1. Artful scaling is treating the game like SNK style games. Something like The Art of Fighting and Samurai Shodown. 2. MK3 for Sega master system is exactly the same except the resolution is zoomed out. Tec Toy Brazil literally converts Sega Game Gear games and polishes them up for the Master System market. Master System is still very popular in Brazil.
I knew most of these, but the artful scaling was something I didn't know. Even when I think I know everything you're going to talk about in these videos, you always surprise me with something!
In the German version of mk shaolin monks you can do fatalitys but you can't see them! The television fades to black! This is why people in Germany hated that game. Mk without fatality is like a car without wheels!!!!!!! What a waste of money,time and other recources.
WOW, that is mad.. its like they are saying German people are different or something. If a German sees blood he will take over the world... I HATE WHEN THEY CHANGE GAMES.
in my country Malaysia the government does concern about violence in video games but none of Mortal Kombat series are censored because not so much people in my country knows about this game even there was a news related to Mortal Kombat franchise
I'm from Brazil and I knew some people who owned that same version. To this day we still play some old consoles, like master system, sega saturn (which we call Mega Drive) and the SNES.
I'm glad I've discovered your videos ever since i was looking up mk4 endings for laughs. It's cool to see a mortal kombat loremaster that dissects games he loves! I'll keep binging your other stuff!
Nice video! I really enjoy topics like this. I just wanted to add that one of Kitana's fatalities is also censored in the NTSC-U version of "Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe". - Derek

Deception is Spanish (Decepción) means Dissapointmen too
I have Shaolin Monks for both PS2 & Xbox (PAL) Both versions feature the *Kontent menu & have the Mortal Kombat II option there to be seen. Though the PS2 version will not start at all.. Not even if i use cheats to activate it from the main menu. The sound will trigger letting me know the cheat was activated, but no dice. Game will not start. The Xbox version on the other hand, not only has a fully working version of MK2, but if you have a modified console with a file explorer, you can rip the single file that contained it straight to your HDD & play it from there, no Shaolin Monks disc needed. When this is done, there is no main menu to be paused to , so the Smoke secret & random select work.
Fun Fact: That Artful Scaling in MKII on both Saturn and PlayStation 1 (In Japan), is probably a 2D experimental phase (though it's a nice feature), that perhaps led to the later development of Mortal Kombat 4 where there used the exact same scaling when it transitioned from 2D to 3D at the time, and used mostly for that reason until they brought it back in the reboots, this time in a 2.5D format.
Not UK exclusive specifically, but yes only released in Europe. The Amiga line wasn't particularly popular in other regions, even if Commodore was a US company.
Very interesting stuff! I never gave much thought to how MK releases would be in different regions. I just assumed they were all the same. Love this video because every piece of information was new to me!
In germany they removed all fatalitys from mk:sm! The screen just turns black and there is no way to avoid that! You forgot the biggest difference to other versions
Wow, you learn something new every day! Thank you for sharing it - as much as that sucks, it's fascinating to learn about the censorship leading to regional differences like this. Is that true for both PS2 and Xbox?
WOW, that is mad.. its like they are saying German people are different or something. If a German sees blood he will take over the world... I HATE WHEN THEY CHANGE GAMES.
@@brendonjc81 no its because of ww2 germany censors themselves you have to realize how much restitution they had to pay for ww2 and if you understand that you'll learn how the world works
For the European versions of Shaolin Monks, it's possible MK2 was removed for space concerns, given the large amount of language translations needed for the region.
MK:SM does have MK2 on Xbox here in Australia (PAL) but not PS2. I believe it's because MK2 is banned in Germany and Sony use a Europian disc that covers the whole region... xbox used a more localized version. :D
@@tabmok99 ,i am german and Mk2 isn't or wasn't banned or censored in germany!

@@KAZ3EM Danke, Thomas! I appreciate the information and comments. I would love to see what MKSM was like in Germany - that's one import I haven't gotten ahold of!
@@KAZ3EM MK2 was definitely banned in Germany. From Wikipedia: The game was banned in Germany,[107] where MKII was put in the index by the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons (BPjM) and all versions of the game except for the Game Boy version[108] were subjected to being confiscated from the nation's market for violating the German Penal Code by showing excessive violence and cruel acts against representations of human beings.
In England we have a special edition for MK11 which is the same as the normal edition but includes a Kold War Skarlet skin. I don't believe that is available in America.
Mortal kombat 2 wasn't in Shaolin Monks because it was censored in Germany. Another small observation is that in Portugal we had black and white portuguese translated manuals (besides the original colored manuals) for every game until the sega saturn. i can take a picture of my MK2 Saturn manual and UMK3 Mega Drive manual and send you on twitter if you wanna see them. Edit - There's also 2 disc versions of MK Gold (dreamcast), they have different colors and the more recent one was released to fix some bugs the original had. i don't know if they were released everywhere or not.
