28 here, I've been playing since the original MK arcade came to our local Tilt. I was hooked since I first saw Sub Zero's fatality, I gotta admit, the early 90's was the best time for arcades, we'll never see days like that again, thank god for PSN and XBL for slowly bringing all the classics(X-men arcade, TMNT 1989,MK II to name a few) to the current gen systems
I live in Vegas, there's arcades everywhere :laugh:
Although the only MK's I've found are 2 and 4.
You live in Vegas!?!?!? Thats awesome man!!!!!!

No, no it isn't lol.
Lol, why do you say that?
Old geezer like JE and Aggie here. I'm 33 and started playing MK1 just a few weeks before MK2 came out. Me and my friend Chris used to run, not walk, to Westgate mall after school to play. There were usually at least a dozen people around the machine, and it was the best feeling in the world when you'd do a fatality and hear the crowd's reaction behind you.
Then 3 came out and it was exciting at first, but I hated what they did with the story, and the new characters were not nearly on par with Mileena and Shang and the other new ones from MK2.
Then 4 came out and I played it once or twice in arcades and rented it once to play at home, but couldn't really get into it. The graphics and gameplay were so abominable that I just swore off MK and started playing Soul Calibur.
I did play Deception and liked it, but Armageddon and DCU were disappointments. I'm really looking forward to this new one. I feel like I'm in high school again.
Yep, I'm getting the scorpion retro from Gamestop, even though I prefer Sub, my wife preordered it for me. I'll probably buy the other two also when they're available, and I'll def. get the female ninjas' retros, cuz they look so good.Welcome to the old farts club haha. I'm looking forward to this release alot, but one thing i'm already not a fan of is the new look for the Ninja's. I'm glad there giving us the old school look for DLC. I also have a feeling that there's going to be alot of old school DLC and secrets in the game.
