Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Final Lineup Confirmed, Includes Version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 That Has Not Been Playable Anywhere Since 1997

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection now has its final lineup of games and confirmation of a number of new features.

Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developer Digital Eclipse announced Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat Special Forces, two rare PlayStation-era titles that have been unavailable for decades, are in Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection.

Also revealed today is the Kollection’s inclusion of an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 version that has not been playable anywhere since 1997. The WaveNet edition of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was originally developed to support Midway’s WaveNet online matchmaking service for arcade machines, Warner Bros. explained.

“This unique edition was the only arcade release to feature Noob Saibot as a selectable character. Now emulated and preserved for the first time in history by Digital Eclipse, the WaveNet version debuts in Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection.”

Warner Bros. recently confirmed Mortal Kombat Trilogy, which it said has been optimized for modern platforms with “drastically reduced load times for a faster, smoother experience.”

As for new features, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has a new Rewind feature for “more forgiving” gameplay, on-screen move lists, and a Trainer mode “to help players perfect their kombos.” There’s also a Fatality Trainer, which gives players a chance to master the finishers.

• Mortal Kombat – 1992 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear)
• Mortal Kombat II – 1993 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, 32X)
