The announcer of MK 2, 3, always had an amazing voice and variation to the way he said each characters name. Gave lore to them without actually displaying it all from just his voice! Dude is legend.
MKX is the first I played! Even 9 was around when I was more of a kid and tween so I couldn't play it and even now I don't want to because of the aged graphics lol. I played Injustice for years and finally got to play Mortal Kombat X and 11 a year or two ago when I moved out. I'm playing X again right now actually
The Midway games had the best select screens for sure. The colour, the unique backgrounds, the different character poses, the music, the backgrounds. We don't even get unique select screen music anymore its just the same menu theme.
I always thought as a kid MK4 was a horror game going to this local arcade I had. The sound of when you throw a head and the gameover scene was the stuff of nightmares I tell ya...😅
I thought I was the only one 😭 I remember when I was little, I stayed at a hotel and back then they used to have game consoles where you can play demos, I played mk4 out of curiosity and ofc I was piss poor at it, and when it showed the game over screen and my character falling down and being stabbed by the spikes it kept me up all night😂😅
@@supersmashlover926 Lmao Same! I remember exactly how the kid me went from having a blast at mini golf then witnessing the terror of MK4’s end credit screen with the character free falling down that pit to their death.. shxt was scary as hell 😂
MK 1992: Oriental Tournament MK2: Oriental Festival MK3/UMK3/MKT: End of the world MK4: Creepy invasion MKDA: New era and research MKD: Dark world and atmosphere MKA: Battle Royale MK/DC: Good vs Evil MK9: Army's Revolution MKX: The end is coming MK11: Final Countdown MK1: Back to 1992
I’m sorry but those 3D mortal kombat games hold a special place in my memories. Character designs looked elite, the music, the game modes like chess, the story, being able to launch someone into another part of the stage or into a fatal part. Games were too ahead of their time
I started with MK 3 Ultimate SNES version back then but didn´t plyed every single game after that. Also played "Deadly Alliance, Deception & Armageddon" wich all three are very sick titles. ^^
Just the first 7 games for me. After that the only thing I like is the faster gameplay, that's it. My favorite will always be MK2, pure nostalgia and in my opinion the true MK essence.
My favorite style is X and 1 (the new one) because for some reason I see characters easier being in a horizontal format, like reading a book left to right, rather than having to look all the way down vertical so it makes it easier to see to me. Plus it gives room to show animated characters and such. I've also only played X and 11 since I've only played the modern ones
My earliest literal memory was seeing my brother and cousins playing mortal kombat 1 & 2. I’ve been playing MK, Street fighter and Tekken since like 5/6 yrs old.
There's something about that 1992 Mortal Kombat game screen music and voice. Nostalgic at an all-time high. Tekken fans remember this fact "Mortal Kombat is the 🐐of fighting games." 😤.
What it’s like playing tekken. Juggle combo, go to the dmv, get some food on the way back, get home, still in a juggle combo. DOA is a better 3d fighter
MKA's impressive roster is never gonna be topped, is it? Anyway, I like the original MK announcer best of all. I think the rest were overdoing it a bit, in trying to sound badass.
Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance was my absolute favorite! I felt like it was slept on. Soundtrack was fire, and I absolutely loved doing the konquest’s! And can’t forget Adema’s ‘Immortal’ song!
Same I used to play to play mk3 backed when apple used to have it on the apple store so I got to somewhat experience that 90’s feeling growing up as an iPad kid
All I want is Steve Ritchies character select voice from Mortal Kombat Trilogy as a klassic voice pack for when you select OG characters in MK1. NRS sleeping on the idea though.
My first MK was the first one and on floppy Disk for the Amiga..i am old ha..i remember trying to freeze someone as sub zero to finish him and it pulled the guys head off so i hid under my desk for awhile 😅
I seen a Mortal Kombat arcade when i was a kid at a corner store and it scared the hell at of me. Never played it at all but my 1st Mortal Kombat i ever played was 4.
Way back then, the developers of the arcade games used what they had for the live action sprites. During the 3D era they got creative yet still are limited with computer graphics. For MK9 NRS really nailed the 3D graphics and went further with it in the next few games.
I miss the announcer from MK2-MK3/UMK3/Triligoy was simply the best. There was a sense of mystery to it. Starting with MK4, it wasn't the same and has gotten worse since.
Mk Deadly Alliance gave stats that dont carry over. Thinking how Raiden is 7ft tall and Jax being 6'8" and 350 lbs. Makes me wonder how big Shao Kahn is...
