- Just as the title says, this version of MK3 for the Sega Genesis is nothing short of amazing. Watch as I destroy Shao Kahn in a battle to save the Earth Realm. Sleep soundly tonight knowing that he was defeated.
Enjoy! - Ігри
This is the version I grew up with. My Dad got it for me. I knew nothing about Mortal Kombat. Mom was upset because she thought it was too violent 🤣. Its still in my room somewhere. Kabal was my fav.
Your dad is the fkn man!
Same with me my dad got me a 6 button genesis and this. I must of played this non stop back in the day. Mom hated it
All mothers wants from us playing lee carvallo's putting challenge. But we want Bonestorm!!!

Thumbs up 👍 amazing reference and comment lol
@@ciuffoarancione8929 Buy me Bonestorm or go to hell!!
This was my version because I was a Sega kid in the 90’s. I remember getting this on release day in fall 1995 on the Genesis. I was so happy at the time to have a home version of this game. I remember UMK3 was released in arcades around this time but we all had to wait like several months to a year to get a home port of that. Good memories. Thank you for going through these old versions. The nostalgia is real!
It is impressively good. I am not surprised there are still people playing this version competitively in south america.
The Genesis could have handled speech in MK II. The issue was Probe/Acclaim cheeped out on the Genesis port of both MK and Mk II (and also MK II on Saturn). They made up for it with the Sega CD port of Mk, and the 32X release of MK 2. There are fan scene rom hacks now that put the audio back into the Genesis games.
Yea Saturn MK 2 could've been great. They used the internal sound chip, not cd audio which was weird- the input delay sucked, and the floaty inconsistent controls were not good for MK- the graphics looked phenomenal though and the computer opponent 100% of the time does a fatality
@@TheCooterpuppet
hashtag Probe port.
They were terrible at 16/32bit development.
Both the Genesis and the Snes versions were using 32 meg cartridges, a real improvement over the 24 meg cartridge used for MK2. Though, it REALLY sucks that the cemetery stage is missing from both the 16 bit ports...
Was going to say this , MK3 is 4MB and MK2 is 3MB
Before we owned the SNES version, we use to rent the Genesis version many times. The music on the SNES version was better, but this version does have its charm. Looking at this version now, I can say the animations and gameplay does look a bit more faster than the SNES version. Both were good back in the day.
I find the dial-a-combos lag on the Genesis version, I can input the entire string of one for a character, and it takes a bit longer for the animations to finish out.
God, I MISS the old 2-D Mortal Kombat games. I wish they would just get released as a Arcade-Perfect Collection. anybody else agree?
They have that on PS2, Game Cube, Xbox & Xbox 360 if you want to play arcade versions of MK 2 & 3...
Also have MK Arkade Kollection for Steam.
Look, and ye shall find.
Sculptured Software did this one instead Probe. Thats the reason why this version has all sound effects... it wasnt rushed too.
This was a pleasant surprise. As a genesis owner, I always felt we got the short end of the stick when it comes to MK ports. Graphic and sound limitations are one thing, but in other respects it seemed as if the programmers put less effort into the genesis ports.. Never understood why the first two MK games never had speech.
It’s definitely a great port and is on par with the SNES version if not better to be honest 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion the six button controller is what separates them. Mk without a six button is like playing mk on gameboy.
It's a shame Sculptured software didn't develop mk2 on the genesis also, probe were terrible. We'd have got something much closer to this I feel
Considering how much these games cost back in the day, it's almost criminal how the sega versions of MK1 and 2 weren't given the same attention to detail as the SNES versions were. MK3 was a great course correction in terms of not feeling like a cash in. Glad someone behind the scenes made the call to give them both to Sculptured. Great developer.
It was better by default. More stages, and better gameplay. Absolutely no contest now.
