I don't know how to respond to this without getting angry about it so I'll leave it up to some other people.

Matt

Oh ok bro......i dont think that the PS version sucks man,i think they are both good.to be honest i just enjoy the N64 one a little better thats all.....the Ps loading time i cant take......nothing against the Game trilogy ,i just cant stand the PS........but MK,i love till death,i like the sound in PS version better....graphics in theN64.....Sorry MK2KUNG,i didnt mean to upset you man,your cool.Just a topic to talk about.

I wish i could play you!!!!!!!!MK2KUNG

Relax bro, maybe your tv has a special video input that results in unbelievable graphics to your N64. It's gotta be, because N64's MKT really looks like shit to me comparing to PSX.

No way man...sorry dude....Actually when editors rated them they both got great reviews,form a graphic standpoint they were practically even...........................either way i can use a lot of characters..........more than most people on here i bet.

I got mkt for n64 the graphics are ugly and so is the gameplay i wish i had the psx version its just better in everyway.

The graphics in MKT for N64 are terrible. The characters are rougher around the edges with far fewer frames of animation then MKT for PSX. Also, the colors are distorted, and there are far fewer of them. This is why N64 MKT does not look as good as PSX MKT.

Then there are the lack of characters. MKT for N64 is missing unmasked Sub Zero, Mk2 Kung Lao, MK2 Jax, MK1 Kano and MK1 Raiden. Not to mention Goro and Kintauro, although I don't consider that a huge loss. Cutting 5 good characters is a big negatory. Unfortunately, the constraints of a cartridge are the reason for this (Along with the rougher looking characters and the lower numbers of colors and frames of animation).

Then there is the gameplay. The Greatest Hits Version of MKT for PSX recreates the gameplay of UMK3 for the arcade, plus a few add ons to help balance some of the characters. MKT for N64 breaks the gameplay. I don't know if the game makers were lazy or if they wanted to dumb it down for N64 players since they tended to be younger, but they broke the game play, allowing for so much more cheapness and excessive combos then any other version of MKT or UMK3 (except maybe UMK3 for Saturn) that it ends up ruining the game. They lessen gravity, and remove disabling conditions to allow for inordinate amounts of cheapness.

Then there is the sound. The sound effects are lower quality, the musics are terrible and there are fewer of them. The game, in general, sounds as bad as it looks.

Then there are the backgrounds. There are fewer of them and they don't look as good. They try to get around this by linking more levels together and hacking together new levels, such as the pit in front of the stars and crap like that, all in an attempt to fool gamers into thinking there is something worthwhile there.

What good does N64 MKT provide? They added fatalities for Shao Kahn and Motaro. Bad, simple, pathetic fatalities, that do not add anything.

Loading time? If you turn off the versus screen and set the character select screen to fast, the loading time for MKT for PSX is a couple dozen seconds. Overall, I think its worth it considering MKT for PSX is far superior in every aspect. Literally, every aspect.

You are all entitled to your opionions as i am mine....but if you look up the reviews for both consoles they both got great reviews.....not to mention you guys just by the way your talking are clearly PS fan boys........N64 still better any day of the week,people are to much of a fan boy and an uncanny bias towards the PS to see this....Example golden eye killed so many games at that time.......and i really wouldn't brag about the MK2 and 2 extra bosses in Trilogy for the PS,they all suck anyway.....the bosses.....slow as shit!!!!!!!!

The midway arcade treasures version of it for the Gamecube and Xbox are sweet duplicates of the arcades.PS2 is pretty good too.
Its funny how PS still has the most amount of loading time......GC faster and so is the Xbox!!!!!!!!!!

And as clear as the PS graphics are its still nothing compared to the arcade....nothing is except todays 3 consoles!!!!!!!!

I wasn't talking about next gen consoles. I also wasn't saying that PSX is better then N64. I was saying that MKT for PSX is better then MKT for N64. Whatever you are reading into it is your own. Don't share it where its unwanted and uncalled for.

And also, you should probably not rely on reviewers to determine what games you like. You might find you don't agree with them.

game.com mkt is the best one.

