Mor🎃tal Kombat 2 was a pretty advanced arcade game when it launched in 1993, to the point where none of the contemporary home consoles of the time could really do the fighter justice. It turns out, though, that one conso🍷le of the time actually was capable of handling MK2 - it just took 32 years for somebody to do the work of bringing the game to 3DO.

The 3DO launched in 1993 as the brainchild of EA founder Trip Hawkins. The idea was that the console spec would be licensed out to third-party manufacturers, who would then make their own devices that could play 3DO games. The ꦡfirst 3DO cons🥀oles were built by Panasonic and launched at an eye-watering price tag of $699 USD, which is about $1,500 today, accounting for inflation - a price that could put the PS5 Pro to shame.

below, and if you've played any other contemporary ports of MK2, the quality is immediately apparent.

We've got giant sprites, minimal load times, and fantastic sound - features that even the game's best '90s ports struggled to match. "The assets are sourced from the original arcade version but the game itself was coded from scratch and eyeballed to try and match the arcade gameplay," aꦏccording to a from the port's developer, who goes by FenixTx119, and that just m♔akes this version all the more impressive.

These days, the need for a full-on console port of MK2 is a bit questionable since emulation can let us play the original arcade release in nearly perfect fidelity, but I'm always going to be impressed by the ingenuity of fan developers bringing classic games to derelict consoles. If we're getting the likes of 🦩澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 3 and Vice City on the Dreamcast, the sky's t👍he limit to what retro consoles can manage.

Mortal Kombat 1 makes good on a 30-year tradition of trolling fans by introducing a confusing, labyrinthine quest to fight pink Floyd, a new ninja.
