In addition to <b>Mortal Kombat II</b>, Gauntlet II, Joust, Rampage World Tour, Rampart and Championship Sprint were chosen to make an appearance on the <b>PLAYSTATION Network</b> specifically for their <b>multiplayer capabilities</b>. The first of the six titles will be released for download on the <b>PLAYSTATION Network</b> in <b>early 2007</b>.
It is an absolute certainty that all of these titles will feature <b>online multiplayer</b>. Given the technical success of <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/umk3/"><strong>Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3</strong></a> on <b>Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade</b> service, an <b>online multiplayer</b> version of <strong>Mortal Kombat II</strong> is truly a momentous occasion for classic arcade <strong>Mortal Kombat</strong> fans.

I'm hyped up now for sure. Time to fish for a 20GB PS3; between this and Tekken 5 DR, the PS Network downloads are looking very promising now.