Quick End is the easy finisher option, it allows you to set any finisher to be easy toggle for example if you want to do an Animality and don't want to do the full input you could press the last input initiate and it will work for example Liu Kang's Animality is Down, Down, Up at sweep distance but by turning on Quick End for Animality you could just press Up while standing at sweep distance. If you set it to Fatality 1, you could perform Liu Kang's first fatality the Flame Engulf which was originally Forward, Forward, Down, Down, Low Kick by just simply pressing Low Kick. The Flame Engulf fatality could be perform anywhere just like the Arcade Drop.
Also the bosses could only be play in 2-Player mode and only one player could choose em, Williams Entertainment doesn't want player to cheat when playing the game by themselves so the bosses can't be play against the computer. When one player choose the boss the other player is lock-out from choosing the other one, if you win a match with a boss and try to attempt to go single player the game will just sent you back to the character selection screen.

Not true, from what i remember (played both 16bit MK3 versions back in the day), the limited boss select you're talking about was only true on the snes version where in VS mode only one player could choose a secret character (either bosses or smoke), i don't know if it was just a gimmick of the programmers or due to technical limitations of the snes (in the char. select screen, there was only one box dedicated to the three secret characters that was looping between the three).
In the genesis on the other hand, all secret chars had a dedicated select box (like shown on this video), thus making VS between bosses or between a boss and smoke possible.
For the quick end part, i didn't know how it worked back in the day, well it works differently than the snes easy finisher cheat in which each controller button is dedicated to a finisher. I think it was made this way because Genesis default controller had three buttons only.
Excellent tips and tricks posted there my friend thank you 👊🏼
@@anouarderdek I got the Sega Genesis version right now and I could confirm to you that playing in 2-player mode with them on, only one player could select a boss. If I pick Motaro, the other human player can't pick Shao Kahn even though his box is just right there. The only way to let both players pick both bosses at the same time could only be done through a Game Genie code. Picking bosses in the Super NES version was dumb too cause if one player pick one of the bosses then the other player can't pick Smoke as all three share the rotating box together and the rotating box stopped rotating once the cursor is lock to the player. Genesis version at least let both players pick Smoke and one of the bosses. In Ultimate MK3, the Genesis version suck even more cause you can't even pick both bosses this time, the cheat will only allow one boss to be enabled.
According to my girlfriend 'quick end' is permanently enabled for me
😂😂
sad but fun
I had the PS1 version at the time and never actually played the 16-bit versions.. I think the PS1 version was better than the arcade, so long as you weren't playing as Shang Tsung of course. 🤣
Trilogy was even better including long as you was playing as Shang Sung 😂
@@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106 😂 facts
I grew up on the Genesis ports of MK2 and MK3. My older cousin had the SNES version and I loved both. For years I never knew the cheat codes so the SNES was my favorite for the cheats and Genesis was my favorite to win play normally.
Awesome!!!i remember reading somewhere that they used a clever trick to fit all the music and sound fx,of course i don't know the technical details lol😂 but sure is impressive!!! it's also one of those games that i think the colour palette of the genesis actually compliments the game!!!great stuff buddy!!!i also have umk3 on the genesis and as far as i remember that one also plays really nicely!!!
Getting my partner to play MK 2 again, she said she used to play it as a kid here in Brazil!
Oh the memories back in the day playing this hours on end with my friends, brother and cousin.
The graphics on these games were amazing for the time.
Great memories 👊🏼 thanks for the comment
Genesis's worst flaw is the very limited number of colors it can display, no matter if the screen is not cropped like in the SNES or if it hasn't slowdowns, an emulator can take care of such things
Genesis can display unlimited number of colors and is the greatest thing in the galaxy.
@@user-ge2oh8nj5h Despite the Genesis could display more colors on-screen, it only had 64 color palettes which aren't enough to showcase much details in a game like MK3. It's 64 color palette was the reason why the Sega Genesis can't play Game Gear games even if an adapter for one existed unlike how Super NES could play Game Boy games via Super Game Boy. Game Gear despite being 8-Bit had 4,096 color palette whereas Genesis despite being 16-Bit only had 64 color palette. It make sense cause Genesis is 1988 hardware and Game Gear was 1990 hardware, there just wasn't enough color options for 16-Bit in 1988.
