One of the biggest problems in games is behavior. It does not matter how good the game is or how influential, or whether it is a beloved classic, a flash in a pan or anything in between. It is simply arduous to play ancient fighting games on contemporary equipment. If you want to play in any Tekken earlier than 7, it is better to have an ancient console connected. Soulcalibur? I hope that you have a 2 and/or re -re -releases switch or physical disks. The best version of Street Fighter III: 3. Strike? Still trapped on Xbox 360 and PS3. And so on. Some did better than others (Capcom, SNK, the ARC system works), but in fact many of the best, most critical games of the past are lost or trapped on ancient equipment or a saddle of bad ports, which make them basically impossible to play in the worst and deeply defective. And this is the best scenario. Those that have burned out or disappeared? You probably can’t play legally at all. Rest in peace, fans of Masters of Terry Kasia.
This situation of the digital eclipse enters Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, Compilation of the glory days of Mortal Kombat from early days. If a digital eclipse seems to be the right studio for this type of thing, probably because they have many stories, doing Tetris forever, Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection and, my favorite, teenage mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, among many, many others. They know what they are doing here; The only question will be the implementation.
The most critical things are, of course, the games themselves. The classics are here: Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat 4. But it’s not just arcade games. Console and portable versions are also here. If you prefer sweating the original Mortal Kombat, it’s for you. If you like Genesis Game more, it’s here too. I am an arcaded purist, but it’s nice that there are options for people who are not or who simply would like to see different versions of each of them.
But we are not confined to the Klassic version (sorry) that everyone and their mother played. Strange things are here too. This means that Game Boy Advance version Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is included, as well as things such as the 32x version of Mortal Kombat II and the Game Boy and Game Gear versions of the original Mortal Kombat. I didn’t even know them made Game Boy version of the original Mortal Kombat, but it’s here if you want.
In addition, each game in Legacy Kollection will operate online multiplayer with net -rolback netcode powered by GGPO, one of the best solutions in the industry. This edition will mean that for the first time most games in this collection online. This meant a lot of additional work for a digital eclipse (adding online game to martial games that they do not yet have, this is an extremely arduous undertaking), but if they manage to do it, it will be a huge achievement.
However, online game is not the only recent offer in this package. The digital eclipse allows you to unlock each secret with a button. This means characters, game settings, hidden programmers menu, all enchilada. If you prefer to do things normally, how to unlock a reptile (seriously, look for a process in the original MK to remember how wild some of the MK’s arcade secrets were), you can do it. But if you don’t want trouble, every secret is at your fingertips.
I can’t wait the most, this is the propensity of the digital Eclipse to archive work, which will appear in the heritage of Kollection. This means that interviews with Ed Boon, John Tobias, Dan Forden, John Vogel and many, many others – but also archival things, such as the material of the actors, which was scanned in the game, as well as the Mortal Kombat comic book, written and illustrated by Tobias himself, that you could send it by post and IS, like all collectors’ items. Add a schedule of a series that follows the history of each character and the history of the various kingdoms of MK, and it looks like the Kollection heritage will have the desire everything that Fan MK (and adolescent pistols who want to learn the history of the series). And as someone who grew up in the arcade with these games, I am glad that they will be available to everyone. See you online at UMK3.
