing.
