Mortal Kombat DLC Characters Revealed

VG247: "Mortal Kombat developer Netherrealm Studios has confirmed the first DLC characters planned for its upcoming 2011 reboot.

The developer told CVG in a recent interview that it doesn't want MK 2011's add-on content to be limited to simple costume or stage additions - and the new characters it's working on will have "all the good stuff."

[Dart89]

Wow DLC as long as people are playing this game put them at great price and i'll support you guys all the way.

[Gen0ne]

Yes...

[iPlayGamez]

i wouldnt mind supporting them if this wasnt another case of developers charging you money to acess content already on the disc. in fact, you can already fight kintaro in the 300 challenge tower. and he was shown a month and a half ago.

[darthv72]

kratos was available as dlc for the 360 version. Not entirely impossible but pretty much improbable. Sony wouldnt let that happen unless they could make some big $$$$ off of it.

There is potential there but aint gonna happen.

[Commander_TK]

No, not this again.

[Perjoss]

already?, I think I'm just going to wait for the GOTY bundle with all DLC included.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

At least DLC's and I'm sure the Devs are not thinking about ''Super Mortal Kombat'' or ''Mortal Kombat Gold Edition'' or ''Mortal Kombat Super HD Remix blah blah''
*looking at you Capcom*.

[v1c1ous]

they weren't thinking of that, but i bet you they were thinking of making extra cash on DLC and the game hasn't even officially released yet.

[Sam Fisher]

@ v1c1ous, they need to make money some how, i mean they earned it. they worked hard, and still are. the least you can do is give them a donation to their hard work

[Soldierone]

@Vicious....They have a crap ton of characters in the game as is. The DLC is literally adding extra characters to the list. Its not like they are missing KEY CHARACTERS from the game, and add them later in a Super Mortal Kombat HD Deluxe II....

Looking at you Capcom again....

[gam3fr33k]

@ Soldierone

Which key characters was left out of Street Fighter 4 exactly?

[ian72]

@Sam Fisher,
@ v1c1ous, they need to make money some how, i mean they earned it. they worked hard, and still are. the least you can do is give them a donation to their hard work

Isn't buying the game at full price a big enough donation for their hard work. I hate all this DLC now. They make enough money from the game as it is.

[BlackTar187]

yea which key character were left out?
I hate DLC milking but if they release for $1-$2 a character maybe i will buy some .

wheres the guy who says hey $50 for a DLC character is a good deal.

[RedDead]

Please stop trying to defend them for this....I'm getting the gamw and all. But this is an obvious. "If you want these cool extra characters ya gotta pay extra. We want more money." That's all it is and it is common enough these days, doesn't make it right, and no way inhell will I be buying these Dlc chars, I just don't want to support that type of crap, same with Res evil 5 multiplayer

[the_best_player]

I found that the mortal kombat 9 controls were unresponsive/sluggish compared to the faster pace gameplay Tekken 6 has. I also think the move list was weak e.g. about 20 moves each character compared to tekken 6, 80 moves min and higher each. (Limits me as a player)

[fluffydelusions]

At least they aren't on disk already. Give them a reasonable price and I may buy them.

[Gen0ne]

... and yes.

[kaveti6616]

As someone above said, one of the DLC characters is in the game as someone you fight.

Kintaro?

That means that the publishers are forcing consumers to pay for things that are on the disc.

I'm not blaming the developers because I think it's usually the publisher who makes these types of decisions.

[thats_just_prime]

"Kintaro?

That means that the publishers are forcing consumers to pay for things that are on the disc."

That not 100% true the model and some moves are there but there is more work that has to be done to be able to play Kintaro. He's finisher, moves have to be assigned to controller input. I also not think he has an Xray move on the game right now (I havent seen it yet) So they are still doin extra work to make him playable

[Modestmex]

Now they need to throw some new fatalities on the dlc.

[Kon]

Here it is the DLC crap all over again... Why not include all the fighters in the disk? I'm sure they aren't like 2GB.

[Blad3star]

When you get dish you have to pay extra for Pay-per-view

When you go to the strip club you have to pay extra to get some booty

When you go to watch a Football game you have to pay extra to drink some beer

When you buy a pizza you have to pay extra for more toppings

Its called business and its NO.1 objective is to make money.

