- I’ve been enjoying Mortal Kombat 2 for the Sega Genesis more than usual lately, and I didn’t understand why.. however, I get it now. Watch as I explain, and then play through this highly underrated but fantastic version of MK2.
Enjoy!
MKII on Genesis is what started my lifelong love of Mortal Kombat
We could have been blood Brothers
me too
Well Mega Drive for me being in a PAL region
Same here.
It was dog shit…looked like shit, played like shit, sounded like shit
The Genesis version definitely has its own vibe.
I miss the 90s so much, man. Magical time to be alive. No modern game can match the feeling of games from that era like MK2 - to me at least😀
I rented this one heaps and remember dreaming about it at that time 😂 and now my copy is an ex-rental one!
bro late 80's early 90's is the best of gaming ever, emulation is king!
I agree with you totally. Cuz modern games focus on story & length now of a game. Too be honest, you don't need to play a game for 100 hours. 1 hour is plenty. This game I can beat in 20 min. This is the difference with Retro & Modern gaming.
As a kid, I had to choose between the SNES or the Genesis. I chose the Genesis. I never regret that decision, especially for MK.
CRT TVs does things to a mf. Especially at night time. If i get a chance on the weekends, i'll hook up CVS 2, turn off my phone, grab some beer and chill.
I wish I had that era of my lofe

When those Genesis cross platform games, sneakily find ways to best their Snes counterparts. It's a beautiful thing.
The Genesis soundtrack is incredible.
I might be the only one who listens to mk2 genesis soundtrack while outside smoking it’s just pure nostalgia for me
Dude I was cruising to the Castlevania symphony of the night soundtrack f*** where nerds😂😂
👍💯☮️
MK2 genesis OST is great for the gym, lifting and treadmill feels like a real "Test Your Might"! 🐲
Dark scary music i love it
@@FinalStage4L The smoking part kills me...I mean, you..? 🙃🙂
MK 2 on Genesis was the first home version i played back in 1993. SNES is the one i played at home the most. I didn't own a Genesis of my own much later. I got back into retro in 2009 and haven't stopped since. I have modern game systems, but to me nothing beats being able to just pop a cartridge in and start playing the game quickly without system or game updates. Nostalgia is so great.
The Genesis version of MK2 had a darker vibe and that was what i liked better vs the SNES version
The drums and bass really carried this OST, and the high synths were the cherry on top.😊
@@Yuzoboy The same dark vibe of the arcade version.
You should buy a 32X and MKII 32X. That is how I played back in ‘95 and loved every minute of it!
The soundtrack is so much better”darker” than the other releases and the 32X version just perfects what’s awesome about the Genesis version…
Young me: I hate that Genesis twang
Old me: I love that Genesis twang
It was our first MK2 and spent hours on it. Love it as a kid.
the Genesis version of MK2 was the home version I played. I loved it and still do. Better than the atGames version.
MK II on Genesis was the very first MK game I ever played and that’s were my love for MK started
Not a bad place to start, I’m hooked right now!
It's so hard to overlook all the missing sound content in this. I was raised with the superior SNES version so I was spoiled. Once I got to play the 32X version, it added so much sound content & graphic quality that I finally had a good rival to the SNES version. It's better in some aspects & worse in a couple others so it's fun to go between them. Will probably never play the Genesis version again
I just recently purchased a CRT TV and a Snes and Genesis to play these old games, and while the extra colours of the Snes are noticeable, the higher resolution of the Genesis in most games is also very noticeable. The consoles are actually very evenly matched in the end.
Sega Genesis was my first game console I bought with my own money as a teenager. I'm. HUGE Mortal Kombat fan too.
I totally understand what you're saying.
CRTs are a treasure these especially when playing classic games it really does make a difference as opposed to playing on a more modern TV, great video as always!
This literally is and always will be my favorite game of all time ever since the year it came out. Friggin love MK2 on the Genesis.
Im like this with Streets of Rage 2 realizing it's VASTLY superior to Final Fight in my old age. I think 90s kids were too obsessed with graphics and sound, and how special the arcade was. Now that we have arcade perfect ports, we can give it an honest look.
