I personally don't think it is fair, to people who don't have a Gamecube, but follow the MK series religously. It is a upset to any true fan, and sure Ihave a Gamecube, but why forkout another $50 for two characters whos stories will not fit in at all, as Goro had been buried, adn Havik has an ending where he resurects Shao Kahn, they'll have to switch Haviks ending to I guess, Hopefully they put more than Goro, and Kahn in. I myself would like Fujin, Stryker, Rain, and Sareena, and of course Kung Lao.

I think it's bs that GameCube would have something better than the other versions, just because it didn't have online play. Big whoop...
But I will miss seeing Kahn and Goro in action...cause I'll be damn if I buy a GameCube just to see 2 extra characters. I'm a MK fan but not desperate.

lol I'm right pissed I sent midway an Email today I'll tell you if I get a response

I for one am excited about the GCN release. I don't own a PS2 or an XBOX, but I was extremely tempted to buy one when MKD was released - for that one reason only.
I'm not interested in online play, so that was a non-issue with me. But it would be great to see additioanl/extra characters like Shao and Goro back in the series. I have other favs as well that I'd like to see return, but I'd be happy at this point to only have a clone of the XBOX or PS2 release to play on the Cube - despite some of the comments made here on this forum.
I didn't piss and moan about the delayed GCN release. I considered switching consoles just to play it. I'm not going to be upset if there isn't anything more than two extra chars, though more stages, death traps, and hidden stuff would be cool.
It's hard to ask for "more" when you haven't had "anything" thus far.

I bought an X-box almost purely for Decption, but I wasn't dumb enough to sell my gamecube, nothing will ever beat super smash bros. melee. Anyway, I think that for the people who have waited months for the Gamecube version, especially people in Europe deserve more than these two characters, but I hope they are exclusive to the gamecube. People may moan and complain about these characters not being on Ps2 and X-box but GC doesn't have Online and the GC owners had to wait extra long.

you think it would be fair for us cubers to not even get the game? How do you think we felt when they first announced the game isn't coming out for our cubes? Would you say the same stuff again, if there wasn't a cube version? I highly doubt it...

No I think you should get the game but it shouldn't be anymore special than the other two consoles versions, cause lord knows Nintendo has always been a pain on Midways ass about their games.

It's not like PS2 or XBox never get extras in games that were originally released on the GCN. It's a rarity that GameCube gets the extras. For the one time it happens, everyone bitches about it. It's not going to force games to come to the GameCube first, than a year later to XBox and PS2 with extras, which happens with pretty much every GCN-exclusive game that doesnt feature a Nintendo character like Mario, Link, or DK. Geez.. XBox and PS2-exclusive gamers have been spoiled so far. How does it feel to be at the short end of the stick for a change?

Agreed!

its funny how all the nintendo bashers with their made-up facts (i.e. nintendo always makes it difficult for midway to release their games. that is a false opinion, not fact). i didnt have an xbox or ps2 before mkd came out. i had to go buy an xbox in order to play the game on the day of release. did i cry about it? no. it sucked they shafted nintendo but i accepted many months in advance that i will just have to buy an xbox as i am a huge fan of mk. and then after i baught the xbox version i get a HUGE shaft; midway announces the nintendo version. but guess what...i dont care. guess what i will do? i will buy it for gamecube, too. i aint made out of money, hence is why i could only support one console before, but i am actually happy that a game that will be five months old when the gc version is released will have some fresh content and help keep the game going even longer. gamcubes cost 99 bucks new and 50 used. i mean seriously cry me a huge river. i had to buy an xbox for 150, the game for 50, a 2nd controller for 24, and a component cable for 15. add that up. now add up the cost of a gc and the cost to play mkd on it. guess which costs more? again, cry me a river. for all the bashers who feel "betrayed" by midway need to stop posting on internet forums until they a) get some pubic hair b) get their mom's permission to be on the net c) stop soiling their milk and cookies in their "midway betrayal" tears.

So true. It wasn't like I went on a fit when I heard Godzilla Destroy All Monsters wasn't exclusive on the cube anymore. It ended up on the xbox some months after the cube release. And guess what... the xbox version had extras that the cube didnt. An extra character, fixed the glitches, and 2 new arenas. Did I bitch and complain? Not at all. I didn't care so much... granted I wanted to play the game a little... but it wasn't worth it to buy a freakin xbox. So... I don't get it. I never gave a hoot.. so why should you?

The majority of people have ps2 and x-box, and i dont think it was fair for the ps2 and xbox players who didnt get any extras and nintendo does. Half the people with ps2 and xbox dont even use online play. So what is the point of making GC with extras... for some reason i feel ripped off.

midway, if your reading this: thank you!

