Note: I would really like to get some more community involvement in the "Sales of the Day" threads and articles. So please vote in the polls, comment, and if you have any links to any relevant information about the games sales (things like a link to marketing budget, or a video of an advertisment that was representitive of how the game was marketed, etc.) I will include you in a thank you section at the bottom of the article when it is posted. Thanks!

Mortal Kombat II

Description: Mortal Kombat II released on the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo in 1994, and was well known by the general audience for the extreme violence featured in the game, including the "fatalities" finishing moves. Despite the controversy (or perhaps because of it) the combined platform sells for the game totaled nearly 4.5 million copies. So why do you think that is, was it because of the controversy from the degree of violence, was it because it was a good game or something else? Vote in the polls in the second post and then leave a comment letting us know what you think.