Final Fight is so early, but look at how big the sprites are compared to Double Dragon. FF is weird because you have to queue up attacks in advance to get the speed you need. SoR is way more responsive. I found Sor3 gives you so many moves, it's could be almost too easy. But in the US version, the difficulty is so brutal, you will be lucky to get halfway through. But if you can level up your guy, the level of intensity of the gameplay of Sor3 is the greatest. Rolling up and down, queuing up a ranging double kick, instinctively as you plough through baddies. Instant reaction to your guy from the control. The mechanic of a free special every 10 seconds is weird to get used to, but it's like a bomb in a shooting game. You need to keep using it to stay on top of things. SoR3 is the most advanced game in terms of mechanics. But the gay guy fight is stupid, with weird music and a short awkward fight, why is it even in the Japanese version...? Music has some real stinkers in sor3. Someone needs to go in and put some bangers in their place, especially the disco. Pixel art is a bit crappy in sor3. But they expanded the mechanics of that game each time.
It’s funny that you mention this new found love for the genesis version. I’m going through the same thing right now except the other way around. I played the hell out of the genesis version when I was a kiddo and only played a little bit of the snes version. lol. Here lately I’ve been playing the snes mk2 like crazy. Great video man! 👍
Also love the 32x version how despite the graphical enhancements still retains the grittiness of the Genesis version.
It really is the best version. At the time it was huge disappointment because they could have made it a lot closer to the arcade, but its actually incredible.
@@MrAhuraMazda yeah with the extra power of the 32x you'd think it would've rivaled the arcade a bit more. Fantastic entry in the series though.
@Neotank22000 it very easily could have been arcade perfect minus some sprite sizes. Its already really close, the only setbacks are using the Genesis for music (which is an endearing feature now), backgrounds and some bizarre sound omissions (sub zeros ice, shao khan, the sound when you jump, etc). All those could EASILY have been arcade perfect.
@@MrAhuraMazda yeah and plus I heard the 32x and games were rushed to production.
Uh PC and Saturn?
I got that version of mortal kombat from my uncle for my birthday one year. I played the hell out of it and loved it
Nice, I used to play this version a lot back in the day.
YES! Same here! Nobody understands except those who did back then!
MK 2 on genesis was good for the time. Im positive MK 3 and ultimate used bigger ROM sizes.
Imagine if they made MK2 for genesis with the ROM size of ultimate MK3.
I love this version so much. I have 2 copies CIB that I got for 10 dollars each. I can easily get through the normal opponents, but Kintaro and Shao Khan are impossible! I am going to start posting gameplay of it on some CRTS that I own. Thanks for the inspiration!
You should go ahead and start I will watch
Chea!!
Man this takes me back to '95. Like I explained on another livestream THIS version was my first MK ❤ Looks great on CRT. Glad you're enjoying it 👊🏾
Excellent! And yes I really do like this version now. It almost feels new to me again 👊🏼
I always enjoyed MKII on Genesis. Sure it's missing a lot but a surprisingly fun port as well.
What would I give to experience this time again, simply beautiful 😊
MK2 on the Genesis runs smoother and does not have horrible input lag like the SNES. Also, it's not cropped.
The music and sound effects hit differently on the Sega Genesis ports of the mk games. The Sega Genesis ports of the MK games have a faster input response time; you can see it in the frame data on screen.
The one thing that I notice in comparing SNES fighting games to Genesis, is that the Genesis is pretty much always more responsive and 'punchy.' So even if the SNES had more colors or different-sounding music, voices, etc. the Genesis tended to have better gameplay. And of course, the 6-button controller was the best fighting game controller at the time. Superior D-pad and best button configuration.
the first time i played MK2 it was on the Genesis and on a similar sized TV back in 1994, 4th grade, in my friend's room.
There's just something about SEGA Genesis versions of certain games, That were for all consoles. They just hit differently. Mortal Kombat 1 soundtrack is just more eerie on SEGA. Plus you got the blood unlike SNES. I played both versions. But it's just as iconic on Sega, MK2 is cool on SNES as well
I remember renting these from blockbuster for the weekends!