Midway if your reading this
-----------------------------------
WHY?

JRC15, if your reading this... respond to my last post with the question at the end. And for the millionth time... companies do this! They add extras to games that are coming out on later then another version.

Heh I've noticed a lot of MK fans like to make up "facts" like nintendo always made it difficult on midway or that mk has made more money than any other fighting game etc..
It's not the first time a mk game has had different characters on one system. Rain was on one version of mk 3 despite not even being in arcade of umk3. It's standard business practice as you can see by all the examples tossed around. You feel shafted because for the first time it happened in reverse. Game cube has to wait 6 months longer to get the game than anybody else. It's to be expected there will be more content if for no other reason than its been out for 6 months. If they add in a little extra they get a shot at double sales for the fanbois who buy the xbox/ps2 version and the GC version. They keep the GC fans interested despite knowledge of what the game lacks. Really though look at what they get khan and goro. Historically when those two have been playable they were not even full characters. They had tiny move lists even for mk and they were unbalanced. The odds would suggest they will be no different for the GC. It wouldn't shock me if they couldn't be thrown much like onaga can't and that alone will unbalance the system allowing them to sit and turtle. So you are upset that they will be getting characters that more likely than not will be broken and boring to play... okey

Oh well, I hope GC owners are happy.

We are, suckers!
Boo hoo hoo they don't deserve new characters because we don't have them boo hoo hoo.
Midway sucks they don't listen to their fans even though they are bringing it to Gamecube because of the fans even though it will prolly not sell half as much as PS2 boo hoo hoo.
Shut up already you ungreatful little leeches.

i'll be pissed of it doesnt get a pal release date

Me too, lol. I might get a Freeloader now though for this and RE4.

The thing disappointing with it is that it is postponed to march..:(

Yea that does suck. I think someone said something about owning both and Xbox and a Gamecube and got MKD for Xbox, and you think that it is unfair that GC has extras. You say that you don't wanna fork over another $50 for two characters, that is your own fault. If you really wanted some exclusives why would you buy MKD for Xbox when it was already announced that GC would have exclusives. I have a PS2 and a GC and I decided to wait for MKD because I knew that GC was going to have something better. Online versus exclusives, I'm not going to use online anyway so I'll take my chances w/ the exclusives.
It's plenty fair that GC get exclusives bc we have to wait 4-5 months for this game to come out. PS2 and Xbox have already mastered the game last month. You wanna talk about fair then lets take away MKD from everyone and let them wait as long as we have to so they can get their extra features. If you are a true MK fan (that has Ps2/Xbox & GC) then you can wait for the game like me, if you can't wait then dont complain about it bc that is your decision. Some people say that Midway doesn't listen to the fans, you're wrong. MKD has what people said MKDA needed. Death traps, at least two fatalities, classic characters: Kabal, Sindel, Ermac, Nightwolf, Baraka, Mileena. Hell even ninja Smoke and the secondary costume is close to it. They gave us all that and more. People are too picky, Midway is trying to please us all and to compensate (GC) for not just online play but also extra waiting.
Hey Dreamcast got exclusives like Sektor, Baraka, Kitana, Mileena, and Kung Lao, let's bash them. And wait, GBA got Sareena, Noob, and Sektor, damn let's bash them while we're at it. A true fan doesn't NEED to play as Kahn or Goro, but just to understand their part in the MK story.

everyones all like oh that is unfair, get a life and grow up they are in the game theres nothing we can really do about it, i for one am happy about the desicion since i have all 3 consoles
imagine the look when you reach onaga, shao kahn vs onaga that would be really cool, even goro vs onaga would be really cool, but since its
ed-boon i think they will make somone else as there boss
i do however think that onaga will be playable in this version, i dont know for sure but thats what i would do

I have Mortal Kombat Deception on the Playstation 2 and I am definitely happy with it. I remember when the GameCube version of the game wasn't even announced back in what August or so. I think its great that Nintendo GameCubers, who haven't yet the chance to play MK D are getting the game. It will be interesting to see how Shao Kahn and Goro fit into the mix because we all know that the stories around them would seriously be altered.
I do not plan to purchase MK D for the Gamecube. I won't buy a GameCube just for the game. I have MK D and I can't see myself spending numerous hours on Konquest again. Not saying that Konquest isn't fun but I just think its a one time deal.
Even though I don't plan to pick up the Cube version I cannot wait to see how the stories turn out and to hear what fans think of the cube version.
"I am Shao Kahn....BOW to me" GoD that would be sooo cool if they included Shao Kahns taunts. :)
