I agree about the freddy thing. He cant be the only thing holding back a re release because if that was the case then the original trilogy and the 3D games would have had multiple re releases
Thats what Im saying. If freddy was such an issue, just put a statement on the steam page that the license is expired for new purchases. There has to be more to this.
I am playing MK9 and actually you are right, I don't have a need as a customer to buy MKX or MK11 or MK12, because I feel that I have everything I wanted in Mortal Kombat 9, they outdid themselves with the game
Games aren't like movies in this regard. And almost everyone repeats what you said but physical games are just not a thing, man. There's so much data added online, day one or before even, that it really doesn't matter if you buy a physical game today. Hell, sometimes they don't even give you a game in collectors editions. You get a hard case like there's a game but in the discs place is a code for digital. Older games notwithstanding obviously. We're talking about modern games though.
@@intellectic9155 true and valid point, but not all publishers are like the greedy ones like we have known. I still have my Xbox 360 and can play games offline as for what fate has said about WB patching the dlc character out, I can play it without the patches. I know digital is the shit future for entertainment and all because we've gotten used to it.
@@intellectic9155 true but komplete edition exists. On PC, now that's a real problem, because more often than not the box only contains a download code.
I will give you my thoughts on why they removed MK9 and MK Arcade Kollection from everywhere. And I believe that, they removed MK9 because they saw that modern agenda is about to hit. They saw that they gonna make new games, that will appeal to modern agenda and identity politics and they decided to remove it to not offend those snowflakes. But that is not the only reason, in my opinion. Another one of the reasons is in the fact that, they knew that they gonna hit with microtransactions and stuff like that. And since they needed to push their new games, despite how bad they were, they had to sell those games. And since MK9 was on the way of the new games, and since they knew that MK9 is the perfect modern MK game, that appeals to their OG audience, they had to remove it, so that it doesn't get in the way of selling new games. Same with MK Arcade Kollection. But for the MK Arcade Kollection it was not just about the fact that it could get in the way of the sales of new games, but also in the fact of the quality. Because, before that Arcade Kollection were a thing, it supposed to be a remastered game, with HD graphics, that contained all 3 arcade games. But they scrapped that idea cause they were not sure if it sell and make money or not. And so they just decided to re release OG arcade games but with their own UI. But in the end, the release of it was so bad that nobody could play it. Like, I remember that you could not even get online because it simply didn't worked. Especially on PC back then. And so yeah, MK Arcade Kollection only sold in first months only on consoles after it's release, but further down the line the sales started to drop, and so they decided to took down MK Arcade Kollection simply because it wasn't making any money for them. Cause ultimately, for companies like WB, all this stuff is just a business. They don't care about you or me and what we want. All they care about is making money to become rich and buy whatever they want. So yeah, that is what happened with MK9 and MK Arcade Kollection in my opinion, and that is why they were taken down. Luckily for us, there is certain resources where you still can get those games for free. Because, if you can't buy it then what is the other point of getting those games? You may say that you can buy those games on some third party websites, but I don't see a point because, those other websites might become a pure scam and your money will not go to the developer of those games, but to someone else. So what's the point? I rather get those two games for free than buy them from some third party websites.
They'll likely cite Freddy Krueger's license being the reason but the truth is the morons at NRS likely feel some "shame" from the game because of the female outfits designed to be appealing. I'm actually surprised MK9 was made by the same company that has been nosediving the shit out of this franchise for the last five years.
I got my PS3 physical copy, but literally just went on ebay today and found a seller with a Steam key for $30, bought it, and it worked. Now I have MK9 on the go with my Steam Deck. And Holy Shit does it feel so much better to play. Game also has 29 stages. WTF? I don't remember this game having so much content. No regrets.
If they re-released mk9 with rollback, it definitely wouldn't have more players than MK1. I love mk9 as much as the next guy but its a broken unbalanced mess.
Re-released it with rollback, it will certainly have more players. And every MK game is broken and unbalanced. Look at MK1. It's a shit show of broken gameplay.
Why did NetherClownStudios remaster Injustice 1 but not Mortal Kombat 9? They decided to remaster a side game and not their flagship game. They know MK9 is by far the best NRS era MK game and it pissed them off because they know they will never be able to make another game as good as MK9.
Cause of all intense violence I mean you had ppl with their jaws hanging off and they didn’t care about censorship but when mortal mess 11 and 1 came out censorship became a thing and the voice actors were terrible in my opinion
The week it was delisted I ordered a Physical PC copy on amazon. It was a little shady as the copy was PAL region version. Thankfully the code on the back of manual still worked on steam. Its a real shame they delisted it , its my favorite modern MK game.
Mortal Kombat Arcade collection is still available to buy on the Xbox 360 Microsoft store. But I would snag it now while you can, Microsoft plans on shutting down to servers for the 360 this June or July!
... cuz it's superior to MK1 rebutt with a shitload of klassic MK stages, actual battle damage to characters, massive roster, superior art style..... and ALL of it running on hardware 2 FULL generations, back 💀. Oh and the PS3 version also adds Kratos complete with his own Pit stage 😎👍
This game was my introduction to mk, shoutout to my uncle for getting me into the series. Shame they took it off stores, lets hope its because of the freddy dlc and not some other stupid reason
I have the ps3 physical copy and ended up finding a steam key for sale a few months ago. I also bought the arcade Kollection steam key from Amazon a few weeks ago.
I guess MK9 will attract players as MK1 is under great repair. Obviously developers will want to keep their players current on the latest version of MK. Hopefully developers can return to their roots, and learn what they are missing out on in their latest games.
I saved up to get a steamdeck just as i was about to get it i heard this devastating news. I literally have decided against getting the steamdeck because of this devastating news right here bro
Well, I can whole heartedly say that Netherrealm is trying to force people to play the newer games. Notlce, MKXL is not delisted. Even then, they have no excuse to do this. Freddy and Kratos having copyright issues is not even a small issue anymore. Netherrealm is trying to delete the classics and that is all there is to it. I still have my Xbox 360 and my copy of Mortal Kombat 9. They can miss me with forcing me to play Mortal Kombat 11 and Mortal Kombat 12: Electric Time Boogaloo! I refuse to call that piece of shit game Mortal kombat 1.
still playing it till two days ago :) got my vita and PS3 versions Totally no one would play MK1, as I didn't buy it and boycotting it. MK X was good, MK11 sucked but MKX and MK9 are the best. BTW you're lucky to have it on PC, cuz this is the first time to see the online part of the game, on PS3 that part is not accessible at all LOL
I know that for a fact, the reason I got delisted was because the rights that they had expired for the inclusion of Freddy Krueger and the nightmare on Elm Street franchise so the rights went back to West Craven’s estate, and that was stated of long time ago
@@morterenatus9196 Then patch them out the game then. No sir it's deeper than that. This mk was the last of Midway and they don't want no parts of them also they're embarrassed of MK9.
@@just_2swift bro, what you said isn’t making any sense and you can’t patch something out that’s in the game. It’s not as simple as taking a character out because then there’s all the dialogue the interactions and everything like that. It’s even worse than a newer game to patch a character out to be even more difficult so that scenario not really a good solution, OK you simply can’t buy anymore if you want the complete version you have a few options played on the consul that came out on on a hardcopy played on the consul that came on if you want a digital version of it or play it on PC and you can do whatever the fuck you want because it’s easier to manipulate it on there and technically speaking the last Mortal Kombat game that had production was MK versus DC that sold well enough by the time Midway went bankrupt that Warner Brothers realized that they were a good asset to have and they decided to buy them so whether or not they were currently working on something for MK nine in the middle of that bankruptcy. They didn’t actually get to do anything until Warner Bros. bought them and save them from bankruptcy. Then they had the money to continue making that project.
Freddy would be the issue which is why all these movie DLC characters are going to bite game preservation in the arse. Plus Warner Bros like money and would rather have you buy MK1 and all of its trash DLC and micro transactions.
I never played mk9. I was thinking about getting a copy but I heard the game had an unpatched player 1 advantage. Did anyone who played it have this issue?
The advantage is negligible, it's usually if two players do a similar attack at the same time, instead of knocking both back, player one will always get their attack. Unlike mk1s player one advantage where player one can move earlier at the round start
New gaming is letting us down big time pal and I don't get the whole delist thing as you said there's workarounds mate ever since the world went woke nobody wants to offend anybody they want a pg world but I know and you know that's not how the real world is.