Edit: @ Black Tar - Is some one holding a gun to your head to buy the DLC? X company gives you a game with content that they feel is worth $60, if you buy the game then you obviously thought it was worth the $60. You and I don't know how much time and money is spent on making and marketing a game and the developers aren't obligated to add more stuff to the game then what they feel is worth it.

[BlackTar187]

wow you ever so happy to pay for the extra DLC that is announced before the game.

Im all for DLC but im not gonna sit here and try and justify it to anyone.

[swishersweets20031]

Kintaro i would want to get but scarlet and kenshi not something i'd want enless they come with a stage.

[jay2]

I hate DLC so much :( and it made me laugh seeing we have to pay money to get a charater that was created by a glitch in the first place.

[Gen0ne]

I like the one male, one female thing. Round out the roster. Now gimme Motaro and Li Mei. Then Rain and Frost.

[TheRacingX]

Rain & Frost... YES!!! 2 Faves for sure

[Stryfeno2]

Man I need Bo' Rai Cho A.S.A.P please.

[Captain Qwark 9]

havik, rain, motaro with 4 legs*

[Der_Kommandant]

I'll support this amazing game

[nevin1]

Scarlet was designed by a glitch? lol

[Der_Kommandant]

BTW

What happens if you used Helios head on Kenshi? :D

[BiggCMan]

Hahahaha!!!

[Zancruz]

Well I knew the game was gonna have DLC, But this is rediculous that they will be talking about DLC and the game isn't even out yet! Now they got me thinking I should just wait for a Game Of The Year Edition of the game and not buy it tomorrow.... :/

[TheRealist2102]

I will be waiting for either a goty edition or a price drop to 35 or lower. Most games aren't worth $60+

[Zancruz]

I so agree with you. Most games aren't worth $60 and the DLC is worth less than what these companies charge. But I do think this new Mortal Kombat is worth $60 just because of all the content that's in the game, More content means more replay value and that means i'll be played it longer than a week....

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Geez, didn't know MK have Online Pass.

Good thing I have a friend in Blockbuster gave me code.

[SeraphimBlade]

test your might
test your might
test your might
MIKROPAYMEEEEENTS!

[Pl4ybwoi]

@Sam Fisher: so you think that they will not earn their money charging 60$ a piece, start calculating 60$ by a million cause i'm sure that they'll sell at least a million and then tell me if they will not benefit from their work, one thing is getting paid for your work and the other is getting greedy and trying to get too much for something that could have cost the same.

[Ares84]

I'm not buying DLC for any game what so ever. I had enough of this bullshit.

Include the characters on launch. I won't spend money on things that should have been in the game to begin with.

[Foxgod]

This game is jampacked with content, if theres any game that deserves DLC, then its MK9.

Hopefully we keep getting new characters for years to come.
Il buy all the DLC they make for this game!

[Pl4ybwoi]

This DLC sh*t is killing me, the GM hasn't even come out yet and they are already talking about DLC? They wanna tell me that those characters could not be added to the disc instead of trying to make some xtra money with dlc, companies are getting too greedy working trying to get get xtra cash for less work, i'm sure those characters were already done before the GM was printed out on disc, but nooo, why not make some xtra money on stupid gamers (including myself) that are always allowing this companies to do whatever they want with us, c'mon, DLC use to come out 2-3 month after the game came out and now we are talking DLC before it come out, please greedy companies i beg of you, stop stealing money legaly!!

[BeckyLikesChocolate]

...because $60 isn't enough

[_Empath_]

They deserve every single penny. Game is phenomenal.

[Bounkass]

/care

[ElementX]

The best part of the game so far is trying out all the fatalities against Kratos, I can't stand that guy.

[Foxgod]

I tho the best part is that Quan chi and Kratos finally meet up, and find out that one of the two is going to need a different look.

[Foxgod]

Hopefully they will keep adding loads of characters in the coming years.

I would love to see another female shokan added, Sheeva is hot :)
Perhaps a female one with 6 arms, Shokans are supposed to have 4 to 6 arms, but there hasnt been a single 6 armed shokan in the game series yet.
And perhaps a 30 year old Shujinko, instead of the old version.

And a bunch of returning characters like Rain, Li mei and Tanya.

[unknownhero1123]

I mostly agreee with you but wasn't shujinko already an old man by the first MK tournament(the one with liu kang, not kung lao)