Just admit to us the fact that PSX's MKT is better than N64's in any possible aspect you could come up with. There is no solid evidence found in your statement that proves N64 is better than PS. The more you brag about N64, the more obvious you seem to love PS and can't admit it. What does today's consoles have to do with PS? It only dominates N64 even worst.

Eh? And what about quality wise? Are you going to mention N64 has crispier graphics too close to the arcade, fast gameplay, high-quality sounds and ripped arcade music than PS, you lie.

This clearly has to be a joke thread or hes in huge denial i mean i have the n64 version and i can honestly admit its shit.

Honestly, I could understand liking N64 better if the gameplay was better. I am fine with overlooking the bad sound, bad graphics, and fewer characters if the gameplay is better. But then, to turn around and destroy the gameplay? Thats just back stabbing any real MK fan. And I don't mean the looky loos that just want to do fatalities. I mean the real MK fans that actually play the game enough to know something about it.

I honestly believe they cut corners by taking the SNES version of UMK3 and just upping the graphics and including more characters. MKT for N64 is sloppy and broken just like UMK3 for SNES. Not quite as bad since its a little higher resolution, but still bad. Even back then, the Genesis version of UMK3 had better gameplay then the SNES version did. The nintendo crew was just never big on producing good quality gameplay in these. That's why we get N64, with its mucky, underdone, slobber-like gameplay.

And to think they released multiple versions of MKT for N64 and they never fixed the broken gameplay... So sad.

I like the PS version better (or saturn, that is what I played MKT on. But it is the same thing as the PS version I think). The N64 version was ok but the PS/Saturn version felt better and more complete. I remember Montaro's infinite on the N64 version, just hold foward and continually press kick (he would slide as he kick and could even get a grounded opponent with it). The PS/Saturn version felt more like UMK 3 to me.

Yeah to think about it nintendo hasnt been that good in making mk games but i think there best one was mk2 i know the graphics where great for that time i cant remember the gameplay i think it was actually accurate.But they really messed up on all other mk games maybe because after mk2 most of the average fans that liked it hated mk3 ect.And nintendo didnt put much effort in to the future games im actually suprised they made mk3 and umk3 cause of sony and stuff.

I liked MK T better on the Playstation. The graphics and sounds were so much cleaner than the N64 version. The PS version did start off with bugs but those were corrected in the greatest hits version and thats the one I ended up with. If you play t he ps and N64 version of MK T side by side, then you will clearly see who the winner is. Sure the PS game has to load but wouldn't you want to play a version that looks and resembles the Arcade the best? I know I would.

PS MKT hands down :)

I have returned from work and now I may, as expected, be angry.

Saying PSX MKT is better than N64 MKT has nothing to do with being PS fan boy, it's just stating a fact. Here is a true and false comparison of all factors mentioned, and you will see, N64 doesn't even come close to matching, regardless of reviews, because reviews are often completely inaccurate since they play the game for 10 minutes.

True or False:

1. N64 MKT has gameplay closer to that of Arcade UMK3 than PSX MKT.
False, N64's gameplay is a rough estimation of the gameplay it is based upon, almost to the point of being a spoof game and not actually MK at times.

2. N64 MKT has better graphics than PSX MKT.
False, it is clear to anyone who can see normally that N64's graphics are sub par. The blurring of the television screen helps this.

3. N64 MKT has higher quality sound effects than PSX MKT.
False, not only are they entirely lower quality, but there are less sounds altogether, and become very repetitive.

4. N64 MKT has more characters than PSX MKT.
False, count them.

5. N64 MKT has higher quality background music than PSX MKT.
False, N64's music is it's own midi producer, not UMK3's which is much higher quality. The PSX music tracks simulate this with CD tracks, however they are approximately 95% the speed of the arcade's, there is no explainable reason why they did this other than to prolongue music life during the matches.

6. N64 MKT has more backgrounds than PSX MKT.
False, count them.

7. N64 MKT has more frames of animation per character per state than PSX MKT.
False, N64's animation is choppy and hacked, and it severely affects the gameplay.

