Touch The Screen, Remove His Head

Most of the time I'd be pretty chill about harmless dumb stuff and call it awesome but that just got to me for some reason.

These minigame gimmicks are what killed MK in the first place. Thankfully its just adding to a completed game.

To be clear it is "Detroit USA" not "Detroit MI"... Oh Japan!

So this Mortal Combat has Fruit Ninja build in

That's what Mortal Kombat was missing touch screen mini-games.

Fighters are not meant to have touch controls

Eh?

man, that is A LOT of touchy mini games... I really hope there's a mode where I can just beat up dudes and not fiddle with the touch screen every 3 seconds. Oh please include a "classic fighting only" option :/

@Slaneesh: MORE LIKE "BRUTE NINJA"!

....

....

*cricket cricket*

my bad.

Not that I think that touch controls bring anything particularly interesting to the table, but if there's one fighting game where dumb-ass minigames, touch or not, are a perfect fit, that's MK.

I mean, if I was fine with a fight in which two ninjas threw limbs at each other, OF COURSE I think Mortal Kombat spoofing a game called "Fruit Ninja" is a great idea.

I'm looking forward to playing this on the Vita. Especially after Mr Boone said, via Twitter, that this version will have everything from the Complete Edition and then some. I'm assuming the then some is the Mini Games, but I am okay with that.

A lot of that was challenge tower rounds they added for Vita specifically. As far as I've seen, none of these touch controls are in the main game (except some fatalities I think).

You will obviously be able to play without the touch controls... I think this looks like a nice little package. If it plays at a solid 60 I'm sold!

Seems like the texture quality in this Vita version has been severely compromised at the expense of the 60fps. I've heard Nether Realms optimization on this is pretty bad due to the lack of utilizing a certain rendering pipeline on the Vita, but I don't know anything about that stuff. I'm definitely waiting until it's actually tho and a few people comment on it before I decide whether or not to pick it up.

what about all those other awesome things that they made

They should change Flawless Victory to Touchless Victory right guys ... Riiiiight??!!

Yeah .

German suplex? German suplex!

That looks strangely uncolorful.

That certainly could look better

@fazzle: and how do you know the game is ruined?? Calm down, you haven't even seen enough to judge, so don't make baseless accusations
