Why Mortal Kombat 3 Actually Sucked

In 1995 Mortal Kombat 3 exploded in the arcades and homes around the world. Not only did it feature the largest promotional campaign for a fighting video game, but it also introduced the hairy Animalities, the beloved combo system, the ability to run at opponents, as well as Kombat Kodes—which hardly anyone knew how to use at the time. So what went wrong?

MK3 Ultimate on SNES is my 2nd favorite in the series after Trilogy on N64

eddieistheillest1466d ago

trilogy on N64 is the GOAT of mk games.

hanko141466d ago

mk3 on snes only had one problem that everybody should know(unless you werent from that generation).

pc version of trilogy was way better, you could as every character from mk1 to ultimate mk3 it was so awesome. dont know why the n64 didnt have every character,

Nothing went wrong. It did well. Sold well and gamers learned how to play it just like they learned how to play SF.

Was this person born when the game released or a look back on something they weren't good at playing?

Same thing I was thinking. I had MK3 Ultimate on SNES, and it was great. The only bad, but extremely minor, gripe that I had was that it deviated from the digitized models of the previous games.

Ninjas were missing and Ultimate MK 3 fixed that

Played on the pc at the time. It was good.

I liked it on the Playstation. Hated versing Montaro in the arcade mode though, I'm sure he was harder than the actual final boss, Shao Kahn

I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .

djl3485865d ago

You must be talking about Captain Commando and no it's not cheap...going for about $130.

I'm surprised Illusion of Gaia doesn't cost more

Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.

I imagine restoration work on retro consoles is going to become much more important as the years wear on. Sure, hundreds of thousands of certain consoles were made, but fewer exist every year.

Depends on the console a SNES for sure needs retrobrite the plastic grows brittle and literally falls apart same with the NES. A White Dreamcast also needs retrobrite if I remember right the TG16 needs new capacitors it suffers the same issue as the Game Gear. Most of the old handhelds need new screens since they fail with age my Game Gear had new capacitors put in and a McWill mod done to it. The NES needs the lock out chip disabled when the power light turns on and off maybe throw in a new 72pin as well. Sega Master System has an issue blowing out the 7805 voltage regulator. OG Xbox depending on the board revision needs a clock capacitor removed or it leaks and fries the board. N64 controller needs a new thumbstick Sega Genesis model 2 suffers from the solder around the power supply is prone to cracking hence the system will not power up. Sega CD model 1 the laser dies fast model 2 the rubber feet supporting the drive fail and the model is know to throw the pico fuse so it dies fast as well.

It also depends how you treat the system also I baby my shit. I don't throw it around like a football the systems I see that might need the most help going through the years are the ones that use lasers and discs. I know some systems have problems due to how they were built as well like again certain board revisions of an OG Xbox and the Game Gear. I have bought broken systems and picked them for parts. I actually enjoy fixing older systems it's relaxing and a great way to teach yourself new skills.

Too bad the game still plays extremely stiff and unnatural. Also seems like they fast-forward the attack animations compared to the motion capture and it always looks bad and lazy.

Maybe they are trying to keep it true to the original look during snes era but it is hideous