8. N64 MKT has more modes of play than PSX MKT.
True, N64 added a 3 on 3 mode.

9. N64 MKT has less loading time than PSX MKT.
True, and I say less because there is loading time during 3 on 3 matches, the one mode they added.

10. N64 MKT is faster than PSX MKT.
False, this is the only subjective category I have listed, but widely considered to be an improvement to gameplay for any fighting game, and PSX MKT is in fact the fastest 2D MK.

Out of 10, PSX wins 8 to 2, if anyone wants to add more categories, go right ahead, but try to keep them to things that are concrete. These are undisputable facts, there's no spin on any of it.

Question: MKT from N64 (rom) have slowdown problems? Unfortunately it's not working here.

I don't know about the rom, but the real cart version of MKT N64 slowsdown horribly all the time. Especially when you've got the aggressor meter up.


6. N64 MKT has more backgrounds than PSX MKT.
False, count them.

PSX has 29 stages, N64 has 30.

PSX has Kahn's Arena and The Bank as exclusives. N64 has Star Bridge(lame), Hidden Portal and Noob's Dorfen.

So...even though PSX has one less, the 2 you are losing are much better than the 3 you get. Unless you really love bridges or something.


But yeah, I agree...N64 MKT is just awful.

From MKSecrets:

Nintendo 64 - Wasteland, The Courtyard, The Dead Pool, The Rooftop, The Lair, The Armory, The Tomb, Scorpion's Lair, Kahn's Cave, Living Forest, The Portal, The Subway, The Street, The Pit, Bell Tower, The Star Bridge, The Tower, River Kombat, Jade's Desert, The Hidden Portal, The Graveyard, The Pit II, Pit 3, Soul Chamber, Kahn's Tower, Lost Bridge, The Bridge, The Pit Bottom, Kombat Temple

I think that's 29 unless I miscounted, is Noob's Dorfen accessible through a code or anything? It's not on the stage select list when I just tried it, I don't consider N64 MKT to be a canon game in terms of competition, so I don't know the specifics. Matt

Thats true, N64 version has 29 arenas.

As for the gameplay, MKT for N64 had nothing to do with the arcade UMK3, man did you ever play the both versions lol. The closest version to UMK3 Arcade is the normal PSX version - not the broken one.

To get Noob's Dorfen you have to do the level select Kombat Kode.... 0-5-0-0-5-0

First of all i want to say get 2 things out of the way really quick..one Dreemerge.......that little comment you made about myself saying unnecessary things.....First of all this is my thread topic,so with all due respect i'll say whatever i damn well please.......you dont realize that alot of people are bias with their decision of the same game made for multiple platforms........example:most players that i have met offline and online that said that they think that MK:Trilogy is much better than the N64 are PS fan boys...admit it most of you if not all of you are saying this because your PS fanboys and you figure well i love the PS so i'll say MKT is better!!!!!!!
I'll admit its smoother,has better sound,a few more characters than the N64 version(nothing really to brag about though) guys.Loading still blows!!!!!unlike the N64 version,which has none.....what are you talking about MKKung2 loading time in the 3vs3?????Are you kidding....compared to the PSX its nothing.
And to Zero-beats,If you haven't figured it out yet pal...I HATE PSX ok man.....i dont like the PSX version of MKT better than theN64.....you guys can go on and on,it doesnt matter to me..............I told you everyones entitled to their own opinion so i enjoy theN64 version more.....i can see if i never played the PSX version,but i have,i dont like it better,i cant take loading times,MK2 characters shouldn't even be in the same game as the UMK3 characters!!!!NOBODY gives a shit about bosses that are slow and have no combos what so ever!!!!!!!!!
So if thats all you guys got than thats not a huge difference,,,shit the two PSX versions i played freaking froze while loading???????Can you say CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!
When i play a game i actually want to play it smoothly without interuption!!!!
N64 never ever gave me any problems,just because the PSX version has slightly better graphics,better sound,and a few more meaningless characters added to it doesn't mean shit guys!!!!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong i love MK all the way and i will play MKT on the PSX if my friends want to play or if their was a tournament.All i said was that i love N64 version better than the PSX......I never knocked the PSX nearly as bad as you guys are the N64 version!!!!!!!!