If you are going to play MK on an emulator just play the original arcade versions on mame, every other port is chopped some way or another...
@@GeomancerHT I mean it in general, I loved the Genesis as I owned one back in the day but I couldn't bear the less colors on screen for many games compared to the SNES ones growing up
@@VOAN what you are talking about ? The genesis never has a 64 color pallete .
The genesis pallete or total of colors are 512 or 1536 with the shadow highlight mode . The real limitation is the 61 colors on screen per frame . The genesis was very limited in color and sound not doubt but it is a 1988 hardware.
Nice playthrough man! I had this version when I was a kiddo and loved it! 👍
Makes you wonder, if Probe Entertainment wasn't the developer of MK2 for Sega, it probably would have done better. Sculptured did all of the SNES MKs and then took over for MK3 for Sega and you see the vast improvement there.
Probe did a very good job of porting MK1 and MK2 to the system, considering how little space on the cartridge they had to work with. MK3 on the Mega Drive was released on a 32 megabit cart, about four times larger than MK2. They had no chance of fitting all the content in such a small ROM, so a lot of cutbacks had to be made.
Mortal kombat 3 was all done in house thou Midway and Williams Entertainment but I do agree that Sculptured did a great job porting MK2 to SNES. it was the best one next to Playstation coming in 2nd. Which they did the port for MK2 themself. playstation keep it true to the arcade 1 to 1
MK2 wasn't an 8Mbit cart,@@rocznik83 .
It was 24Mbit, and the 32X version was even larger - 32Mbit IIRC.
Storage space was not the issue here. Probe simply were not attempting or able to deliver a faithful port. All of their 16-bit ports are seriously flawed, because they're happy to alter, cut and compromise in unacceptable places.
Their 8-bit Z-80 work is fantastic, however.
I like playing those old ports because as a 40+ year old man it makes me feel like a kid again in a way. Haha.
It’s the pure nostalgia bro, we all need that sometimes lol life was better in the 90’s
Too many people think that if it looks better is a better game. Genesis has the better gameplay. And anyway genesis had better resolution and more animation frames... Colours and details in static image are not the most important thing...
Resolution is the crutch for which gamers that suck try to justify themselves. Either version, just pick Cyrax, and net the opponent when they get close to sweep range, works every single time.
I think it looks more gritty the gen version more authentic like lots of its ports. Primal rage is better too
MK3 on Genesis was a great port. I know the game as a whole got a lot of hate but I loved it.
There is a hack called Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy for Sega Genesis. It's one of the best I've ever played.
There's been a couple hacks on several fighting games and the concensus is if the developers were given enough time the accuracy of the ports when compared to arcade versions could have been much better. The limitations we see are more time based instead of hardware based
I'll never forget begging for mercy as the bullies did a fatality on my character. After that, it was time for the actual, physical beatings on ME. The pain, the suffering they inflicted on not just my body, but my soul, the humility...never should one person have to suffer the way I did.
I remember pre-ordering this game back in the day. It was so good. They added so many voices, animation was great, and the names were in the life bars. I don't know why SNES took the names out of the life bars.
MK1: better on Genesis (SNES port looks and sounds great, but it plays with a weird lag), MK2: SNES (one of the best arcade to 16bit ports ever), MK3: SNES (looks and sounds better, gameplay is quite similar and good on both), UMK3: Genesis (more backgrounds, but gameplay is quite similar and good on both).
I really think the lag on thr SNES version is intentional so thay your character doesn't move when doing inputs for special moves. It sucks, but I think that's why it feels that way.
@@brandogg the most important thing is, they learned from their mistakes with MK1!
I grew up with all the MK games on genesis, keep up the awesome work. Your live streams are awesome as well, great stuff!
The Genesis had the better port. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but I believe the Genesis port was a 32 mb cartridge while the SNES only got a 24 mb cartridge. There is a hack for the SNES rom called UMK3 Deluxe which has all of tge missing stages and backgrounds that were removed from the SNES port.