I’m a be honest when i say i love Mk1’s character select screen when they start entering the scene. Then after picking your characters they clash elbows or weapons, then after picking a stage either one attacks first and the fight starts on the stage.
MK X - the game with better design/style, music and atmosphere in series, it game release 8 years ago, but look like new game. It power of good design.
Started out playing MK1 then MK2 and MK Trilogy. I got into my mid 10’s after and played MK Deadly Alliance & Deception. I stopped playing console games when I turned 18 and started playing WoW LOL… Dropped all gaming started living a diff life. Working and busying my ass going out clubbing, fkn doing dumb shit oh man I can go back to those great times! Got into cars started racing and more. Turned 32 and something hit me and I wanted to go back in time…. 😅 well guy’s here I am started mashing buttons in MKX didn’t know wtf I was doing then got into MK11 fun game but scrubby and now we’re in this unfinished still BETA sort of like MK1 🙄. Taking it easy on the game since they need to fix a lot but until then I’ma go build my new PC! Gaming room is almost done LOL can’t believe I’m a kid again in my own gaming room world.

It was Shao Khan
Steve Ritchie
Exactly! I love the way he says "baRRRaka" in Mk2.
Exactly
@@MateoIllarioI Like How He Say "Rareptile" In MK2
I've gotten kind of nostalgic for MKX as time has gone on. The different fighting style variations hit in that game more than any other
Same here. Also dark tematics and style of some fighters I Iike the most from that game like: Mileena, Tanya, Dark Emperor Liu Kang, Erron Black
I loved how fast paíse MkX was
@@DomagojSavordh Tanya was absolutely busted in X. I have nightmares about her and Tremor

Hey man I am still playing mortal kombat XL on my PC and downloading mk 11 aftermath and Mortal kombat 1 2023!!!!!
Mortal Kombat 9 was my first mk game. Seeing the secret screen is nostalgic
Lmao so you're a child?
@@jetrifle4209 No I'm 21
Well in their eyes you would be a child considering it's the 9th installment in the series. If it's the first mortal kombat you were exposed to.
My first mk game was deception but mk9 has been my favorite so far because i had so much fun with friends online on that game.
Same bro
The Midway games had the best select screens for sure. The colour, the unique backgrounds, the different character poses, the music, the backgrounds. We don't even get unique select screen music anymore its just the same menu theme.
don't forget the backgrounds!
mk1 loading is mad dope tho u gotta say
Soooooo basically netherrealm but worse?
Which ones were the midway games
@@xrayvisinEverything before MK9 (basically from the first Mortal Kombat to Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe)

They need to bring that atmosphere back to MK, and that game over, fall to your death pit lol
MK 1992: Oriental Tournament
MK2: Oriental Festival
MK3/UMK3/MKT: End of the world
MK4: Creepy invasion
MKDA: New era and research
MKD: Dark world and atmosphere
MKA: Battle Royale
MK/DC: Good vs Evil
MK9: Army's Revolution
MKX: The end is coming
MK11: Final Countdown
MK1: Back to 1992
Mk1 is more of a back to mk3-mk1 in general but
Why does everybody think UMK3's select screen music is a end of the world??
@@aversthesomeoneMusic? I think he’s referring to the theme of the game as a whole.
@@MrWii000 Well it's that, either music or both.

Mk deception its the peak
Thanks for saying sorry
@@rafaelpbperezbello2443I agree completely
Same here
MK9 is better.
My first Mortal Kombat was Shaolin Monks and Armageddon , pure nostalgia and awesome times
Me to my friend :D
It was the best PlayStation 2
game 😢
Sounds crazy but my first game was mk9 i remember
I started with MK 3 Ultimate SNES version back then but didn´t plyed every single game after that.
Also played "Deadly Alliance, Deception & Armageddon" wich all three are very sick titles. ^^
i remember doing the miniature races on armageddon lmao so fun
These comparison videos are sweet. Loved the Armageddon one.
MK II will always tickle the inner nostalgia in me
Deadly alliance's still slaps. That music 🔥🔥
Best select
“Mortal kombat 1995 theme but the announcer names every kharacter who has ever been in mortal kombat.”
Grandpa voice
Shang Tsung
Armageddon almost had the whole roster on it. Before the following four or five games added 20-30 more characters. I think Armageddon is gold
The voice from Deception was the greatest. this dude sounds awesome!