I was raised off the mortal Kombat 2 super Nintendo version but I also like the Sega Genesis version of mortal Kombat 2 as well very very good 💯🔥🔥🔥
I had mk2 on both the Genesis and 32x back in the 90s. Great times. Glad you like the console versions.
Both great versions 👊🏼
I grew up with the genesis version. One of the things I liked about this version was the music lol pair that with the darker color scheme and its a more sinister version of MK2.
The only good thing about the Genesis version of MK 2 is the Fatality word animation and humming sound.
But for me, I’ve been a Nintendo guy almost all my life so when I saw the perfect 5.0 score in the GamePro magazine of MK 2 for SNES.
I walked 5 miles to the Electronics store to buy MK 2 for SNES and I didn’t care if it had pillow sound.
What I did care that the SNES port was so close to the arcade port and played it for hours on my CRT TV with the volume at its max.
I had lots of fun growing up
😊😊😊😊😊
Hey now, the genesis version also has Fergality. Beat that, Nintendo
I don’t know why, but the Genesis is my favorite way to play MKII and MK3, even more so than the Arcade1up (which I also love). I even got a Genesis fight stick for it lol
The Genesis OST is much better than the arcade, gives you a more dark and powerfull vibe.
There's nothing like playing classic games on a CRT monitor. I have a 35 inch monitor I had since 2003.
But you got the Genesis 2, that one has a butched sound chip that cheapens the audio quality. Try to get the first Genesis if you want a real Yamaha, top notch quality sound for your MK2.
I like playing MK2 on my Genesis with the Defrag code activated.
Invincibility, 1 hit kills, Shang Sung with all the morphed characters unlocked. The best version of MK2 is the Genesis version.
BONKEY DONK version!
All jokes aside, you should try playing the Mortal Kombat II: Arcade Edition 32X mod. It even plays on the 32x hardware with a Mega EverDrive.
When you started playing this port I knew you'll get it eventually lol
I grew up playing this on my Genesis back in the day, hours and hours on summer breaks with friends, family and such ❤
Yeah it’s awesome I can’t deny it. But it did have to grow on me, bottom line is it’s VERY fun and because of that I can’t get enough lol thanks for the comment 👊🏼
genesis version absolutely did not get enough love in it's day, growing up with both MK1 and MK2 on there I became accustomed to those funky soundtracks. It was the version my friends and I had and we were completely oblivious to the general conseus of the SNES versions superiority.
Sega Genesis version with the XBAND modem. Great memories. 😎👍
I have to agree with what darryl said. For me its the other way around. I grew up with the genesis, hence as i am now older, i appreciate the snes version more
I prefer this port compared to the snes, because of it's faster gameplay, improved resolution, and better cheat codes. The lack of rom hacks for the snes port compared to the genesis raises questions about it's superiority, at the end of the day.
MK2 Genesis started it all for me, dad rented it for us regularly
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing! 👊🏼
Great vid, man! MKII is my fave MK. I still love it above all others and play it sometimes on my MegaDrive or on PSP via PicoDrive emulator. The funny thing is I play 3-button activator mode always)) It's a habit I guess
Yeah, music and overall in-game atmosphere were definitely better on Genesis/Mega Drive. Personally, I even like the colors better on Gens. There's however one aspect of the gameplay missing in this port: low jab is non existent. :/ You get an uppercut regardless of the punch button. No big deal, I guess. :)
Remember being like 4 years old playing on this version with our genesis that broke
I remember buying it new back in the day and I think it was the first version of Mk2 I ever played. So, yea it has that nostalgia to it to me.
I haven’t watched a second if this but, showing love to two of my favorite things? There is no way that I am not going to enjoy this video.
It plays well. This happened to me during the 90’s. SNES is still the best but, when I had the Genesis version it was like playing a new game.
IMO as a SEGA fan and our beloved 6-Button controller rivaled the SNES version despite the better graphics and sound, that controller was great for all fighting games. I'm 43 now owned my Genesis in 1992, back then graphics was a major selling point, 2024 not so much anymore. I love the pixel art and sprites the Sega Genesis produces especially when upscaled properly using something like a retro-tink, those graphics really pop out on a modern display. SEGA games were always more exciting for me. Also because of the SEGA Genesis limited color palette, I feel it has a nice 16-bit retro look, lots of nostalgic feelings.
