Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection Makes Us Feel Old
See Full ImageThat reboot turned out well, didn't it? But doesn't it make you even more nostalgic for the good ol' arcade days?
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection, coming soon to the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and PC. This is the original trilogy: Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. It's being developed by Other Ocean in conjunction with NetherRealm Studio, and it'll feature online play, leaderboards, achievements and trophies. Said Ed Boon NetherRealm Creative Director:
"We are very excited to finally have the first three Mortal Kombat games available in one download package for long-time and new fans to play. With the release of our 2011 Mortal Kombat, and its return to 2D game play, players have been asking for these classic titles and we are happy to deliver them."
This "arcade-perfect port" will be available this summer and cost $9.99 on the PSN (or 800 Microsoft Points on Live). On top of which, just so we can get the authentic feel of the arcade, GameStop will offer an exclusive limited run of the new Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick, designed by Performance Designed Products (PDP). This will come bundled with a download code for the Arcade Kollection, so you'll be all set to go. If you're a hardcore fighter fan, you'll pre-order this package, which will hold a price tag of $129.99.
Anybody else remember when a parent who thought all arcades were just bouncy and colorful finally saw MK? Remember that horrified expression? ...it was funny.

Unlike many..my mom didn't care what I played not even MK. She knew I was responsible enough to handle it.

i have mk2 on ps3 already but i will buy this for sure. i loved ultimate mk3, one of my most played sega games when i was younger. i just played the new mortal kombat last night when a buddy brought it over. i liked it and it made me feel like i was playing these old school ones just with the graphics that i actually want to see. i will for sure pick this up and look forward to umk3 again.
with the new games they have refound the formula that will make this new ones just as great as these old ones.

The many many days my friends and I spent at the arcade solely for MK games will always be some of the best ever.

The greatest day out of those 365 during 1993 was when my local arcade unleashed Mortal Kombat II. After all the heads and spines ripped out from the first game, it was great to bring a whole new level of humiliation to your opponent by performing a little Friendship or Babality. :)

The HD Kollection uses new actors and already began filming months ago.

Not being able to beat my son on any version does.
Anyways, being a 37 year old gamer is all good in my book.

$10 sounds great, but that fighting stick sounds outrageously over priced.

MK really shocked us all. I still remember the SF / MK rivalry.

I remember the olden days of playing my first 2 MK's, Mythologies-Sub Zero on my N64, and MK 3 on my Genesis, & still have both.
Plus, a bunch of other MK's for other systems too: Deadly Alliance(xbox), MK3, MK4, MK Trilogy, MK Myth-Sub Zero(PSX), & another MK Deadly Alliance on my PS2.

These are Arcade Ports, right? I don't want anything else but Arcade. Mortal Kombat II is (for Me) the BEST MK ever made. I know, it's on the PSN already but, for some reason, i haven't buy it yet. Now, this is a REASON to buy it.

I was wrong. I was forced to play it only at my friends house. :'(
