Rip Some Spines in MK Arcade Kollection

It's just like the arcade, except without the nacho cheese encrusted fight stick.

MOOOOORTAL KOOOMBAAAAT!

I think I'm going to stick to the new MK, though. These old games are great, but... they're old.

I'm still conflicted on this. MK9 is really good, but I might pick up the fight stick from GameStop that comes with a download code for the game.

Since MK9 came out, I don't feel a strong need to play the older MKs. It's not like Street Fighter 3rd Strike where the game still holds up and plays well compared to SF4; the early MK games were a bit of a mess to play. UMK3 might still be worth it, but again, MK9 fills that need quite nicely.

This QFT. I wish it had come out before MK9, then I would have picked it up no bother. However, anytime I want MK action now, 9 is enough for me. Shame though, looks like a great package.

The time to release this was a month or two before the release of MK9. Oops.

Tempting but I still need to get back into MK9. I took some time to play LA Noire but I really want to see what they are going to do next.

If this uses the same netcode as MK9 then I'm not buying this.

Also going to chime in with the "MK9 is too good to warrant purchasing this" sentiment.
 
Definitely would have eaten this up a month or so before 9, though.

I probably can't play these after MK9 and I've never even played these! MK9 just plays too well.

Won't be picking these up as the current MK is the only one worth playing now. Good Package if you want some very old skool MK.

1992... It hasn't even been 19 years since MK1; so, doesn't saying "decades," plural, seem a bit disingenuous?

Interesting, though unless they plan to include multiple versions of each game, this seems like an overenthusiastic way to finally release MK1. Love me some MK, but I don't want MK1 that badly.

If the versions of MK2 and UMK3 in this package are leagues better than their original digital releases, than that's cool...

But I was much more excited for this when it was rumored to be an HD remix, with new digitized actors. I would've at least liked it if they included Rain and Noob from the console versions of UMK3 (their playable debut wasn't in Trilogy, contrary to popular belief).

But, hey, I'll still get it, if they fixed all the stupid crap from the original PSN/XBLA versions. It's 10 bucks!

I kept waiting for this trailer to segue in to a full blown Mortal Kombat "making-of" documentary. What a let down!

They're counting it like this: 90s, 00s, 10s. Three decades. You guys are hilarious.
