Ultimate Mortal Kombat bloodies up Nintendo DS this November

There are probably quite a few things that can prepare you for this. Midway has announced a pint-sized punch-a-thon in Ultimate Mortal Kombat, slated to hit, kick and likely do something completely uncalled for to the Nintendo DS in November. The game will offer the traditional fighting and fatalities of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (currently available on Xbox Live Arcade) along with the block-dropping Puzzle Kombat mode, as seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception.

Nintendo Wi-Fi multiplayer is also supported by the title -- just remember to exchange friend codes before exchanging blows.

MK3 is the worst of the MK series... they're all ho-hum,, but MK3 is the black sheep.

hvnlysoldr @ Jun 28th 2007 11:26AM

I thought MK4 when they went 3D is the black sheep. Oh and the Sub-Zero Mythologies and Jax games.

DrMangal @ Jun 28th 2007 11:29AM

Gee, making fun of friend codes. Welcome to 2005

i'm sure you will be able to fight random battles like many other DS games are doing now.

awwwwwwwwyeeeeeaaahhhhhh!

Though every single portable kombat has blown I have faith. I've been waiting mad long for this sheeeet!

UMK3 is definitely not the worst of the MK series. All of the 3D crap are the worst of the MK series.

FrankTheCrank @ Jun 28th 2007 11:48AM

Yeah, who cares? Why is this considered news?

MK2 on DS would be news....or MK1/MK2 combo pack.

But MK3? Meh.

As much as I will buy this, I am still secretly hoping Capcom will crank out a Street Fighter collection that includes online-enabled versions of:

- Super Street Fighter II Turbo: The Ultimate Championship
- Street Fighter Alpha 3
- Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight For The Future
- Street Fighter EX2 Plus Alpha

Or at least a compilation for each SF sub-brand. SF/SFII, SFIII, SFAlpha and SFEX. Yum.

I think this is awesome...there's a huge lack of fighting games for DS, and online will be amazing. I will get this the day it comes out, for sure. But maybe it's because I'm an MK lifer...

CaptNink @ Jun 28th 2007 12:17PM

I think this is great too! I am surprised that a version of Street Fighter has yet to make it to the DS.

Jonathan Tran @ Jun 28th 2007 12:38PM

The second screen should remind you of how to do the ridiculously complicated fatalities

Platy @ Jun 28th 2007 1:02PM

the screen that ilustrates this post makes me think .... there is ANY game that uses the select button to ... you know ... SELECT ? =x

Michael K. @ Jun 28th 2007 1:13PM

This sucks, they should have made a new one instead of a dumb port.

Alex @ Jun 28th 2007 2:02PM

UMK3 is much better then MK3, hence its reason for existing.

naib @ Jun 28th 2007 2:43PM

IMO this is fantastic news. I actually like the dial-a-combos.

Especially if they pull off the WiFi.

Hater3000 @ Jun 28th 2007 2:45PM

If it wasnt because I already have UMK3 in the x360 I would show a little interest in this game after all I'm a die hard MK fan but I dont have a DS also that the trailer just gave me a heacdache.Looks good but this would've been better in the PSP just for the screen size but then again UMK3 Alone like the FF1 solo game for the PSP are just rip off.For the same price you get better games.

Midway Just gave us MK Trilogy with wifi for PSP and DS.

DG @ Jun 28th 2007 2:54PM

Ha! This looks great. Although, I'd rather have MK2 with WiFi and puzzle mode, etc.

Actually, I'd much rather have SFII for DS in some iteration. Please, Capcom, make it happen.

John @ Jun 28th 2007 4:01PM

I agree with #6. 1 and 2 combo pack. UMK3 is meehh

Imadogg99 @ Jun 28th 2007 5:04PM

Holy crap, #10 brings up fatalities...

During the finish him sequence you should do fatalities using the stylus!!! Omg yea! No need to memorize combos, just tap on their head and go up to rip off their spine!!!!

Rubang B @ Jun 28th 2007 5:08PM

Well, considering that the DS is a fully functional SNES controller, this makes perfect sense.

ackmondual @ Jun 28th 2007 8:25PM

2nd screen brings about lots of potential. Character profiles are a good start. Special move lists, combos (!@#$ these get difficult), friendships, animalities, babalities, list kodes (no throwing, etc.). Heck, let's put an overhead view map of the level like with Super Mario 64 DS.
