Mortal Kombat 1 Conan The Barbarian DLC Update Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

I maintain there should be a Conan O’Brien alt costume with new dialogue for this character.

But where is the lamentation of their women?

Probably won't be long until they add Spawn. Hopefully.

@Waveboy They had one during the 360 / PS3 days! I had it, and played it often. No idea why it didn't make the jump to this gen, or why it isn't backwards compatible on Xbox.

As far as playing at home, I'd vouch for one of the many Arcade 1Up MK cabinets on the market. Got one on clearance at WalMart for $99 around five years ago, and while I don't play it much, I just turn it on sometimes to let the attract mode run. And I love the original MKII arcade art on the sides, featuring Raiden.

Though, truthfully, I play the original 3 MK games on my Sega Genesis more than anything else - despite owning that arcade cabinet! Old habits die hard ^_^

@Ein I feel like he's a shoo-in for Injustice 3

@Waveboy We're very much on the same page

Regarding Arcade 1Up, the price point is key. For the hundred bucks I paid for mine, I'm thrilled! But if I had bought it at full price, or paid what they ask for them now (three, four, five hundred - or more) I might have a different opinion. But the screen and controls do the job, and most importantly, have not broken down after a half-decade of regular use. That's more than I can say for some consoles I've owned...

I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the classic MK games across any of the consoles of the time. Different strengths and weaknesses, but fun to play all the same. But I will say this - that Super Nintendo version of MKII is special. It just felt like they really got everything right with that port, and the Genesis version absolutely pales in comparison! By the time MK3 came around, though, it was a much closer race. It helps that both the SNES and Genesis ports had the same developer (Sculptured Software?) and I think they really got the most out of each console version. For the Sega one, I was stunned by how many voice clips they managed to include, scratchy as they were. But wow, is that SNES one a real looker!

Nice talking to you! I think I'll fade back into the background now - the regular readers might prefer if this conversation shifted back towards current MK games. Then again, maybe not ~_^

That game is so boring.

His fighting style doesn’t do the MK animation and game feel any favors like hollllly ***** is this dull. I’d rather have this Conan in a beat-em-up.
@MirrorFate2
MK is perpetually screwed they all sell well so they’ll always have the same boring look and feel despite some changes to character designs and story, they’ve also properly screwed themselves out of hitting the reboot button again.

@MirrorFate2 definitely the most boring mk of the NRS trilogy . it’s been downhill ever since MKX, but at least MKX was fun to say the least

@SalvorHardin i think the same boring look & feel only started with MK11. i was massively disappointed when i saw the MK1 reveal & how much it looked & played like MK11

Is MK1 now in a playable state? It's on discount at the moment and i'm tempted to buy it.

Shame they couldn't get Arnold again

@TomSupreme yeah, its now at a much more playable state and looks significantly better than it did on launch. After all the patchwork Shiver has done i'd even go as far as to say that its a better port than MK11 was.

I suggest you to look up videos on it, several people always make them on MK1 Switch updates if you wanna see the difference yourself!

I may be in the minority, but honestly I've never been a fan of these random movie guest characters. I think it's because partially, these characters were not in my era and feels more like it's just Boon living out his childhood dreams. Plus many of them just feel so misplaced in the world of MK.

Anyways, I'd rather the time be spent on bringing back old characters instead.

"featuring the likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger"

agree to disagree 🧐

It will be such a waste if Conan, after winning a match against Sub-Zero, doesn't say "He was Sub-Zero. Now? PLAIN ZERO."

@Itachi2099 Sounds good, thank you 👍

Im into Tekken myself but good luck ripping off spines MK sissies/bros!

@SalvorHardin To be fair, at least I can understand his combo flow from the trailer alone.

Guy fights like Tusk from KI3, so he looks right at home for me.

even with dlc characters wont save this broken game.

NintendoLife commenters continue their noble crusade against fun, popular games.

@Bratwurst35 I am not a fan of the amount of guest characters in MK either and I have met few people that are.

If they want to do a all guest film figter game great but no more in MK please

@Waveboy Apparently they’ve tried quite a few times but in the end Warner Bros. stopped them from happening. There was a remake of the original trilogy that was proposed by fans, had a prototype and received very positive reception from Netherrealm but Warner Bros killed it because the devs weren’t “experienced”. (They even had the audacity to tell them that after getting the team’s hopes up and saying that a greenlight was likely)

@cedarhyped Fun, popular, MK1??

Seems you're the one who's not aware.

@Waveboy

Warner Bros. Games own publishing rights, not NetherRealm Studios. The developing studio have to be granted the greenlight from the publisher to move forward with such project.

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot he's on MK 11

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot Spawn was a guest in 11. I could be wrong but I don't recall them having recurring guest characters in the main games.

@timp29 SAME I wanted to know the same thing. Classic line. That's like cutting out "Not just the men, but the women and children too!" from Anakin Skywalker's little murder confession.

He seems a better fit for Soul Caliber tbh

@Roibeard64 is soulcalibur still around, they had 6 but that was around 8 years ago. I'm not a fighting game person as I get tired of them quickly so maybe I'm out of the loop.

@MirrorFate2

Fun: Subjective. As a fighting game fan, it has been pretty fun for me.

Popular: Sold more than 4 million units, just like Street Fighter 6. Good numbers for fighting games.

Not seeing how the other person is the unaware one.

Unfortunately, Conan is not playable on the Nintendo Switch version for now. Hopefully the devs can fix this soon.

@speedyb "It will be such a waste if Conan, after winning a match against Sub-Zero, doesn't say "He was Sub-Zero. Now? PLAIN ZERO."
Or his line from Batman and Robin where he plays Mr freeze and says "your not sending me to the cooler" 😂

there's now a secret fight against a new ninja named Floyd, can't manage to trigger it, but I've gotten on-screen pop-ups teasing it.

You should update your post, Conan is still not available for switch users

I can't play as him. It says that this dlc is in early access and must have purchased the chaos reigns expansion in order to play it. I have it and it won't work. Anyone else having this problem?
