First stop seems to be always the <b>Mortal Kombat</b> friendly <a href="http://www.gameinformer.com">Game Informer</a>. <b>GI</b> got some time with the <b>Wii</b> fighter and put together some <a href="http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200703/N07.0320.1625.37484.htm">impressions</a> and a few more tidbits.
Under the oversight of <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_shaolin_monks/">Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks</a> producer, <b>Shawn Himmerick</b>, <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_armageddon/">MK: Armageddon</a> for the <b>Wii</b> will feature exclusive additions to the <b>PlayStation 2</b> and <b>Xbox</b> versions. Exclusives include, a <b>training mode</b> that teaches <b>special moves</b> and how to link them, an <b>Endurance Mode</b> similar to the mode featured in <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mkd/unchained/">Mortal Kombat: Unchained</a> for the <b>Sony PSP</b>, and the addition of <b>Khameleon</b>. In addition, a new basic move is introduced allowing the player to <b>"lie down flat"</b> in order to avoid any <b>projectiles</b> or <b>high attacks</b>, while still being left open for <b>low attacks</b> and <b>ground slams</b>. Another small detail revealed was the use of the <b>Wii remote</b> speaker, as a sound will confirm the entry of a <b>special move</b> using the <b>B button</b> and arm motions.
