MK 3-This one played nearly identical from what I recall on both, though again the SG being slightly faster. MK 2-Nin pretty much learned from their mistake and said fuck it, let it rock all out and pretty much destroyed the SG version as a result, better gameplay, graphics, sound and 100% arcade accurate. However, gameplay wise the game felt better on SNES than the Sega G which again felt too fast.

MK 1-Ok, the Sega version winded up selling more due to the infamous blood code which Sega hid in the game so the fatalities were like the arcade and this gave them an edge on the SNES version of MK since at the time, Nin was very anti blood, violence etc.

At my house, my friend's place down the block we'd play for hours every day, looking for EGM and Nintendo Power for the secret finishers, fatalities, animalities, friendships etc(back before the days of the internet)Ĭomparing each game in terms of accuracy to the arcade port. I played both a lot, I have to say out of all of them for both consoles. Gameplay, ok the gameplay is pretty smooth on both but I feel like the SG version is MK on speed(some people like that, I don't personally) the SNES version felt a lot more like the arcade to me than the SG version in terms of closeness to the arcade port gameplay wise. Neither were arcade exact port accurate but the SNES cleary does the better job. The SNES version had much better sound, more accurate to the arcade. Sega sounded tinsey, higher pitched just sounded weird. Sound, again something the SNES version does better than the SG easily. MK looks better on the SNES than Sega, better graphics, colors etc easily. Graphics, the differences are pretty obvious when you have them side by side. But yeah SNES controller was perfect for MK and SF, but especially for MK with the block being in the perfect spot and HP, LP,HK, LK etc being much better than the SG controller. Better controller, I think this goes without saying vs the SG controller which only had 3 buttons and start to block was just not practical and then they realized this so they made the 6 button controller. Up until today many fans still play Mortal Kombat 3.Overall I like the SNES version better of MK over Sega for these reasons:

All in all many fans say that Mortal Kombat 3 was the best game in the series franchise. Some reviews also said that Mortal Kombat 3 suffered from lackluster gameplay and needlessly finishing moves like animality and some crappy character designs. It also avoided the previous tournament story line of its predecessors and opting for as various warriors instead fight against the returning Shao Khan and hos resurrected bride Sindel that has started the invasion of the Earth realm.Īlthough Mortal Kombat 3 was commercially successful many disliked the inclusion of of the less appealing new characters which took the placed of established characters like Scorpion and Kitana. It has added new characters and omitted some well known characters from the previous game. A combo was also added and a run bottom to dash the other player. It was a direct sequel to Mortal Kombat 2 and introduced 2 fatalities and babality also a new finishing move called animality, where the character will transform into an animal before killing off the defeated opponent. It was later released to different consoles in the following years. Mortal Kombat was a fighting game introduced in 1995 as an arcacde game and was published by Williams Entertainment now known as Midway Games. Now I really wish I had a Sega Genesis Console to be able to try it out and experience playing it in this console. When I was holding this game I remembered fondly having played this when I was still a kid but in an arcade and a different console.

It was still complete, it has a box, cartridge, and a game manual. Mortal Kombat 3 was also one of the games that was included in the bunch of Sega Genesis games that was brought to me by one of my worker.