Well the blast processing feature did actually exist, and it was a special data bus to the palette memory that bypasses and overrides all other traffic, only used in h-black interval periods. Making the palette memory extremely fast. At just 128B (compared to the snes 512B), it's the most expensive memory type used in the system as much as 10x the cost and speed of vram for instance.
It's worth noting, however, that the snes palette addresses number 16 in total, which in all but two modes, use only half the available memory space. Making the snes palette availability precisely double that of the Mega Drive.
Yea I didn’t have SNES as a kid…. So I got MKII for sega genesis. Matter of fact I got sega genesis and MKII for my 8th Christmas. I played the game every day all day nonstop.
...Now you NEED to try out the Mortal Kombat II Unlimited (MK2 Mod) game for the Sega Genesis/Sega Megadrive!
The Sega Genesis version of MKII was the first version I played.
The missing sounds and animation frames all could have been included on the Genesis version, but it all comes down to the price of manufacturing game cartridges back then. The larger the size of the game rom, the more it cost to manufacture. Sacrifices were made to keep profits up and manufacturing costs down. Thats my when MK III came out on the Genesis more was included. Midway spent extra to use lager capacity game cartridges so not nearly as much content would have to be cut.
Excellent! I remember as kids we'd scoff at the Genesis version for the lack of colors and sound compared with the SNES, same here love the grittiness from the Genesis' hardware limitations, plus I like the music better on the opponent select screen better than the SNES.
It's the chunkyness of how it sounds and feels
Thanx to you, am now calling raidens torpedo skinny marmalade you should totally put that on a t-shirt 👕
That is the way I am with MK1. Was definitely a SNES kid and I always thought the snes mk1 was better. But nowadays, while i still dont love the game itself the soundtrack is amazing. Love it
MK2 on Genesis was the home version I had back in 1994. I never had a Super Nintendo cause I was a Sega kid back in the day. MK2 on Genesis is dope!!
I grew up with MK2 on Genesis, and my friend had the Snes version ... I'm kinda the opposite of you haha
Very cool
It's also worth mentioning as far as audio that Sega for weird with their variants of Sega Genesis models. The Best sound comes from the original Genesis with the headphone jack. The model 2 is always said to have worse sound, but that's not entirely true. With the model 2 if you flip over and look in the bottom vent, if the vent is mostly silver colored you have a better version of the model 2 but need a stereo cable. Audio still as good as the model 1 but it's better than the variant of the model 2 where you see a little to about half of the silver metal plate going across those vents and the Genesis model 3 have worse audio quality so, you kinda gotta know your Sega hardware, weird but I guess that's how they cut the cost to make it more affordable.
Sounds like you know your MK though
nice, i got it for ten bucks at a blockbuster and played it like crazy back in the day
Had this on Mega Drive & loved it. Upgraded to the 32x version after that. BTW, you can do Melina's swallow fatality (alt way). You need to press HK+BLK rapidly up close
I'd like to see/hear more about any bugs and exploits. I learned how NOT to spam Kung Lao's slicer fatality unless you wanted to lock up and ruin your game.
Enjoyed the video! I still have all MK carts on my Mega Drive. I always liked MK2 the most, because of the color palette it uses. I remember first playing it when I was 6 years old, and I didn't know English then, couldn't understand what Shao Kahn was saying :D
The Genesis version was its own thing. It was a vibe. The SNES version is king but the Genesis version is good for what it was.
This is the best port!
PC port was miles ahead of all the others.
It plays closer to the arcade, it's just missing the bells and whistles.
Hi Daryl have you seen the trailer for ultimate mortal kombat deception someone put up 3 days ago ? They added new characters and it has online
I don't know if you've ever gotten the suggestion... but have you ever played the TVGAMES PLUG & PLAY version of MORTAL KOMBAT 1? Very interesting port to say the least if you wanna try it and split hairs in comparison. It's better than SNES and SEGA versions. If you think the SEGA version has an appeal now, try it out. It's enhanced for sure. Not like the Rom Hack of SEGA MK1 "Arcade edition "but pretty darn upgraded.
