The pack will go on sale in late Summer 2011 and retail for only <b>800 Microsoft Points</b> on the Xbox 360, or <b>$9.99</b> on the PlayStation Network and wherever the PC version will be available.

Below is the press release from <b>Warner Bros Games</b> and <b>NetherRealm Studios</b>:

Burbank, Calif. – May 12, 2011 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announces Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection for PlayStation®Network, Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC. For the first time ever, the original Mortal Kombat arcade trilogy - Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - have been brought together into a single collection which will be available for download in late summer 2011.

“We are very excited to finally have the first three Mortal Kombat games available in one download package for long-time and new fans to play,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “With the release of our 2011 Mortal Kombat, and its return to 2D game play, players have been asking for these classic titles and we are happy to deliver them.”

Developed by Other Ocean in conjunction with NetherRealm studios, the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection will offer fans the chance to play through the games in their original arcade state and rediscover all their favorite characters, fatalities and environments as well as relive some of the franchise’s most memorable secrets. In addition, this new collection will feature online play, leaderboards, achievements and trophies.

An arcade-perfect port, the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection brings players their favorite Mortal Kombat arcade classics for $9.99 on PlayStation Network or 800 Microsoft Points, to put it in arcade terms - 40 quarters ($10).

To help players create an arcade experience at home, GameStop will exclusively offer a limited run of the new Mortal Kombat™ Klassic Fight Sticks designed and manufactured by Performance Designed Products (“PDP”), creators of the sold-out Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition Fight Sticks, bundled with a code to download Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection. Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the Mortal Kombat™ Klassic Fight Sticks are available for pre-order now for $129.99 at <a href="http://www.gamestop.com">www.gamestop.com</a>.

So clearly the <a href="http://www.trmk.org/news/20632/gamestop_leaks_pdp_mortal_kombat_klassic_fight_stick.html">recently leaked Mortal Kombat 1 style arcade stick</a> was meant to go along with this release as well. We can't wait and we also feel that they nailed the pricing on this game package as well. Who's ready for some classic combat again?

<b>Update 1:20pm</b>: Pictures of the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection are now on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.210181749013230.56881.117266501638089&l=f88080f7db">official Mortal Kombat Facebook page</a>.

My life is complete. I will TOTALLY buy that arcade stick if it includes the kollection. Good stuff.
 
I think I woke my parents after seeing this.

Notice this isn't the "HD" Kollection. Either way, ****ing bad ass.

LOL I'm sure your folks were happy for you.
And yeah, this isn't the HD collection - it actually puts the HD remakes to death. At this point I don't even care though, it's an amazing package and I can't wait to get it!
 
I actually Pre-Ordered my Klassic MK1 Tournament Stick 2 days ago at my local Gamestop. Glad its Officially going to contain the MK Arcade Kollection along with it, as it was just Rumors until now.

Its not the HD Kollection guys, but that doesn't mean the HD Kollection is fully Dead either, just shelved for now.
 
Boo! No HD? What's the point I already have arcade ports I can play on a console. I was really excited for this but now not so much
 
After hearing this, it seems to me that we will see the PS2 games with an HD treatment.
The conversion will be much simpler (ALA GoW).

Just a hunch.

EDIT: Incidentally, since GameStop won't ship to my country, will anyone here be willing to help me get the Stick + game bundle? (I.e. buy a second set with money sent from me by Paypal)
 
I am so very happy about this lol. MKII was my introduction into fighting games and UMK3 was my favorite to play until this recent game was released. I'm all over this.
 
YES XBLA YESSSSSSSS THANK U NETHERREALM THANK YOU :) 800 msp?Wow Such A Deal

I Hope Secret Fights Is Still There Though And Babalitys,Friendships,Animality And Maybe Fergality?
 
While I am excited about this I have a couple of complaints

1. While a "Collection" is awesome they really should have released this separately because I already paid for MK2 on PSN and UMK3 on Xbox 360... now I gotta pay for them again?

2. WHERE THE **** IS MORTAL KOMBAT 4? Why have they refused to properly port this game?

I agree with both of these statements. The should have put MK 4 in there also. Release anything that had an arcade machine. I'm sure all you 3D haters put a stop to that though
 
AHHHHH HELL YEAH! I'm going to buy this kollection for PS3. I don't kare if its not HD. As long as I still play my klassic MK, I am good kause I would to play this online:).

Kan't wait!
 
This is great news. Since I just got a 360 in January of this year, I never got a chance to buy UMK3, only got to play it at my friend's house. Now we're getting that AND the first two games together for 800 points? This and MK9 definitely made this the year of Mortal Kombat. Thank you NetherRealm Studios, you guys rock! :hail:
