Report: Goro and Jade confirmed for Mortal Kombat

by Richard Mitchell on Jan 10th 2011 10:00PM

What has six arms and throws one mean boomerang? Mortal Kombat's Jade and Goro, of course! The pallet-swapped assassin and perennial boss character will be joining the roster of this year's Mortal Kombat reboot, according to the latest issue of Game Informer (via Mortal Kombat Online).

Reportedly, NetherRealm's Ed Boon also notes in the magazine that the developer is considering adding an exclusive character to the Xbox 360 version of the game. This comes in the wake of news that God of War's Kratos will be available exclusively in the PlayStation 3 version. Our vote: Marcus Fenix, because he's over-the-top enough for Mortal Kombat and he cuts people in half like every five seconds.

Poor Goro. He needs to obtain a special dialing wand.

@EatMoreBread or a hug. A very awkward hug.

COLE TRAIN or nothing.

@The Wicker Man. Wait, wait... Conker. His fatality is : makes opponent buy Rare and develop Kameo.

@The Wicker Man

I'd actually like to see Nicholas Cage in this one. Hopefully his fatality is that he dresses the enemy in a bear suit and punches them in the face.

@Anticrawl
Or he puts the US Constitution in his face then punches him thru it...

This is nothing but a good thing.

Alan Wake.

Actually if the game did better, Baldur from Too Human would be a perfect fit.

@Jenks

lol could you imagine Alan Wake in a fighting game? Alan Wake is my top game of the year but c'mon a skinny jerky writer in a fighting game is a bad idea unless you want to see the shit beat out of him.

@TaintedKane

Red Dead Redemption already beat the shit out of Alan Wake

Mmm mmm mmm Jade...Jade..Jade...that is all I have to say about that O_o oh and goro still creepy as hell.

GOOOROOO!!!!! Hell yes

How about they give RARE something to do and put in Banjo or something.

@InDurdenWeTrust Duuuuuuuuuude, if youre talking RARE properties bring in ANYTHING KILLER INSINCT. or just have rare make a new one.... actually id take anything killer instinct.

@InDurdenWeTrust

Yeah, ya see, the thing about that.

Kratos vs. Scorpion - a pretty fair fight.
Banjo vs. any Mortal Kombat character - not fair at all, as Banjo has no experience ripping people in half or anything of the sort.

@Evil Hayato Indeed. Bring in Fulgore. Marcus Fenix would really look out of place.

@The Harbinger of Pie

But can Scorpion catch Crocodile Banjo with Running Shoes on

@The Harbinger of Pie
Kazooie has slaughtered million, MILLIONS I TELLS YA.

Whats that between his legs? Oh god OH GOD AHHHHHHHHH *Gets sucked into the blackhole*

@TaintedKane

I know, right. Those extra arms are clearly compensating for something.

How about Fulgore from Killer Instinct? or maybe Jago?

@xImmortal007x http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMbDBoniIHc&feature=related

@xImmortal007x Just what I was thinking.

Can't wait for April. MK and LA Noire is gonna be fun.

Oh and make an ultra combo one of his fatalities :D

Seriously, Goro must have the most efficient workout on the planet.

Front Squats while holding a barbell and doing bicep curls.

@CountNoobula

You dont visit the gym very much do you?

While Goro is capable of doing what you said, it would not be an efficient workout because he's not focusing on a single muscle at a time. Ever try running while doing a bicep curl with your left arm, triceps extensions on your right arm and kegels in your pants all at the same time? Yeah, you're not getting far.

@Morisato13
Actually I do go to the gym quite a bit. And there is such a thing as compund exercises. Look it up. For example, you could start with a straight-leg deadlift, followed by a bent-over row, followed by a clean and jerk. Or a more simple one: Squat presses, this is accomplished by thrusting a pair of dumbells over head while in the down position of a squat, and lowering them when you are in the standing position.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it dumb@$$

@CountNoobula
@Morisato13

I thought one of you was going to mention how his lower set of arms have no pectoral muscles and are pretty much worthless- but whatever- argue about how he uses his limbs disregarding whether they are functional or not.

@kabooky

I lift things up and put them down

@kabooky

Good point, didn't take that into account. But then again we know little of his anatomy, perhaps his lower arms get help lifting stuff from his abs and obliques. This warrants further investigation.

@CountNoobula

My Glutes and Deltoids are greater than your Glutes and Deltoids.

@Morisato13. Stop acting like virgins.

I know he's not exclusive anymore but Ryu Hayabusa? If nothing else put Skittles

I'd love to see Bayonetta make an appearance on both console versions.

For the 360 version though I doubt Marcus could keep up with fighters, his special power is he has steroids and a cool voice.

I personally would love to see Kaim Argonar from Lost Odyssey over Marcus Fenix. He'd actually fit in with the universe as he is an immortal.

@Anticrawl My vote is the horse from Viva Pinata.

@Jack Kevorkian

Your horse is amazing...

Mass Effect's Wrex =)

This could work

No, it's going to be Carmine from Gears of War. Think about it, if you're going to submit a character to a game in which opponents are violently and horrifically ripped apart, you have to go with Carmine. He has the most experience in that realm.

I'm 20 years old and this picture still scares the living shit outta me.

Finish him Marcus Fenix style( oh course,) VRROOM VROMMM VROOM VRUM VRUM SLUSH SLUSH PLUPUCKT. Brutality

please bring someone from Killer Instinct! Then, make a KI4! I'd love to see Sabrewulf as a kontender!!

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Fatality on the Citadel

the most notable character for Xbox would be Master Chief but we can't see him get his head chopped off or him pulling Kratos guts out. it just doesn't fit Chief

Goro obviously is supporting Kinect, other wise hes out $200 with the move on just the main controller alone.

Those were 500 dollar sunglasses, asshole.

I only see four arms... Am I missing something?

@bakedbeans6 yeah goro never had six arms huh they goofed

@bakedbeans6

"What has six arms and throws one mean boomerang? Mortal Kombat's JADE AND GORO, of course!"

@bakedbeans6 Jade AND Goro. Jade has 2, Goro has 4.

2+4=6.

6 arms.

Simple, really.