Yeah I saw a video about that. It's just Mortal Kombat on a control pad isn't it? But a totally unique port.
@@iwanttocomplain yeah it's pretty darn good. Order you two of em if you're smart. That's the only way to play 2 player.
Daryl check out the 32X version if you can. It's basically the Mega Drive/Genesis version, with better colours, music and more frames of animation.
Probably because you're just playing it and enjoying it without wishing it was what it could've been.
Nice. I'm still think the snes version is more enjoyable (because of content and being less insane difficult), but I like the sega genesis version for the same reason as you, for it's unique music and feeling. About content, sure the Sega Gen has less colors, but the lack of speach and the shadows are not exactly a question of hardware limitations, but more a cartridge storage limitation. MKII for Sega Gen is 2 Mb in size, and Snes version is 3mb. Back them all the third party developers had to ask for Sega or Nintendo about the cart size, and them the owners of the system give the developper authorization for 1, 2, 3, 4 Mega Bytes or whatever. On Mk3 both systems have 4Mb cartridges, so they share almost the same content (some diferences because of restrictions of colors and resolutions on each system). In Sega Gen MkII the developers made the obvious choice: short storage you first cut voices and sound effects, them cut some graphics (the ending scenes), all to keep most of the backgorunds and characters. If the storage was even shorter them they could cut characters. Sega and Nintendo produced the cartridges, and they had to manage theyr stock and disponibility for each project. An example of this is the European version of Fatal Fury Special on SNES. The jap and USA version had a 4 Mb cartrige, and the EU version is only 3Mb, so they cut some characters and stages to make the game fit. Probally Nintendo was shorted of 4Mb carts so they allowed just 3M for the European version.
Waiting for the retrovision component cable , to get the best visuals from my model 1 , A/V cable’s quality is muddy on my lcd
Yeah, this is what i had. Sometimes i would turn the volume down, and put on the radio.
Still wish i could battle you. Been at least a decade or longer..
Define Nostalgia: Watch this video. Love this upload, brother. As you're already aware, this is the version I had at home, and it was all because i didn't have an extra $10 to buy the SNES Version. I've no regrets. As you mentioned, it has its own appeal. Graphically, musically, and the sound effects. MK2 on the Genesis is Nostalgic pleasure.
Like listening to Burt Backarach records. RIP Feb. 2024 aged 94. A true great.
Definitely has its appeal, feels new again to me.. to think, because of 10 dollars your entire life has changed! Ok ok maybe not but still, your MK2 story would’ve been way different otherwise lol thanks for the comment brother 👊🏼
Nostalgia: 'a sentimental longing or wistful affection for a period in the past.'
A sentiment, which is specific to yourself, based on romanticised (inaccurate) memories of the past and given an (inaccurate) favourable opinion/review, based on personal bias.
I play and rate games based on my current re-assessment of their qualities. Even if I played it when I was younger.
Why did these seem so easy as a kid I remember beating the game no problem not anymore but back then yes
I play MKII on Genesis often
Played both back then but the gritty sounds sega have always sounded better to me back then and even the controls as tough as they were to master, once umk3 came around sega felt more smooth to me
You were saying that the hardware for the Genesis was inferior because it came out 2 years before. I actually disagree with you totally here. I find that the genesis hardware is far more advance than the Snes hardware. The fact that you can attach a Sega CD, 32 X & the Sega Base Converter to it already makes it better.
I would sat about 90% of the multi plats are better on the Genesis then they are on the Snes. On the Snes you just have graphics & sound. However the gameplay is terrible along with the controls. Genesis handles the gameplay a lot better. The Genesis won't slow down at all if there are like 6-8 people on the screen at the same time. Some games Genesis has more levels. Also the Snes in beat em ups will limit the number of characters on the screen because it can't handle it. Sport games are far better on the Genesis as well.
You should try Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It's a Great Sega Genesis Hack.
I am so glad that I owned this 16-bit version before the SNES conversion.
I adore the SNES version.
It has a visual charm that is undeniable.
However, the Sega Genesis version truly pushes it's hardware to the limit, making the gamer a better reflex-fighter than the SNES version ever did.