Still got my physical copy
Same
Got it on steam digitally and a digital & physical copy on ps3🎉
As you should, keep it close.
We should have an MK9 appreciation day and all join a lobby
It's a joke that we don't have any previous gen games on current consoles. How is the 3D era stuck on consoles over 15 years old.
Licenses expired for dlc is one reason. I'll watch the rest of the video tonight
The guest characters, right?
Nothing is stopping them from releasing the game without Freddy Krueger and Kratos.
Remember mk9 was refused classification and banned in Australia.
Thats how you know its good
this was the peak of mortal Kombat in my opinion

Woke-NRS probably trying to erase that game from existence because it had attractive & natural looking females with revealing body features :)
It’s true.
That’s also why MK 30th Anniversary won’t do the same thing as SF 30th Anniversary by giving us every throwback on one disc.
I’m still playing it on my PS Vita and I enjoy it more than the past 3 MK games.
The BEST NRS game
The last best mk game!
Three words ...the male gaze
Two words, Freddy Kruger

Yep, they killed off MK9 just to start their ESG agenda, image if MK9 had more players than MK1 .... that's would showed how pathetic it is.

The reboot narrative of the MK1-3 storyline was awesome. So good. By far peak MK.

As far as i know the PC only ever got the Komplete edition man
I have mk9 komplete edition for ps3 but multiplayer is no longer functional on that version
Kenshi's addition in MK9 was stupid, could've but Chameleon in there.