Not sure where you are getting the SNES version of vanilla MK3 had less stages than the Genesis version. Both had the exact same amount of stages, both were missing the graveyard stage from the arcade original. I own both versions and confirmed long ago that they both have the exact same amount of stages as one another, and magazines pretty much back in the day pointed out that both were missing that graveyard stage.
@@Bloodreign1The floating lanterns were missing from Shao Kahn's Pit.
MK3 Ultimate on Megadrive was my favourite.
No. How is this even a comparison??
Love these console videos. I grew up playing MK in the arcade but most of my time was playing on the SNES/Genesis.
There we go. Such a step up from its MK2 counterpart. It also has more stages then the Snes.
Vanilla MK3? No, you are thinking UMK 3, both vanilla versions had the exact same stages, both missing the graveyard stage.
For MK3 I prefer Genesis, if only for the higher 320X224 resolution. The SNES 256X224 really hurts this game its really really soft. I was shocked because the SNES MK2 graphically slaughtered the Genesis MK2. For MK1 I slightly prefer Genesis to the SNES but I like some of the unique finishing moves from the SNES especially Raidens. The absolute best of the best for 16-bit Mortal Kombat is Mortal Kombat 2 on the SNES for the hardware it was about perfect and mindblowing at the time.
It’s for kids
I find resolution makes no difference in this, nor any game. Both still have cheesy AI, and Cyrax can pretty much cheese his way through every opponent except Motaro (immune to projectiles, including Cyrax's net) and Shao Kahn (who can be cheesed in his own way with Smoke's spear).
Sega Genesis was my first console (technically it was my dad's) and MK3 was one of the first games I ever played even though I was like 4 years old lmao
I always been impress with the genesis version of MK3 fun fact it was made by the snes developer sculptured software it was their first MK on genesis they have done a way better job then probe !!!
I remember being a kid and playing Genesis MK3 and saying “they really did the best they could with this one”
I remember when this came out on the Sega Genesis I was very pleased with this version a lot. At the time I had only played this & the Arcade Version. I didn't realize at the time that the arcade version was a lot better since both of these games played excellent. At the time I was more concerned about spending 50 cents each time I played Mortal Kombat at the arcades. I would spend like $20 a day just to beat this in the arcades.
So when I bought this back then for $80 for the Genesis version, I was like yeah I am just going to play it here & beat it here without spending any additional money on this game plus I have options in this that I can put it on an easier level to beat it with every said character to see their ending. Which in the arcade at the time I never did that because they had it set to probably normal or hard & I guess on hard because they wanted money.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the game, glad you enjoyed it back in the day 👊🏼
It helps to keep in mind that the Sega Channel was thing back when these games where being developed, so there was feedback from players before the games hit retail, which is why some of the stuff was so great.
I remember the SNES always having slightly better graphics (colors) and audio but I always felt they played better on Genesis. The controls just always felt sluggish and spongey on SNES whereas it felt quick and tight on Genesis and the same goes for other fighters like Street Fighter 2 and SNK games.
The genesis had a faster input polling rate then snes. Its noticible. I prefer sf2 on sega. Genesis was only second to turbo grafx which had zero polling cycles. Input went to the cpu first instead of waiting for memory bus or scanline operation. I ordered sf2 for it finally and am anxious to try it.
I still play SF2 on my Genesis from time to time. The graphics take a major hit, of course, but the gameplay is still dead on. There are original cabinets for both Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting near me so I can vouch based on those as well :)
Nah SNES version is better. Including controls
Mk trilogy on psx is definitely worth a play I still Owen it today on my PS2 😁,
Mk3 is my favorite mk game. I played this on the sega genesis the other day. Thanks for the entertaining videos!
Yep, this is an excellent version of MK3, especially when played with the Genesis 6 button Arcade Stick.
I was born in 1983. I was more of a Sega guy back in the 90's.
Hello! I from Eastern Europe.
Excellent game! 😊👍 I played it on my SNES and played on Sega Mega Drive 2 with my cousin. Both versions very very good! 👌 I like to play Sub-Zero and Cyrex, cousin like Kabal and Tsung. Kabal and Cyrex be best chose to beat Motaro.