MK 2 is nostalgic gaming bliss...
"Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis is the best game ever."
Some games on certain consoles just seems like that pair of pants that fits just right and others don't seem to fit as well and this is one of those. The Sega Genesis was a console that was purposefully marketed to the older crowd. Tom Kalinski once said: "Let's leave Mario and Nintendo for the kids and let's go after the teen and college age gamers." Nintendo realized, then, they were losing their edge to Sega and their pride couldn't allow them to be outdone. These were several ruthless American businessmen that thought they'd owned the market. They were known for and described as "using fear tactics" to keep devs and publishing companies in check because they knew they owned the market the share, but they were losing that. Peter Main was something like seriously offended over this and Howard Lincoln thought he was doing the community a favor by "sanitizing" Mortal Kombat. It was a move to win over gamer moms. Lincoln didn't even want Mortal Kombat on the Nintendo period but knew it was such a big game he had to do something. But Peter Main knew what was at stake and with Mortal Kombat II, they knew the time had come to make a major decision in a shifting market and whether Nintendo would remain relative or not. So, they began allowing it but really tried to downplay it by using the other shiny object to keep their reputation.
So, that's kind of how it was. What kind of gamer were you? Did you want a tyrant and back a tyrant or did you back someone that gave you options and freedom as a gamer to act your age? It just seemed to fit better and was more natural on Sega. Sega was the edgy console. The rebel. Even looking at the Genesis cartridge vs the Super Nintendo cartridge conveys "I'm for the rebels, to go against the grain, to be a colonial and give the tyrant King the middle finger." Earthworm Jim 2 others will say is better on Super Nintendo, maybe, but there a lot of gamers that pass up the Super Nintendo version and go for the Sega Genesis version, again, because it is just a game that has that edgy rebellious feeling. Almost like you had to hide the Genesis from your parents and play it at night and then you'd play the Super Nintendo during the day just to throw your parents off. Actually, for the longest time, when I was a kid, Mortal Kombat was the only game forbidden in our house so I had to smuggle it in the house like an inmate smuggling drugs into a prison hoping my schoolbag wouldn't get searched. Once Columbine High School happened, that ruined my gaming life because I couldn't play much of anything after that. Resident Evil was gone. I lost so many copies of that game my dad caught me playing and made me throw away and one day he heard a gun shot playing Syphon Filter at my grandma's, a Teen rated game, and made us shut that off too. It was horrible. My dad didn't want games influencing us to become like that and him have to be the parent to explain and be that parent so, it sucked. I knew I wasn't that kind of kid, but Howard Lincoln had the government telling parents Nintendo was doing it right and that games like that didn't belong in our society and my dad took the bait so, I had to go to my friend's house that had those kinds of games and experience them there. So, yeah, there ya have it. It may not be the better version of the game but, it's a technological feat actually. Look how close games were to the Super Nintendo when the Super Nintendo was new enough to have a chance to blow the Genesis out of the water but the Genesis kept up, Sega found ways to market the games to compete with a console that was almost speced better and Sega kept socking them right in the nose, against all odds, Sega challenged Nintendo that was seen as couldn't be beaten and showed the world there were options and a bigger world. And in many instances, the game still ran better on the Genesis than it's Super Nintendo counterpart. Street Fighter II is a perfect example as the faster CPU of the Genesis ran smoother than the Super Nintendos chuggy version, it was watching David challenge Goliath and be winning for a long time. I think ultimately in the end the Super Nintendo still came back and outsold the Genesis by a few units but even the packaging and the hardware vs the SNES version, the look of that alone just says "I'm the game your parents warned you about and the good guys tried to throw me away, but here I am, I preserved and made it! PLAY ME!" I don't care if the Super version is said to look better, it's not by much and I personally still think the Genesis version sounds better. There are some games that you say Nintendo sounds better. If it has an orchestral kind of score? Yup, Super Nintendo, no argument and I'll bow to Nintendo every time, but it's still synthesized sound, it's not the kind of quality you'd hear on a CD or cassette tape but it was as close as you can get. It doesn't really sound like everyone says it does, but it's as close as you'd get at that time. But then, there's that punchy thumpy power bass and techno bass drum and gritty sound of that Yamaha chip the Genesis that got you jacked up like injecting shark adrenaline or something that got you ready to whoop somebody's butt that sounded so cool the SNES chip, that would later challenge Nintendo in their own console and Nintendo had to find someone else to design their sound chips. And guess who they went to? It didn't even have a sound chip, the CPU did the work juggling the rest of the tasks so, yeah. Some games just belong.
