yea the other ones dont count, try umk3 (or even trilogy). its going to take a lot for mk9 to surpass umk3 in pure hype
I loved MKII.
I did too, spend hundreds of dollars, MADE hundreds of dollars…but the game just isnt that fun. its slow and dull, more like chess. UMk3 is hella fast, mind games, etc. Its just superior.
FIne you like MK2 more, but UMK3 is better, period.
PS- MKII is still my most favorite game ever, for nostalgia reasons, fyi
Scans!

From Xbox World (September issue):
Yeah; nostalgia is almost all it has going for it.
^^^ get out troll.
… and that second article was horrible. Clearly the reviewer had no idea what he’s talking about… and on top of that, didn’t even interview Boon and co.
A few tid bits Gamasutra - News - Mortal Kombat’s Boon: Hardcore Reputation Hinders Sales In Fighting Game Genre
LOL. I’m no troll. I haven’t been bashing the games much up until now. I’ve been posting since this thing started. The post you responded to was in response to this:
All that stuff I said about old school MK was true (minus UMK3). I have more faith that MK2011 will be, at least, great for the MK series, since the games (minus UMK3) sucked more than nostalgia would let some believe. Take it or leave it.
Goodshit Tim, nice find.
Fuck both of those articles though 
It baffles me though that the second article is really just going off of the fucking trailer. Netherrealms sent them all these fancy pants scans and character art for Kahn, but no gameplay footage other than the trailer?
That’s pretty fucking stupid.
Can’t agree more. How are they even allowed to publish shit like that??
Also… this really got me: “While it’s unlikely that Mortal Kombat will ever reclaim it’s place at the table of top-drawer fighters - looking back, we’re not sure it ever had the right to be there in the first place, to be honest - this should at least provide the gore-inclined with a bloody laugh / gurgle or three.”
Wtf???
I hated the xbox world article, but the hyper article was at least optimistic.
what’s wrong with Chess?
This Lie Mie dude must be from Pluto or something.

2D > 3D
Whats the MK Podcast?? Is MK going to be at Comic-Con? Need new info!
Definitely looking to be the best in the series. And for a new generation fighter, thats some good shit on Boons Part.
Im loving the Ex moves that opens up mad combo potential. And johnny Cage is still a Dick.
Hasnt Raiden given up his immortality like a trillion times already in order to compete in Mortal Kombat?
Yeah but did they have the kool Reptile klues? I don’t think so.
btw, weird question about MK1, I’m seeing Reptile killing people in youtube videos, and its seeming like most of them are hacked but someone(nicksolo) is insisting that reptile could kill you with either Sub-Zero’s head rip or Scorpion’s toasty if he beat you, can anyone confirm that? >_>
probably gonna dust off my MK1 cartridge and try to finally find that bastard with all this hype
GAH ! All the new stuff is basically the same thing , but showed/told in a different manner.
I WANT REAL NEWS.
New Game Informer shows Kitana. Will see it tomorrow
