Mortal Kombat II Hits Store Tomorrow

[BrewCityUpstart]

We knew it was coming, but we didn't have any of the details. Well, now we do.

Sony has finally come forth with the official announcement and information concerning the release of Mortal Kombat II for the PlayStation Store. According to Totally PS3, the classic arcade hit will be available on April 12 (that's tomorrow, folks) and retail for $4.99.

You'll be able to play as any one of twelve characters and move forth to unlock more hidden characters and opponents. Ten "unique" levels are prepared for your fighting pleasure, which leads us to believe they may feature revamped or retooled visuals. Fans can also jump online to play, and see how they stack up against the world's best (just make sure you're schooled in the MK arts, young grasshoppers). And of course, one of the mainstays of the franchise will be on full display: the finishing moves known as Fatalities, Friendships, or Babalities.

Yes indeed, Mortal Kombat is back, and we get to relive it in all its original glory!

From ps3blog.net-

"I’ve read much excitement about this release on various forums. Can someone explain this to me?

The Midway Arcade Treasures 2 disc had this game as well as Mortal Kombat 3 and eighteen other games (I’ve remember most of them) as well as all kinds of extra bonus pics and interviews and goodies. That disc cost $20 when it originally came out and I’m sure it’s much cheaper now. That compilation disc seems to be a far better deal than this PlayStation Network release.

Who cares about this release when this game has been readily available for many years for dirt cheap prices on a variety of platforms?

I think many people just like the theatrical release aspect of it. Few people really feel like digging through a bargain bin and buying this for $5 or downloading a PC ROM and playing by themselves. But, when a game like this is released on the Playstation Network or XBLA, it makes lots of headlines, and gets lots of people talking about it. And if nothing else, content like this pads the release schedule. "