And one more thing to the guy that said the genesis version of MK2,MK3,UMK3 are better versions than the SNES version,what are you kidding me?LOL,you seriously must be smoking the banja man,for you to say something like that..................and if any of you other guys actually agree with him , than you guys are so ANTI-NINTENDO fans,just afraid to say so.
I have never ever met a MK fan despite what system they like,to ever tell me and say that the Genesis version of MK2,MK3,UMK3 are better than the SNES versions,MK1 genesis was better than the SNES version,but the others are way,way way, better on the SNES than on the Genesis......The genesis versions were absolute crap after MK1.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SNES rocked tha genesis versions so badly,i still have the sales results and let me tell you the SNES kicked SEGAS ass!!!!!!!!
Sega version had horrible sound,shitty graphics,really small characters,way to fast,and ridiculously fast gameplay much faster than the arcade....personally i want to play MK,not Sonic the Hedgehog MK version!!!!!!!
The SNES version is much much better than the Genesis any day of the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i still have the Gamepro that rated MK2 for the SNES 5.0 for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!5.0 being the highest BTW!!!!Genesis couldnt even touch it.
And also to the guy that said that you cant go based on what the editors say......Well this is what i have to say to you,i agree and disagree at the same time...........i try to be open minded.
First i agree with you because and i can see your point because sometimes we have to play the game ourselves to see if we really like them.......after all everyones entitled to their own opinion........
I disagree with you because,whether we like it or not,the editors and critics for everything movies,videogames,plays etc....have a huge influence on the general public.......example Halo2,everyone including the EDITORS said it rocked and kicked ass so what did everyone do,????/They bought it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its the same thing with movies,plays,games you name it!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a fact....just like the media with politics,whenever there is an election,the media will be outspoken about who they are for and knock the opponent.....This has a major influence on people who are undecided about who they want to vote for......so they vote for that person....
I dont mean to go off-topic but im just creating an example.
its the same thing in videogames.
If any of you worked or ever worked in a Gamestop or EB or Toys R us,with video games then you will know exactly what im talking about.....The public will ask you sometimes,is this game good or bad?????A lot of times whatever you say will have an influence on them and their decision.
I worked in retail with videogames before as well as other products,trust me i know what im talking about.

For everyone,i have heard your opinions and you have heard mine......so this is pretty much done with,at least i hope....but one more thing though,and i highly doubt that anyone will disagree with me,Between the MK Trilogy versions of the PSX and N64.......niether of them match up "EXACTLY" up to par with the arcade version.MIDWAY arcade treasures MK2 and MK3 are perfect versions from the arcade because they are the arcade LOL!!!!
All you have to do is get past the glichy shadows,other than that the game is great!!!!!!!!!
And another thing to all......i would gladly take on any of you in MKT for either version N64 or the PSX version anyday of the week.
P.S. By the time i'm done with you ,believe me ,you will hate me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, you rant about hating PSX, and then about hating Genesis...I think you are a nintendo fanboy. I mean, you are the one bringing all different aspects of the system into question when this discussion was only supposed to be about one game.

And honestly, I don't care if its your thread, that doesn't give you license to blow things off topic because you love Nintendo and are insulted personally that others do not mindlessly follow your lead.

I like MKT for PSX better then MKT for N64 because it is better in every respect. I don't rant about system wars and fanboys. You do. Because you are a fanboy that is ignoring the truth to back up a crap version of a game.

Perhaps if I came on here and talked about how PSX does everything better then N64 there'd be some merit to what you say, but I don't so there isn't.

Please try to stay on topic. And, if getting answers to the question you asked upsets you this much, please ask a mod to close this thread and stay away from starting any more. If you didn't want actual comments, you shouldn't have started a thread. I am sure there are lots of forums out there where you can find other people that like Nintendo versions of games more just because they are nintendo. Fanboys tend to flock like that.

Just look at mkflegend profile he cleary hates psx hes the biggest fanboy out there and a hippocrite.