Deadly alliance was criminally underreated
Its more great deception i think
I remember playing Mortal Kombat ever since I was 8 years old, which is crazy because I somehow became a fan of Mortal Kombat.
Just the first 7 games for me. After that the only thing I like is the faster gameplay, that's it. My favorite will always be MK2, pure nostalgia and in my opinion the true MK essence.
facts
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
What you 🚬 ...😂
Didn't ask.
Ehhh not for me ngl but I respect you're opinion because MK and MK3 themes were fire af!!!🔥🔥🔥
I love the way the announcers up to Armageddon said Baraka. Really made it sound foreign and monstery
LOL yeah I loved how Baraka was announced. Like you said, foreofm and monstery or monastery. Very deep
My favorite style is X and 1 (the new one) because for some reason I see characters easier being in a horizontal format, like reading a book left to right, rather than having to look all the way down vertical so it makes it easier to see to me. Plus it gives room to show animated characters and such.
I've also only played X and 11 since I've only played the modern ones
Ever since MK DA the character select screen has alternated between vertical and horizontal
Go play the old ones
Only play the old ones if you want to
Mk 3 / trilogy is the best IMO. The graphic looks very real than the others. I still remember playing it on my Sega Megadrive, what a gold time.
Because they were actor scans till MK4
I agree! Definitely my favorite and when trilogy came out it was so fun to play as the masters too hehe
MK 2-trillogy announcer voice will always be the best, i wish they would have gotten him back for the new games
Not
@@tamagotchiil wow such a witty response 🤨
My earliest literal memory was seeing my brother and cousins playing mortal kombat 1 & 2. I’ve been playing MK, Street fighter and Tekken since like 5/6 yrs old.
Bro what😂
There's something about that 1992 Mortal Kombat game screen music and voice. Nostalgic at an all-time high. Tekken fans remember this fact "Mortal Kombat is the 🐐of fighting games." 😤.
Why Tekken fans specifically?
Bro got beef with a better fighting game franchise, I can't-
Wait why are you picking on Tekken fans?😂😂
Both are good games, I really don't see a reason to bash either franchise overall.
What it’s like playing tekken. Juggle combo, go to the dmv, get some food on the way back, get home, still in a juggle combo. DOA is a better 3d fighter
I really loved the design of Jax and Raiden from Deadly Alliance
Shang sung top
Deadly Alliance being the most replayed part is real af.
MK9 was the best of them all. The peak in everything
MKA's impressive roster is never gonna be topped, is it? Anyway, I like the original MK announcer best of all. I think the rest were overdoing it a bit, in trying to sound badass.
11:42 I love this game man the free fall and the running through walls was so good even the voice was giving me the chills
7:15 I really like Shaolin Monks' announcer's voice. It's my favorite out of all the MK games.
It was Steve Ritchie who also did arcade Shao.
Its the same guy from 2 and 3
31 Years of MK!!!
I will always love the X version.
Cinematic but still keeping it simple.
Armageddon for the vibes tho 😊
Nothing will ever beat the MK2 MK3 character selection voices
Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance was my absolute favorite! I felt like it was slept on. Soundtrack was fire, and I absolutely loved doing the konquest’s! And can’t forget Adema’s ‘Immortal’ song!
Thank you for this video ❤
Umk3 is still my favorite❤️🔥❤️🔥 the select screen sound brings me back to my childhood.
The first 3 bring many memory's to me even though I'm not 30
Same I used to play to play mk3 backed when apple used to have it on the apple store so I got to somewhat experience that 90’s feeling growing up as an iPad kid
All I want is Steve Ritchies character select voice from Mortal Kombat Trilogy as a klassic voice pack for when you select OG characters in MK1. NRS sleeping on the idea though.
Amargedon had the best Select music, realy set the tone🔥
Mk2 greatest voice he gives everyone their own x factor
My first MK was the first one and on floppy Disk for the Amiga..i am old ha..i remember trying to freeze someone as sub zero to finish him and it pulled the guys head off so i hid under my desk for awhile 😅

@@evellol2059Shang Tsung's Laboratory!!
Is it just me or is scorpion so bad ass in deadly alliance?
