Finally after long wait, the first online mode video has been revealed. In this <a href="http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/04/13/mortal-kombat-king-of-the-hill-trailer">new video over on IGN</a>, <b>NetherRealm Studios</b> Senior Producer <b>Adam Urbano</b> and Senior Software Engineer <b>Tony Smith</b> discuss the new online feature <b>King of the Hill</b>. In King of the Hill mode matches are spectated by friends which can then <b>Boo</b> or <b>Cheer</b> you along which thusly reward the players with Respect Points after the match. A nice touch is that every player can use their <b>Xbox 360 Avatars</b> or custom chosen <b>PlayStation 3 Avatars</b> and are all seen sitting and watching the game happen.

The whole thing reminds me <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Science_Theater_3000">Mystery Science Theater 3000</a>. Can't wait to get into my first King of the Hill match myself! Do you think you can meet Adam Urbano's challenge and find the hidden things in King of the Hill?

the koolest thing is that we can kreate or own "arcade" room and kick ppl from it
another kool stuff is our social profile showing KOTH stats, all the unlocked stuff and progress in the game :)
 
yes you did see someone hold up a cheese wedge, looks fun. I feel even more confident that the inputs that Ed tweeted a month or so ago are indeed for this mode as I had figured all along and not for Shao Kahn as some believe.
 
This video just makes me more and more disappointed with Marvel vs Capcom 3. NRS makes Capcom look like rookies when you compare the amount of stuff you can do in both games...
 
This game seems to be loaded with excellent features. The 1 week break I asked from work when the game will be released won't suffice, I need to ask for one more...

From the game: Team Up with A Friend and Jump Online to Challenge Other Kombatants in Mortal Kombat
more from the game: SENDING 2P KING OF THE HILL TAG CHALLENGE

also you can create private matches (password protected)
 
Looking forward to this, definitely be doing some watching online. I'll probably be playing this game a hell of a lot more than Marvel vs Capcom 3.
