Here's a nice video to start things off! A fatality compilation!

MORTAL KOMBAT TIME!
Why you should care: Simple question... why should you care? After all Mortal Kombat has long since fallen off the awesome radar (even though I've personally enjoyed most games in the series). Well, you should care this time around because Boon took a page out of Capcom's book and is returning to the games roots...
1. It's on a 2D plane again. Keep that strafing shit in tekken. In MK9 there's only back, up, and forward... and everything in-between those of course.
2. Say hello to the original cast! Almost all characters (except Rain, Motaro, and male/female chameleon I believe) have returned for this game. From alive and well Liu Kang to Goro, the cast is all here!
3. Wow, it's bloody! That initial *WTF THAT'S SICK* feeling you got way back when MK was released is back. This game takes guts and gore and fatalities to a new level. They have even modeled in insides of each character’s body. You'll be able to do insanely gory stuff life, split a person groin to skull or puke acid down someone's throat... and you will cringe (or laugh in disgust/awesomeness).
4. X-RAY MOVES! Remember when I said the insides of each character were modeled? Well that's incorporated into more aspects of the game than fatalities. Enter the X-Ray move. These moves are like the Ultra moves in SFIV. You build up a meter as you preform moves and take damage... once this meter is filled you can preform an X-ray move with a simple tap of L2 and R2. This will trigger an insanely cinematic move where you actually see the insides of a character get damaged via and X-ray. So you'll see Scorpion's skull literally shatter as sub-zero headbutts him.
5. A 15 hour story. Fighting games aren't known for their lore or story, but MK's former and later have always been pretty good for a fighting game (albeit that’s not saying much at all). I assume it will be like MK vs DC, where the story is told via many cutscenes and then battles in-between the cutscenes, as opposed to Deception or Armageddon where you actually explored the world
6. The Challenge Tower... is just awesome. I'll post a video of it below!
7. TAG TEAM! Yup Tag team mode is here. It's your typical fighting tag team mode. Two characters fight at once, but can switch with a partner on the fly... like the MvC series it also includes assists though! But the coolest part is FOUR PEOPLE CAN PLAY AT ONCE! That's right, this fighting game doesn't need to be a mere 1 on 1 event! Now you can play with three amigos! Cool stuff right?
8. Tons of DLC content. MK9 is already packed to the brim with a ton of fighters, various deep and goofy modes, and a entire story, and it will only grow. The MK team plans to be extremely aggressive with their DLC output. Expect allot of ways to enrich your experience.
9. Kratos. The god of war. Yeah. He's in.
10. Sonya’s nipples?
Ok now I'll spoiler this next part. If you don't want to know what characters are actually in the game than don't look. (Thanks to the fellas over at the MK wiki for this list

Anyways, I'm really psyched for this game. I remember reading in an early interview that due to the infinites in MKvsDC, they were designing MK9 so that post-release balancing patches would be easy to do. That's a feature I've always wanted out of online fighting games.
Well...

The videos from the demo version are great too. Test you sight, might, strike, and luck? Hell yeah!
Typically there is one of them per year, though this year I think there are three (MK, Infamous 2, Arkham City). That game where in the weeks leading up to it, you can try to play other games, but they all seem empty...what you really want won't be there for a few weeks, and you can't trick your brain into thinking you're getting real enjoyment from anything else until you have it.
Then you're not going to enjoy any games for months apart. :P
MBDTF is okay. That was a dumb video though.
I don't see what that has to do with Mortal Kombat though!
I'll tell you what has to do with Mortal Kombat: (spoilered for huge)
Yeahhhhhhhh
Can't wait for April 19th, and still curious about the Jade costume that includes

Bruce Lee would fucking end you.
I would agree but say four, assuming Skyward Sword comes out this year (not to mention whatever 3DS and NGP games demand peoples attentions). Zelda games most definitely put out a field that makes other games released during the same time frame irrelevant. There is a notable bias that I have here but the fact remains!
I'm pleasantly surprised and excited that this is a thing that a new Mortal Kombat game is managing to do though. I really don't think you could say that about the last few games in the series that we've seen.
This is most certainly true.
Thread title : MK : Where boobs are made of muscle.
Which one is that?

Indeed, all she has to do is put her opponents head between them . . . and then flex.
Maybe in all fairness, the genitalia for all the male characters are shown to be made of muscle too.
Goro could straight up beat you to death with his dick, much like a Wookie could.
I'm guessing they couldn't go into insane detail when it comes to that stuff. You know... for the ratings. You can't make the boobs look to much like boobs in the same way you can't show johnny cage going at liu kang's nuts like a speed bag. Just make it all look like uniform muscle to be safe.

What a wonderful world we live in.
I've been saying this for years.
Also he
Man oh man, fuck Rain and especially Tanya (what do people see in her? She's so boring!), I want my Bo' Rai Cho DLC and now I can finally get my hopes up! Out of all the post MK4 characters he has the most presence in this game. If not DLC he will certainly be in MK10 (which Boon already appears to be preparing for).
OH BOY OH BOY!
Think I will order my custom Bo' Rai CHo MK stick...

His x-ray is cool, but I really love the move that's right after it in that clip.
Noob's shadow goo clone thingy drags the guy into a portal, Noob stands there and crosses his arm and all you hear is a series of punches landing.
Really want to see his fatalities...
Boon and the boys have clearly missed the marketing boat on this one.
So far the only thing I don't dig about the game, and it's a minor nitpick, is the crescendo sound that precedes the fatality. Again, minor thing, I know, but the sound in the new MK is just so...weak and tinny, compared to that of, say, MK II.
Speaking of MK II, if you don't already have it in some form or fashion, you can buy it for $2.50 on PSN if you're a PS+ member (which you are if you're playing the new MK demo).
Yeah, I don't typically play fighting games. I haven't paid any attention to any marketing whatsoever. The only reason I'm interested now is because of Kratos.
The marketing motorboat.

I can't be the only one convinced that I will never, ever beat that fucking game. Even with the difficulty turned down to 1.
I can stay competitive against human opponents. The computer is a cheating son of a bitch. It doesn't realize that its current iteration's prime directive is not to steal my quarters.
I usually just set the difficulty to the lowest setting and stop at Kintaro.