For Xbox gamers, you could tell them all day long the version they were playing was inferior to the PlayStation counterpart, but it goes in one ear and out the other because to them, they remember LAN parties with Halo, that's all they know and remember and their parents electric bill through the roof housing those things and then trying to get the smell of teenage swass and Doritos feet out of their house after have ten to twelve kids in their house all night long, that's what they remember. You could show them the anti-aliasing inferiority or the screen tearing defects or the chuggy framerate that runs buttery smooth on the PlayStation, and they don't care. To this VERY DAY Microsoft abuses their consumer fanbase with lies and deceit, picking their pocket every chance they get, when the rest of the consumer world is telling them they're a whipped Labrador, and like that Labrador, Xbox gamers have that same loyalty. They don't see and realize that's how they're being treated, because they don't want to come to that realization, it's like being told you've been raised an Evangelical your whole life and you're told that they misinterpreted the Bible and that they identified there were some things wrong with Catholicism that don't belong and never did, but that you still allowed yourself to be deceived by a guy whose ultimate goal was to make money to live fancier than his congregation and lets his congregation suffer while he's a Billy Graham that has a couple of houses, sports cars, and a private jet.... Xbots can't let themselves come to grips with the fact their choice of publisher has been exposed as a fraud, because they can't let go of those LAN party nights with Halo.
That's my point. The Super Nintendo version maybe is superior, in some areas that's subjective to personal taste but, Mortal Kombat is one of those franchises that just belongs best or fits best on the edgy Sega Genesis. It's the console that stood for you against the corporate giant that oppressed the rest of the community and seemed to have the right too considering they took an industry that had previously failed and was nothing and revived it and turned it into something and I think for gamers that really know, no matter what their preference of console is today, there's still that respect or that you have to acknowledge that we wouldn't be where we are today without Nintendo. However, we wouldn't have Xbox or we wouldn't have PlayStation or maybe even Valve and Epic Games type platforms without Sega being the anti-establishment who knows what we'd have today had Sega not come along, and more specifically Tom Kalinski, to take the industry and shake things up and try something out there, which remember when Sega came to Tom, he was making Barbie Dolls and He-Man action figures, you would have expected that same thing as he would've been kid friendly because that was his background, but the thing with Tom was he had a BIG ear. He was known for collecting data and surveying people to see what they really wanted and encouraged his staff to do the same and they learned on their mall tours what teenagers were like, what they wanted and Tom knew how to take those results and build a business model around it and then trust that developers and game designers knew what they were doing. You dont have to be smart to run a business or be a corporate powerhouse, you just have to surround yourself with smart people and trust in their knowledge and experience and while Tom was smart, he still surrounded himself with really smart people.
This is probably going to be way over the character limit and thus tell me my argument is invalid, RUclipss polite way of saying the comment was too long so, we'll see.......
I'd add as well, the extra chips on the SNES version also made them more expensive than their Genesis counterparts
I do have both versions just because they said the SNES version was the superior but, I don't play it nearly as much as the Genesis version
Great video
Try it with 3 buttons controller, there are some differences
Are you related to Shang Tsung?!
This was epic!
Thanks Bends 👊🏼

Lo mejor Mortal Kombat
I never liked the Genesis/Megadrive sound in the past but I gotta agree it works for certain games really well. It's a specific atmosphere.
By the way have you seen the "Ultimate Mortal Kombat Deception trailer that just dropped"? :

I admit I still don't like the music in the Genesis versions of Mortal Kombat, sounds too tinny/weak drum beats to me. Some games got amazing music out of the Genesis (Target Earth comes to mind) but MK was not one of them (IMO). That said though it's still a fun game and works well.
