| Wyrdness said: Mortal Kombat was also never revolutionary at any point it just had graphic violence in it. |
It was the most graphic video game ever released at the time, that alone got it widespread media coverage and was the reason we have ratings on videogames to this day. Any parent who raised children in the early 90's will recognize the name MORTAL KOMBAT over Zelda for that reason alone. Like I said before Zelda is HUGE in the gaming world, those outside of it aren't as familiar. Even things like "Finish Him", "Fatality" etc; people are familiar with these terms. The general population won't know what Hyrule Castle, Master Sword, or even the triforce are.
