    Has Boon ever said why they don't use the Mortal Kombat song in any games, even as a bonus?

    It was in the attract screen of MK3, IIRC. Or something in MK3 at least.

    But I would guess it's because it wasn't made by any of the people working on the games, so none of them consider it a important part of the IP.

    I'm guessing, from the video of Prince's Bat-dance, that this was a joke referring to Boon twittering Prince lyrics.

    Batman's already done his time with the MK fighters, somehow I doubt DC would let him back in the ring considering the exponentially higher levels of violence and gore in this game compared to MKvsDC.

    Meh, DC is owned by Warner Brothers, who also own Netherrealm studios. If daddy tells them to play together it, they'll have to do it, and DC can't do shit about it.

    Ah yes, found it. it was the menu music for MK3.

    It's different, but it's clearly inspired by the movie theme.

    I just think it's weird, since that song is probably more popular than the IP itself.

    Mortal Kombat isn't where you want your easily more famous and lucrative brand to die (both digitally and in the real world).

    Between that and Noob's wishbone fatality, it looks like someone at Nether Realms has a serious hard-on for nut shots taken to the extreme.

    I came across something earlier that, although pretty cool, would test the sanity and patience of even the most avid fan of fighting game finishers.

    Two Hour Fatality-Thon
    With the release of the Mortal Kombat reboot just around the corner, one plucky youtube fan by the name of BigBangBlitz has taken it upon himself to collect just about every finishing sequence from almost every 2D fighting game out there into one brain draining video.

    "Every fatality I know of from every commercially available 2D game, and some other stuff. I tried to keep redundancy to a minimum so if there are multiple versions of the same thing I just took one. It runs for nearly two hours, so buckle in for the long haul and scream along, or you can use the handy menu to skip to what interests you the most! You can return to the menu at any point by clicking the upper left corner of the screen. The games in each series are grouped together and those groups are in alphabetical order. I didn't put in Brutalities, Ultras or the normal finishers from Pray for Death either since they are mostly the same thing or just sad."

    At two hours long, I doubt there are a lot of you out there that are going to get through the whole thing, but I'm sure you'll still have fun reminiscing as you skip through to the ones from games you've actually played. I've been perusing the Killer Instinct section myself. Never thought I'd get tired of hearing "ULLLLTRAAAAA COMBOOOOOO". I was so, so wrong.

    Pixelated Blood - 500+ fatalities! HD1080


    And it has a handy menu that you can access at any time to skip ahead to your game of choice!

    I'm inclined to agree so long as Samurai Showdown, Killer Instinct, and Primal Rage are made exceptions. Even so, those games admittedly do have pretty lame finishers. Primal Rage is easily the most debatable of those three in overall quality, but I liked it! Its going to have to compete with Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D soon enough though.

    Some of those did look really badass but . . . ack. I can't take that much concentrated anime!

    I'm a sucker for dinosaurs I suppose. This might not be the case anymore, but it was awesome when I was in high school!

    Also, my secret shame is that I owned Clayfighter 63 1/3 and got pretty formidable at it. Its good stupid fun if you completely shut your brain off. Part of that is also that I am a sucker for Earthworm Jim.

    wow most of the videos I had seen of Eternal Champions must of been speed the hell up. I didn't realize the game ran that slow. Is it loading the animations when it just sits there for about 10 secs?

    Skipping through that video and seeing "Way of the Warrior" when you're really tired is a trip. My god that game looks terrible.

    Eternal Champions only really slowed during the finishers because it had to load them.

    That being said it wasn't a super fast game to begin with.

    Are you saying I can punch a guy in several specific places, turn around, and say "You're already dead." in a bad-ass tone while he pops like a strawberry juice-filled balloon?

    Well, of course I know that the popping like a strawberry juice-filled balloon thing is already in, I meant the rest of it.

    Seriously, I'm probably gonna play this game to lose weight, because I don't think I'd want to eat anything after witnessing any possible fatalities in this game.

    I just finished watching that video....Pray for Death, Xenophage and Way of the Warrior were the funniest/weirdest things I've seen in my life.

    And then I read that Xenophage was made by 3D Realms and Way of the Warrior by Naughty Dog.

    I know a lot of MK stuff is ridiculous, but with this particular direction that they're going Kabal's kick during the start of his fatality seems exceptionally... I dunno, comical? I know none of these are rooted in reality or any such nonsense but this one strikes me as kinda odd. Its the sort of kick you float a hacky sack with and here it is sending Sub-Zero 20 feet in the air :lol: .
