Several have unused special moves never implemented in previous games which made their first official appearance in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Many of the characters have brand new special moves and finishing moves. This arena's Stage Fatality had to be omitted as no MK1 or MK3 characters had the unique sprites for falling off the bridge. (Brutalities were also added to the Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES ports of UMK3.) All of the arenas that featured a Stage Fatality are featured in this game with their respective Fatality finishing moves except the Pit II. Once the bar is filled, it can be activated, which makes the character move much faster and deal heavy damage for a short period of time.Ī finishing move in the game known as a Brutality requires the player to perform an 11-button combo which causes their opponent to explode.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy introduces the Aggressor bar, which fills as the combatants fight (twice as much if the opponent is blocking). The HUD is the same from MK3/ UMK3, while the Aggressor bar is exclusive to MKT. Raiden from MK battles the Mortal Kombat Trilogy version of Johnny Cage in MK II's armory stage. The hardest criticism was directed at the Nintendo 64 version, which did not have all the content of the other versions due to limited storage space on the cartridge.įurther information: Gameplay of Mortal Kombat 3 It also features a new finishing move called Brutality, a long combination of attacks that ends with the opponent exploding. New additions to the game included the "Aggressor" bar, a meter that fills during the course of the match and temporarily makes a player character faster and stronger. Some completely new characters were also introduced. Mortal Kombat Trilogy features the same gameplay and story as Mortal Kombat 3, but adds characters and stages from the other three arcade games, including Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Further versions were also released for the and R-Zone. Unlike the previous title, it was not released in arcades (except for prototypes), but was instead released for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn and PCs.
#MORTAL KOMBAT TRILOGY SATURN UPDATE#
Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a fighting video game released by Midway in 1996 as an update to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Thank God.Up to 2 players simultaneously (8 on N64) Luckily, Ed Boon and John Tobias seem to have realized this, and have gone back to basics with Mortal Kombat 4, having only fatalities. It's the worst kind of punishment to get a demonstration of all of them after winning the game.

Sure it was a great idea to include features people had rumored about on the Internet, but face it, Animalities suck.

In the end, Mortal Kombat Trilogy really symbolizes how out of hand the whole MK series has gotten with the "-alities" and all. Having a cartridge add-on for the game could've helped make the animations really incredible, though at least it's understandable that the developers didn't go that route. After a year of waiting, it's pretty sad that they're not all present.

screens, and full animations for all the boss characters. Unfortunately, there are a few things that could've been added to make it clearly better, such as character balancing and AI tweaks, and to a lesser extent, endings, vs. My preference for the Sega controller for fighting games makes me like it slightly more than the PlayStation version, which in turn was worlds better than the atrocious Nintendo 64 revision. When it comes down to it though, I consider this the best version of MKT out there, as it does have a certain amount of value in letting you play all your favorite MK characters against each other. This would be less obnoxious if they didn't do it the same way every single time, making it entirely frustrating and totally unlike playing a real human being. For example, try a special move and certain opponents will dodge it and execute an attack before you can block. Meanwhile, the AI often simply works in clockwork response to your own actions. Fighters such as Noob Saibot and Jade are incredibly overpowered, with moves that run from rendering projectiles ineffective to making characters momentarily powerless. Just like the PlayStation version of the game, the character balancing and computer AI are atrocious. It includes 32 playable kombatants (plus the four MK/MKII alternates of Kano, Raiden, Kung Lao, and Jax), stages, fatalities (and all the other humiliating finishing moves), and a handful of new moves - all together providing quite a bit of value for the player, right? Well, there are a few problems along the way that keep everything from seeming quite so rosy. Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the Sega Saturn is a nearly identical port of last year's PlayStation version of the game, for all the good and bad that entails. In effect though, it ended up something else entirely.

Take all three and a half Mortal Kombat games and cram them into one.