MK3 be first MK game which I played, later in 1996 in «ГУМ» shop on centre of Moscow I saw Arcade machine MK2, and how I hear it be only arcade machine of this game in city and maybe in country. Every time when I been in «ГУМ» we go to what arcade but it be impossible to play, because big crowd be around this arcade and they all play one after other. And I go to have a good drive on Sega Daytona 500 arcade, where much grown up played, I be teenager and it be not easy to reach gas and break pedals for me, but I drive good 😊
Sorry, for my poor English. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
This game is great on the Genesis but even better on the Genesis Nomad back in the 90s!
The Genesis version looks like something between a NES bootleg version of MK3 and the actual SNES MK3 version. The graphics are poor but not NES/Master System poor.
First time watching this port, looks pretty clean :)
I used to suck bad at this game trying to learn it for the first time in 94. But I sure do miss these gaming years when we had no internet.
It was the most fun I ever had growing up finding secrets and codes for these games, looking forward to new gaming magazines coming out etc. the internet is awesome don’t get me wrong, but that time before internet when gaming was exciting and thrilling, it’ll never be that way ever again. Thank you for the comment 👊🏼
Darryl over here uploading before me 😂
JK love these... I still plan to do some though!
Not stepping on toes bro lol just doing what I do, playing the games 👊🏼
@@BushyStallion lol. I know man. I was joking around 😜
the sega version did have speech. Remember? TOASTY!! GET OVER HERE!!
Sega definitely had speech back from MK1. Every MK had speech
The music was fantastic on genesis 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Woof. It sounds awful to me
@@Metallizombieit’s an acquired taste but, a lot of old MK players were on Sega platforms.
@@Metallizombie you had to grow up with it man it man to appreciate it lol 😂
@@jaywalker3553 I did though 😂. Some games still stand up though musically. Especially Sonic the hedgehog.
"...subways quicker." 🤣🤣🤣
Kabal was my favorite. He had this awesome like 7 hit 30% combo. I think you could get it to 8 or 9 hits for like 40% but I wasn't that skilled haha.
Once Williams/Midway took the porting in house instead of using Probe, the conversions got a lot better. Just shows it wasn’t a hardware limitation on the Genesis, that made it look so much worse than the SNES variants. It was the dev team.
It definitely was the dev team, you see this is a lot of the older games. Thanks for the comments 👊🏼
SNES version better only due to the amazing work by Stacy. We will miss her.
I’ll never forget walking into my cousin’s birthday party after this had just come out and seeing The Subway. It blew my mind. I didn’t think the Genesis was capable of this.
Isnt the ultimate version or hacked ultimate mk3 better?
Depends on your preference. UMK3 plays different, and it’s even faster with jump in combos and more juggles.
On the SNES version, the cheat menus are called Kool Stuff, Kooler Stuff, and Scott’s Stuff. Interesting. I suppose that’s because it was developed by a different company. I grew up with the SNES version and I prefer its BGM over Sega, but still not a bad port. Thanks for the video!
I have Mortal Kombat 3 for Dos. it's been awhile since I played it. I wonder how it compares to this version.
Great upload bro. This version was definitely a step up from MK2 on Genesis. Controls are great, sound is "sega", Graphics are improved and honestly this looks better blown up than what i remember on the CRT TV. MK3, 6 button controller, Genesis = Not bad at all. 👍👊
Yeah dude I had no complaints playing this version.. except for Kintaro who is a HUGE pain in the butt on this one. Thanks for the comment PAX the MAN 👊🏼
55" looking nice. I'm getting my MKII on with a 65", Mame emulator, and Hori Fightstick. 2 much fun, thanks for the inspiration, keep the videos coming
I use a 55”, MAME, and a modified X-Arcade Tankstick.
Excellent! MK2 plays well on EVERY size and I need to play it in a literal movie theater to complete my life lol
Those tank sticks are AWESOME 👊🏼
I played the snes version back in the day at a friends house then ended up getting it myself for Sega, i was very disappointed when i found out it was the lesser version.
