The name suggests that the game's something special, something in-depth, something all-encompassing, what with "ultimate" in the title. In reality Ultimate Mortal Kombat is simply a truncation of the title "Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3," the version of the arcade game that capped off the fighting series' use of 2D gameplay mechanics and digitized actors. It's not the "ultimate" in Mortal Kombat by any means - that arguably could go to the 1996 mash-up release of Mortal Kombat Trilogy. But this is an arcade emulation of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the Nintendo DS, and a really good one. To spice things up, the company also converted the satirical puzzle game Puzzle Kombat created for Mortal Kombat Deception, and then went one step further and made all versions fully playable over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Not "ultimate" by any means, but certainly worthwhile.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Handheld fighting games used to blow, big time. Systems like the Game Boy and Game Gear lacked the processing muscle (and buttons, for that matter) to handle arcade hits like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II, yet publishers insisted on shoehorning these games onto every available platform, regardless of quality.
Ive just got a 3ds and got street fighter 3D with it and think it works very well on the 3ds looks very good esp in 3d and I like the jump in and out online 2player mode it works as well as it did on my 360. To me I think there is a change in fighting games I think they will start to find a home on the 3ds and ndp and be played less and less on home concepts because of the way the industry has gone last gen and gen before fighting games were massive where this gen they font seem to be ad big but I think it couldbe on portable having with online 2player.
"Kitana: In 2008 GamesRadar placed Kitana among "Top 20 Overlooked Game Babes", and UGO Networks ranked her as #28 in their "Top 50 Videogame Hotties" article, stating "Kitana has her curves in all the right places, and her signature fans will keep you cool when things start to heat up."
Mileena: UGO Networks ranked Mileena #5 on their list of top 11 Mortal Kombat characters, citing her presence as an evil female player character as a rarity, as they were a taboo in video games at that time, while her brutal attacks, revealing outfits and slutty attitude made her a fan favorite.
Jade: Jade first appears in MKII as a hidden character who randomly appears onscreen with clues on how to locate her. She was a green palette swap of Kitana and she did not become playable until UMK3 in which her backstory was as a fellow Edenian and childhood friend of Kitana."
Where the hell was that Jade chick when I went to the Anime Expo in LA earlier this year?
Have you ever imagined what it would be like if your favorite video game characters grew up and went to school together? PWN or DIE has, and the way they picture it is much like their own experiences growing up. There would be pep rallies and proms, jocks and nerds, and of course yearbooks.