Mortal kombat trilogy gets my vote by a far margin
herman sanchez (the announcer from the 3d era (mk4 - mkvsDc)...was one of my favs along with steve Richie (mk2/mk3)
First mk game i was exposed to was armageddon at the age of 4 or 5 and instantly loved it. Now currently 21 and i love every mk game flaws and all
MK4 was my first fighting game ever
It had a weird vibe but i loved the select screen, menu and sound effects
mk armageddon is my fav because it has more character, and epic armageddon scene ❤
Ik mk vs dc isnt the best mortal kombat but it was the one i grew up with and the first one i played that got me into the franchise
Didn't realise how many games I missed out on over the years...🐉
De 10 el mortal kombat bro 🔟
Excellent! Thanks for video 👍👍
My first and favourite Mk games:
1. 1992
2. Trilogy N64
3. Deception GC version
we need Herman sanchez, steve richie, and Ed boon doing his announcer voice from Mk1 1992. We need all those added into mk1
I agree. I miss the original Shang Tsung as the announcer and also the 3D Era announcer.
The best Select Screen for me
Best in the old: MK trilogy
Best in the present: MK 11
Way back then, the developers of the arcade games used what they had for the live action sprites.
During the 3D era they got creative yet still are limited with computer graphics.
For MK9 NRS really nailed the 3D graphics and went further with it in the next few games.
Very good,,,tanks❤❤❤
life was so cool back then damn
MK1-3 were so fucking good for the time. BLEW OUR MINDS OFF in the arcade when those came out. Each game was a BANGER
MK11 had the best roster, MK Deadly Alliance had a awesome character select theme
I never played mk shaolin monks so i never knew how small the roster was lol.
Franchise just hasnt been the same since Midway man
I miss the announcer from MK2-MK3/UMK3/Triligoy was simply the best.
There was a sense of mystery to it.
Starting with MK4, it wasn't the same and has gotten worse since.
Umk3 will always have my heart
They all was terrific 🙂👍🏾💯
Deadly alliance was my first Mk game it was so fun😢
Armageddon is my favourite ❤
Kitana beatiful MK Deadly alliance 😍
Mk trilogy was the best roaster ever only thing missing old Shang tsung from MK1 also my 2nd favourite looking character after goro.
I’ve just noticed that from deadly alliance, each following game switches between horizontal and vertical character icon placement
Johnny went from a Asian guy to a American in one game 😂😂😂
I feel at a certain point, they decided to make the select screen horizontal and then vertical, and it repeats each year lol 😂
Amazing work🤩
Mk Deadly Alliance gave stats that dont carry over. Thinking how Raiden is 7ft tall and Jax being 6'8" and 350 lbs. Makes me wonder how big Shao Kahn is...
I honestly liked mk vs dc it’s was something different about it
Mi primer MK fue el últimate en una versión para celulares
Rip character select music 1992 to 2011
MK11
MKX
MK3
MK1
MK
We're the best ones to me!!!🔥🔥🔥
I’m a be honest when i say i love Mk1’s character select screen when they start entering the scene. Then after picking your characters they clash elbows or weapons, then after picking a stage either one attacks first and the fight starts on the stage.
Mk 2 was the first mk I ever played 💯on the super Nintendo
I remember getting mk2 for Christmas. I was like 6 lol. I went straight to play it and didn't open the rest of my gifts
Ive played all at the time they released except armagedon and vs DC and meet Ed Boon in person. Lovely video... MK across all life haha love it.
Shaolin Monks with the best announcer voice
Nice job
MK X - the game with better design/style, music and atmosphere in series, it game release 8 years ago, but look like new game. It power of good design.
The story mode for deception was awesome.
MK 2 was my childhood 🔥
i like that the old mks are using real people in costumes as in game models and there are amazing and so cool back then before the 3d kicks in
MK Trilogy and MK9’s rosters are phenomenal
My first MK game was MK vs DC. I didnt have another MK game until MK11, and now i have MK1.
MK 3 was the best one. That game was on steroids. Loved it
1 and 2 MK are best to this day and I think forever.
trilogy & deception just hit me much better than the rest ngl
Mortal Kombat Armageddon was the golden game of the 3D era.
I miss the feeling of 3D MK select themes. MK9 kept it very well
Started out playing MK1 then MK2 and MK Trilogy. I got into my mid 10’s after and played MK Deadly Alliance & Deception.

1:17 I Remember playing this on the Xbox 360
Including MK1 And MK2 On My Xbox
Amazing job, great idea this video
My Favorite Character In Every Mortal Kombat is Scorpion 🦂
I like MK11’s select screen, I wish the characters didn’t then pose and instead stood there.
