Goatseye said: You're just arguing for the sake of it uh? Tell me which fighting game was more successful than KI upon transition from Arcade to Consoles. I'm talking about the same game, not sequel that had ridden the arcade success wave. Buy any MK collection and you see if you'll find MK1. What do people talk about when it comes to MK nostalgia? Mk2 and Mk3. |
Transiction? You said KI have a massive Arcade success... and a lot of games have more successul transiction from Arcade to Consoles... MK, KoF, Tekken, Soul Calibur, etc.
About MK (the first one) from wiki...
"Electronic Gaming Monthly awarded Mortal Kombat the title of "Most Controversial Game of 1993".[33] In 1995, the Daily News wrote, "the original Mortal Kombat video game debuted in 1992. Its combination of story line, character and mega-violence soon made it a hit worldwide. And the controversy engendered by its blood-gushing special effects only served to boost its popularity."[34] In 2007, CraveOnline ranked it second of the top ten 2D fighters of all time.[35] In 2008, Forbes called Mortal Kombat one of the "most loved arcade games" that was "king of the arcade" in its day, writing that the arcade machines of the original title go from a few hundred dollars to $2,500.[36] In 2011, Complex ranked the first Mortal Kombat as the 12th best fighting game of all time,[37] while Wirtualna Polska ranked it as the 19th best Amiga game.[38] In 2012, Time named it one of the 100 greatest video games of all time."
The first MK what the put MK on the map... MK II is the best one... you are making confusion.
MK was heavly hit worldwide to be compared with SF... KI never did that.
