Mortal Kombat 1 "Gameplay Premiere" Scheduled For 8th June

$70 at launch is steep. I'm sure the gameplay will be good, but I'll wait for a sale before picking this up.

Is it a reboot if it is directly following up 11 story-wise?

Time reset under a different set of circumstances. Doesn’t mean it’s a “reboot”, just a new universe under a new storyline.

Fighting games are already dumb expensive. You’re going to pay for this and then like three 20 to 30 dollar season passes. I’m just glad sf6 isn’t 70,, not that I mind to much with other games, but fighting games, with all the dlc the usually have, I’m less keen on the price point.

$70 on Nintendo Switch, a system with no 4K support and had to make graphical compromises to get MK11 to run. I will not be buying the Nintendo Switch version...in fact, I am not buying it at all until there is a good sale cause frankly, I am tired of these season passes just for them to launch a complete version a year or so later.

Haven't played an MK game in years. I was tempted to buy MK11 but it just didn't happen. Maybe I'll check this one later when it gets its inevitable sale discount.

@HistoricKombat I feel the same way. Keep in mind, however, that the Switch never did get a “Komplete” edition of MK11, although the other consoles did. This is why I never did buy MK11. Hopefully WB does Switch owners better this time around.

@Liam_Doolan

Nice. Good thing they all still wound up as ninjas and master assassins who need to slaughter each other otherwise we wouldn’t have a new game!

That's cool, hopefully they confirm Reptile.

I'm not too fussed about the price. I got MK11 Ultimate on the Switch eShop for like $20(all characters included and the story expansion).

I am interested how the gameplay, graphics and the characters are looking.

Teaser was great, can't wait to see everyone fleshed out.

None of the games that are technically reboots actually were reboots. Deadly Alliance felt like a new beginning as did MK 9 AKA the 2011 game but it wasn't like the characters were suddenly all new or their roles were changed. Scorpion is still scorpion and subzero is still the same guy in a different skin as well.

I really don't get the stupid name but whatever. Now we have Mortal kombat original, Mortal kombat 2011 and now Mortal kombat 1. What's next Mortal kombat part Deux the smell of death?

@mereel

Actually, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate was released for Switch in the U.S. but as a digital exclusive.

I'm pretty disappointed it's not a remake of the original as someone who preferred the earlier games. Mortal Kombat 1 is a stupid and borderline misleading name if it's not a remake.

Tbh I'd be really happy to just get a re-release/ultimate edition of Mortal Kombat Trilogy with crossplay online.

@mereel MK1 doesn't have a Premium or Kollectors edition up for pre-order on Switch, so it's already getting left behind on the handheld before it's even released.

@FishyS SF6 is $60 MSRP on current gen systems too. It will be the better game of the two.

@Ade117 - If you think that's steep, people are reporting the size is going to be about 100 GB in size.

That's another 50 bucks on the cheaper end for and SD card just to play it (assuming one won't sacrifice all other games they play to the fire).

@Chaotic_Neutral There is the premium edition for the Switch. It says so on the MK1 website and on the Eshop

@anoyonmus the Kollectors edition isn't available for Switch in Game or on Amazon. Haven't bothered looking any further as I will get it on console instead of handheld.

@Chaotic_Neutral Kollector edition is for Xbox and PlayStation only. Even PC isn’t get it.

Besides your comment said that there is no Premium or Kollector’s Edition for the Switch. That is incorrect. There is no Kollector’s edition for the Switch but there is the Premium version for the Switch.

@anoyonmus there wasn't on game when I went to pre order and Its still not showing for some reason.
Just noticed that the Switch version for base game is £5 cheaper than the consoles so I wouldn't be surprised if its either code in the box or comes with a 1gb card to keep costs down and everything else is a mandatory download.