Funny thing about this version (and the Genesis UMK3 version as well... probably I already mentioned it on the UMK3 video) is the fact that it has a 2nd minigame in the form of Pong, it blew my mind to put a specific kombat kode one, having a message of a teaser of the next MK game and then out of nowhere... Pong time!!!
Darryl, I've seen most of your Mortal Kombat vids, awesome fun to watch, Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 were my very first MK games on the Sega Genesis and I couldn't stop playing them for months and this when I was 9 yrs old, and Mortal Kombat 3 on the Sega was fun, but unfortunately you can't play the boss characters in single player mode but only in two player mode, but the graphics, characters, and all and all this was a fun MK game in that system.
Vanilla MK3 on Sega better than SNES? Ehhhhhh Debatable.
UMK3 on Sega better than SNES?
YES!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I'm not quite familiar with the Sega Genesis port, I am mostly familiar with the SNES port. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on the Genesis that I am very familiar with. Great job and great video, it is always nice to see video games with the nostalgia value. I love the original timeline, but I also love the new current timeline. Thanks for uploading and making these videos
what people forget is the snes came out 2 years after the megadrive and what i hated about the snes was the slowdown as that made me feel ill yes it had more colours but it just messed me up still had good games though
I was very happy that sculptured software did this version instead of Probe. They would’ve just butchered it like they did with every single version of MK1 and 2.
i prefer snes version, sounds better and looks better.
Nice, I don't think I've played this version yet. You have to do the PS1 MK3 soon if you haven't already.
I first played MK3 on the Genesis, and I was shocked at how different it was than 1 and 2. I love it now, but at the time it was almost too weird lol
MK3 was different from the first two games but, in a good way. And all the ports on Genesis rocked!
this game, ultimate Mk3, and road rash(1&2) were the best games on genesis
often they would cut stuff like speech samples cuz printing on larger carts meant higher production costs.
These 2d versions of mk just never get old. Have you seen the editable versions for PC?
If you’re talking about MUGENS then I’ve seen those.
When we were in elementary we would play this and our friend let us barrow his version so we take turns every week, like that Simpsons episode of bart, we wanted the game so bad, then we go umk3 the following year
the memories i have of sitting in the living room floor at 7 yrs old kicking my dads butt over and over playing mk3 still brings a smirk to my face. i just sent this vid to him and hope he sees this comment just to rub it in one more time.😂💀 love you dad i’m ready for a rematch anytime.
The roof soumdtrack still goes hard on even on a genesis😍
Este fue el primer juego Original de Mortal Kombat que compre. Caja con booklet. En Argentina era dificil conseguirlo en los años 90. Mk1 fue el primer juego de mi sega genesis. Los mejores recuerdos! Sin duda alguna, MK2 fue el mejor de los 3... pero sega genesis no tuvo buena edición del mismo.
The main reason why the Genesis version is better than the SNES it's because you get to play it with the six button controller
The Snes is 6 buttons also.
I’d like to think it’s slightly faster with less lag as well 👊🏼
@@tonyp9313 yes, but the way Genesis lays it out is more arcade like and easier than tapping triggers

If anyone owns the original PlayStation 1 Mortal Kombat 3 game it's worth money 💰🤑 rn
I had the original with the long case they used to put them in. But of course like many other great games my older brother took them and sold them a long time ago. Maybe one day again I’ll have it, it was a great version minus the loading time. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
You doing a PlayStation review?
I don’t have a copy of the PS1 version anymore, if I can find one for a decent price I will. I played the PS1 version many times growing up, other then the load times it was AWESOME 👊🏼
In my experience, when somebody says "I'm not going to lie" usually means they are about to lie.
Those crunchy voice samples bring back memories.
“Crunchy” 😂
I did not know this came out ok genesis. Just starting the vid can’t wait for this one!
As someone who had the Megadrice (as the Genesis is called in Europe) in the 1990s and had MK1 and 2 on it, this is a much better conversion regarding the sound than they were. MK1 and 2 only had a few speech samples.
