I don't think its all that complicated. They just wantd 2 put out the 1st 3 mortal kombats.
MK4 not being there has nothing to do with the game being Zeus or whatever. It isn't there because it doesn't belong there, with the legitimately 2D games. 1-2 and 3 marked an era... an era that was broken by MK4, even if it was an arcade game. It just belongs in a different category.

THANK You! Thats exactly the problem here they are all Mortal Kombat Arcade Classics regardless. The Title does say MK Arcade Collection so it should have been released with this collection as well.I totally agree it would have been nice if they did indeed include MK3 and 4 in this collection so we can have a pure Arcade collection game...for those of you that dont know I tweeted Boon which goes by Noobde on via twitter yesterday and this is what he tweeted back in regards to MK4 not being in this collection:I think the problem here is the title of the kollection..."MK Arcade Kollection". This implies that MK1, MK2, MK3, UMK3, & MK4 would be included. (I would totally love for this to have been the Kollection in its pure arcade form.) However, I'm grateful that we are getting what we are getting!!!
I was at the PDP tournament and spoke with Ed Boon and a senior manager from PDP. Long story short, they implied that MK4 could be added to the kollection at a later time. My guess would be when MK10 comes out which makes sense.
However, I think that MK3 should be in this kollection, yes UMK3 is the completed version of the game, but there are some elements in MK3 that were really cool that we wont get to see in UMK3.
Just my $0.02
Well thats easy...Dont Play It...even if they did release as DLC for Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection dont buy it and or dont play itNo, I don't think MK4 should have been added to the Arcade Kollection.
Now, this is a little biased because I absolutely HATE HATE HATE :x MK4.
But come on, It's for the Klassics. MK1, MK2, UMK3.. that's it.
MK4 is where they turned shit 3D and killed off alot of people and added in new, generic ones.

I'm sorry but I'm getting sick and tired of people bashing MK4. Most of you weren't even old enough to play the game in the arcade when it came out. Did the game age well? No not really but at the time it was pretty ground breaking. If you don't like it, don't play it. You can't deny the games place in MK history.
I look at MK4 like this...Rocky 5 was the weakest movie of the series but that's only because Rocky 1-4 were extraordinary. By itself, Rocky 5 was a pretty good movie that was overshadowed by the previous Rocky movies. The same logic applies to MK4.
My first ever MK was MK 4, so i am a bit disappointed that they didnt put that into the collection.And I dont know why everyone says its bad, i had some really good times with MK4

MK4 isnt in this release because 13-14 years later, the MK4 Arcade Revision 3.0 has still never been fully emulated. The Zeus hardware is very tricky, which is crazy to think about since this is again, 13-14 years later.
