As you can see, <a href="http://www.wbie.com">Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment</a> will be pulling out all the stops with building custom arcade-style cabinets for demoing the game at the meeting. The mockup images of the cabinets feature the well-known classic <b>Midway</b> design, a <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/kombat-20/detail/B001M22WN8">MadCatz tournament arcade stick</a> and a large LCD screen attached above the cabinet for crowd viewing.
Here's hoping that the kiosks / arcade cabinets make it to actual <b>GameStop</b> stores!
In addition to this GameStop employee only event, the public will also be able to play Mortal Kombat soon! We've gotten word that <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_2011">Mortal Kombat (2011)</a> will be playable at <a href="http://www.gamescom.de/en/gamescom/home/index.php">GamesCom Germany</a> next week, as well as at <a href="http://shoryuken.com/content/seven-additional-characters-confirmed-mortal-kombat-9-1391/">PAX Prime 2010 in Seattle</a> early next month. This cabinet could make an appearance at those events as well if it's been created already. We hope to hear from fans once they get their hands on the game.
