Midway's first 3D Mortal Kombat fighting game for the Sony PSP, Mortal Kombat: Unchained, is an updated version of the featured added GameCube version of Mortal Kombat: Deception. In addition to the selectable Goro and Shao Kahn, Jax makes a comeback to the series. The game also features ad-hoc wireless WiFi modes in order to play one-on-one matches.

Midway had a small Sony PSP bar in the back of their booth, featuring two Unchained units. Below are a few images we snapped of the game. As you can see, the majority of the images are of loading screens because that's what you will be looking at most of the time, as the loading time for Unchained is considerably long. Hopefully that is not what Midway is calling their new Endurance Mode feature.




Check back later for more extended coverage of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon and Mortal Kombat: Unchained at E3 2006.

Wow! Not a lot of character to play with in the demo version. I hope we can use a lot more when it comes out. But the pics are just like Deception for the PS2 and X-Box and they're wonderful. Nice dirt pick-up Jeff.

One question which i'm worried about....Will the new characters have the trademark Fatalities and Hara-Kiri?

Yes. The GameCube version had fatalities for Shao Kahn.

Yea i know that (i own it). But what if Midway got lazy and never bothered to do something like that.

If they didn't bother with that then they're taking way too much time on this. I can't imagine dumbing it down and converting it for PSP would take any time at all. I can imagine creating new content would be a worthwhile and time-consuming endeavor tho wouldn't you?

I blame this new Endurance mode and trying to add more photos of the cleaning staff, i mean programmers.
