Mortal Kombat Officially Coming to PlayStation Vita in Spring

The UMK3 ninjas look exactly like the crappy toys Jazwares made. They probably added those to the Vita version, because they didn't think a new challenge tower would be enough to attract new buyers, it's actually a smart business move.

I was planning to get the Vita since the handheld was announced, so there's no reason for me to complain about them not being available for the console versions as well.

I'm quite pleased with what the PS3 version got, it doesn't need new kharacters or costumes, I'm glad that NRS has moved on and started working on other projects.
 
It's pretty normal for handheld versions to have something extra to compensate for the little screen and the late release. Personally, I'm OK with that... and if they announce more new content, I guess I'll be pretty tempted to get a copy for myself :D

I Jelous that the PSVita is getting everything the Xbox 360 and PS3 had plus more extra content like new mini games "Test your Balance" and UMK3 Male Ninja Palette Swaps :( i wish NRS would later have the tendency to release those outfits on the PS3 and Xbox 360 after they release it on the PSVita

I'm sorry but I'm not going to spend 250 for a portable console for a game I have on two systems already. When is the VIta going to talk about ORIGINAL games? Everything seems to be stuff that is already on console. No new IP or anything? No games MADE for the Vita? I mean I don't see anything new about the MK game worth putting it on MK for. The blood on the screen thing seem like a dumb idea. I don't want to waste time trying to wipe off my screen when I want to fight nor do I want to have to rub my damn screen smearing it like that. I just really don't like it. A friend of mine thinks I'll get one in the future but so far I see no reason to get one and to many not to and I'm not going to make the same mistake I did with the PSP. XD

Yeah i kinda agree with the wiping on the screen thing when your fighting seems kinda dumb to me also, like who is gonna want to waste time wiping the screen off when your opponet is taking you out?

The thing that i kinda dont understand about the Vita is if they have an online play, quick questions guys:
1) will Vita Players be playing on the same network and using the same chatrooms as the regular PS3 owners? If they do then i guess we PS3 owners will be playing against players who have access to all new costumes not included with MK version from the PS3 console

2) Honestly I have a PS3 and MK and im not whiling to spend 250 on something i already have..so my question is..if MK9 was one of the top selling fighting games in 2011 and lets say sales of MK on PSvita dont do good or they do good but not as much as Xbox and PS3 because mostly everyone has all DLC and the Game..do you guys think NRS might later release the extra outfits for PS3 and Xbox 360? Months later after the PSVita release?

The Vita hasn't even come out in America yet, and it's been on the market in Japan for just about a month or so. Every handheld since the Gameboy advance has released with some kind of port of one or other console game, including the recent 3DS. In a year or so, the Vita will have more stuff to call its own.
 
The blood on the screen thing is part of a mission on the new challenge tower, don't tell me that you people actually thought you had to do that in real matches lol.

The 2nd challenge tower was added to take advantage of the new features on the Vita.

2 more weeks before the Vita comes out! Get hyped!
 
Im really wanting to buy this. But i have MK9 on xbox :/. And i would feel stupid rebuying the game. Maybe if there are more features. But damn i can't believe the console versions never got UMK3 skins :'(. I bet the PSVITA version gets new arena's aswell. The ones that were missing.
 
1. UMK3 Sub Zero
2. UMK3 Scorpion
3. UMK3 Reptile
4. UMK3 Smoke
5. UMK3 Noob
6. UMK3 Ermac
7. UMK3 Rain
8. MK2 Sub
9. MK2 Scorpion
10. MK2 Reptile
11. MK2 Mileena
12. MK2 Skarlet

I think these are most likely going to happen, as they are easier to do. And since they said that DLC will have alternates too, I'll add the other two DLC characters.
13. Maybe Deception Kenshi
14. Disco Suit Freddy. whatever

That would still leave 2 more. Now since most of the characters strongly resemble their classics in either their main or alternate costumes, I don't think that they will get a classic skin. One possibility that could happen is a MK3 Cyber Smoke skin for Smoke. Another thing that could happen is a MK4 Quan Chi. That would be 16. I would rather them with the last two do something different, like the Human Reptile Skin from the MK9 art book.

I have a feeling that Rain will get a 2nd costume + UMK3 costume.
Meaning 2 costumes for Rain.

I have a slight feeling that these costumes will get released on the console versions of the game months later after they get released on the PSVita watch and mark my word ;)

Even so I completed the challenge tower on MK9. I don't care to do it again, or to complete a new one. So that really wouldn't effect me. Not to mention that doesn't effect playing against other players either. Is they gonna add anything useful? Like being able to play arcade tag ladder ONLINE? Like I said before the game would have to be something that could convince me to buy a game I already have a console AGAIN. Not to mention pay 250 for a portable I'm iffy about. So far there isn't a game on the vita I'm interested in since they seems to be games I plan on getting on console.

In Japan the Vita is in a slump and I don't see it being much different when it gets released here. The thing is the Vita seems like it's being marketed the same way the PSP was which SUCKED. I don't see anything different from the PSP method so I don't see no reason to finding a vita worthy. Not to mention Nintendo had plenty of ORIGINAL games built for the 3DS ANNOUNCED before it was even released here. I figured the Vita would have done the same by now. There are plenty of games on the 3DS that were announced a head of time that is original 3DS game and aren't ports. I just don't see no reason to give into the hype. Seems like Sony is desperate to come back into the competition, but isn't going well about it.
 
When does the PC version of Mortal Kombat come out anyway? I heard a rumor about that also that it was going to be released on the PC and the Wii as well

That's not a good reason. People b*tch either way. What is the point of putting it on the Vita? To gain more sells? Which I doubt will be much considering I doubt the Vita will sell enough to make a real profit. Or is Sony putting them up to this? Only thing I can guess on.