This was a very impressive version. I recall i used to thing there was some hardware limitation on Genesis that prevented it from having the narrator voices so i was very excited when this version had it all.
In my opinion, MK I was better on the Genesis (mainly because the SNES version didnt play well with input lag), MK 2 was better on the SNES and 3 was very balanced on both systems.
The SNES version of MK3 looked better overall but I think the Genesis version player a bit better and had better voice recordings (Shiva had her own voice whereas she sounded like Sonya on the SNES version.
Both versions were punching above their weight and were not perfect (sound was muffled on the SNES version, voices were a bit raspy on the Genesis version).
UMK 3 shouldnt have been released on any 16 bits console, but that game inherently stunk (felt like a patch to MK3 before you could have DLCs).
Can you do MK Trilogy again? I actually enjoyed that one and, if you can, do a comparison between N64 and PS1. I think they should remaster that game or re-release it!
It’s hard to find a copy of the PS1 version around here for a decent price. If I do manage to get one I will definitely review and play through it 👊🏼
Gameplay over graphics, all day every day.
Good thing the Genesis version's graphics also rocked, on top of the Great gameplay.
Quick end is pretty much one button fatalities
There was definitely speech in MK2 on Genesis, but a lot of phrases were missing, like Shao Khan only said "You will die!" (omitting the "mortal" at the end, and tons of other phrases found in other versions).
Bosses was for 2 player games only. You could use a 3 button controller but it was awkward, A was LP, A+B was HP, B was Block, Start was Run, B+C was HK and C was LK
Bosses are only for PVP sadly. Also there is another secret thing, when you press A+B+C+Start in the main menu (if i remember).
No bones during fatality, no talk during friendship, no talk during animality - but they are all not a big deal! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What was the input for Cyrax's helicopter fatality?? I think it was ,,Down Down Down Up Down HP,, if I remember correctly? 🤔
I give you a sub I like your contents!
I didn't played original MK3 on Sega back in the days only updated version, which is UMK3. And I heard a lot about original MK3 from one of my friends, who was obsessed with Sheeva. Cause he never shut up about her every time we were talking about, let's say how to play the game better. Like, we were talking, I was saying something like "we should do this, and not this, and only then we can defeat bosses" and he be like "Yeah? Well, and if we had Sheeva..." and from there he was all about Sheeva every single time. And since I didn't know what Sheeva was like in MK3 and, like I said, because I never played MK3, I was always scratching my head thinking "WTF is so special about that Sheeva?". And then fast forward years after that, when I got introduced to emulation, I decided to try those games out via emulator on my PC hat I skipped. And first things first I tried MK3. I played as all of the characters, including Sheeva and I finally got to understand why my friend were never shut up about her. Because of her stomp and her jumping landing teleport attack when she stomps on you. Cause, it might not work well against Motaro, but it works well against Shao Kahn if you know what you are doing. But then again, I didn't liked original MK3 that much because, I played UMK3 on Sega and it had more characters and cool stuff than simple MK3. Sure, it doesn't have Sheeva, but instead it has two exclusive characters, which is Rain and Noob Saibot. So yeah, I like UMK3 more than original MK3.
Also, you can play as bosses in MK3 ONLY in two players mode. Like when you are fighting player vs player. But you can't play as them in arcade mode. But, if you want to play as bosses in actual arcade mode then there is many hacks for UMK3, that turns it in to freaking mugen game basically. It adds crap tons of characters, including some fan made ones, like Hydro for example or Cyber Sub-Zero. Heck even Quan Chi is there. So yeah, that's that.
p.s - Also I know, not personally, one guys on UA-cam, that calls Sektor and Cyrax a Se%toy and Tampax. And it's funny when you think about it 🤣
You're wrong about the Mortal Kombat II not being able to handle speech. It was developer Probe that made an inferior port. They wanted people to buy a 32X for their Genesis and play a near perfect arcade port. That's why Sega fired them for Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate 3. Using Sculptured Software, like SNES did for all their ports, was the better developer for the job.
I dread to think how many hours I spent playing this and never getting good at it
