It will be available next week first on <b>North American Playstation Network</b> on <b>Tuesday, August 30th, 2011</b>, then the next day - <b>August 31st, 2011</b> - for <b>800 Microsoft Points</b> on the <b>Xbox Live Marketplace</b>, <b>$9.99 for PC on Steam</b> and <b>globally on Playstation Network</b>.

<img src="http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/800843b.jpg" style="float:left;" hspace="4" align="left">In addition, <b>GameStop</b> is offering the <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=pd2w*IOD4qM&subid=&offerid=230950.1&type=10&tmpid=7050&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestop.com%2Fxbox-360%2Faccessories%2Fxbox-360-mortal-kombat-klassic-fight-stick%2F90872">Mortal Kombat Klassic Fight Stick by PDP</a> for both <b>Xbox 360</b> and <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=pd2w*IOD4qM&subid=&offerid=230950.1&type=10&tmpid=7050&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestop.com%2Fps3%2Faccessories%2Fplaystation-3-mortal-kombat-klassic-fight-stick%2F90876">PlayStation 3</a> for <b>$129.99</b>. The stick is identical to the build of the <b>Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition Fightstick</b> released earlier with <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_2011">Mortal Kombat (2011)</a>, with the exception of a killer classic color scheme and panel graphics reminiscent of the original <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat">Mortal Kombat 1 Arcade cabinet</a>.

<b>UPDATE 8/25</b>: <b>PDP</b> has confirmed that the new klassic sticks will contain upgraded Cherry microswitches.

Since the full <a href="http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/mortal-kombat-arcade-kollection/achievements/">Achievements and Trophy list</a> leaked earlier in the summer and looks pretty easy, how quick do you think you can get all of them?

Here is the official press release, which confirms that the PC version will be available as well on downloadable services like Steam as well on the 31st.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announces the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection will officially be available for download in the United States on August 30, 2011. Launching on PlayStation®Network for $9.99, this will mark the first time the original Mortal Kombat arcade trilogy - Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - have been brought together in a single collection. On the next day, August 31, 2011, the game will also be available globally for PSN, for Xbox Live (800 MS Points) and PC ($9.99).

Developed by Other Ocean in conjunction with NetherRealm studios, the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection will feature online play, leader boards, achievements and trophies, as well as offering fans the chance to play through the games in their original arcade state.

I figured gamestop had close to the correct date. Wish there was some more info that would come out like menu options oranything of the sort
 
I've been saying for weeks that Aug 31st is the release date and that the announcement wouldn't be long after Freddy dlc. Because that's the original release date for the fight stick. Now the new release date for the fight stick according to gamestop is Aug 25th.
 
Will this game work in 16x9?

Is it just a straight up emulation, or are there any extra features?

Do we know anything at all about this game?
 
It's supposed to be close to the arcade versions as close as possible, meaning no Widescreen MK.
 
My reaction towards the release next week:

fuuuuu.gif
 
cant wait for all the insane threads about balance issues and impossible AI, next to no time to perform fatalitys, ****ing up fatalitys even though your sure you've put them in right, from all the folk who have forgotten or all the new people who haven't played before.
Its gonna be a blast for the older fans who havent got access or means of playing the arcade klassics, but to the newer, younger fans i doubt this will impress or hold up. I enjoy the klassics alot but i can see where people wont. Cant wait im off work all next week!!

Don't be silly, the PC version was announced with the Xbox and PS3 version months ago.

Can somebody who's familiar with Steam explain to me if it's something you download and can play offline or do you have to log in every time? I tried to look on their site but couldn't understand. I haven't played a game on a computer since the first prince of persia before dial up.