Yeah, it really adds a new dimension to the game! The thing is, I really think the SNES could have handled it quite easily, with its Mode 7 capability and all.
great video, friend! just to add few things: - MKT 1.2 for N64 was released only in NTSC region - MK1 Japan for snes had a cheat for extra 10 credits - MK1 for DOS was kinda different as it had different publishers for Europe and USA (UltraTech and Virgin) and the versions kinda differ (cloakedthargoid.wordpress.com/mk1-dos-versions/) - PAL versions of MK2 (SNES), MK2 (Saturn) and UMK3 (saturn) had a completely broken gravity system. - MKSM in Germany cut the fatalities in MKSM (you only get a black screen) - There is a very rare Brazilian build for MK2 for PS1, which had some text translated (could be find at hiddenplace) - I believe MK Trilogy for Game.Com was released only in USA :D btw, did you see some guy found e3 iso for MKSF from '99? it's even playable in emulator!
How rare are the Japanese PlayStation versions of MK2, MK3 or MKT? Are they still in high demand among the MK community? Anyway, excellent video as always, ]{! So interesting each and every time.
Hard to say exactly how rare they are. They're around on eBay for now. Difficult to say how long that will remain the case. MK3 on Sega Master System has gone way up in value since I first got it!
I'm probably missing a couple here and there. I don't have a PAL version of Shaolin Monks, which a lot of commenters pointed out was censored heavily (the German release anyway). The regional differences are the most interesting thing to me, in addition to having a big a collection as possible.
@@thehoodybadger3402 Not just the Sega consoles, but all home versions of all games up through Mortal Kombat Trilogy use the "Rayden" spelling. Starting with MK 4 the home versions got the proper "Raiden" spelling.
I have mkxl on both ntsc and pal. Didn't really notice any major differences except for online play. Since i played the pal version first, all my story progress, krypt, coins, online wins etc don't show while on the ntsc version. But if you view your profile while in other modes it's unchanged lol. Pretty wierd. So now I have a version for offline and one for online I guess lol.
Good point, they also use that in the Saturn version of MKII. It's in the original arcade version too (but only in the credits). Some ROM hacks like MK2+ take the laugh and use it as his win pose as well!
On the UK version of Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks for the original XBOX we was able to unlock Mortal Kombat 2 once you completed the Smoke Missions , I remember doing it
Back when MKSM came out I completed the smoke missions to find MK2 wasn't playable, I contacted midway, yes I literally wrote them a bunch of emails and after a week or so revived 2 emails back... Not sure if the guy was flat out lying to me or what but he said it was due to MK2 coming out for Midway arcade treasurers 2 and therefore wasn't needed in SM, he literally told me to go out and pick up a copy, I shit you not! I was a bit sour about it at the time, for that and the premium edition of deception having MK1. Oh and I'm from the UK. Love the video.
Oh and I've got to say I was surprised I received an email back by sombody talking specifically about the subject I was talking about, not only did I not expect a response but a flat out awnser really threw me... reason I emailed was because I don't remember finding out why it wasn't in the PAL version on the PS2, ah well...
Oh, lol, I meant I hadn't seen it in a 2D game! Actually, this did come out a couple years before the original N64 Smash... so I very well might have seen artful scaling here first!
In the US version, you don't get to see the victim fall down on the gunshot. The camera pans away and you can hear the sound effect of them falling, but it happens offscreen.
Why did Mortal Kombat get banned in certain countries? Speaking about Japan, why Mortal Kombat did not get popular in Japan? When I saw the Deathstroke and Joker's fatalities on MK Vs DC Universe, I am like "How comes certain versions of the game get the kool stuff, and not US American Mortal Kombat gamers get to see the kool stuff uncensored, but instead, we got the censored MK VS DC Universe fatalities?" To me, the censorship from MK VS DC fatalities are odd, because censorship are the least favorite to us gamers in the kommunities.
Oh yeah mystification, i was all hyped for deception, even has french, it make me think a lot when i saw trailer on MKOnline at the time, but that doesn't make me dissapointed the least. I remember my oncle wanted to buy me this game but he call me completly confused because of the title. Think it was another game. My xbox version has trouble running the intro a lot of skip and pause ensue. weird...
That is funny about your uncle. It sounds like your disc might be scratched. You might want to try ordering another another copy and see if that that fixes it. Good luck!
I always heard the reason MK2 isn't in Shaolin Monks in Europe is that it's play in English, no matter which language you selected, and to be released in Europe, EVERYTHING had to be translated. That could be BS or speculation though.
Recently I visited Europe and played MKSM in German audio... with MK DAN / MKUNIVERSE! I can definitely yell you from first-hand experience, the German translation exists!
@@tabmok99 oh yeah, Shaolin Monks would be in German, the MK2 on the disk would be in English though, as it's a straight Arcade port. That was supposedly why the Euro copy doesn't have it, as the complexity of translating everything would be too high.
Well i don't think it's true because we have games like Persona or Yakuza in english only, or Symphony of the Night... When they have to cut something it's generally an issue about licensing, they're not gonna bother remove a bonus game only because it's in english when in the other hand we have the arcade games in Tekken 5 (for instance) in english.
Awesome video, tabmok99. I might be wrong on this, but wasn't there also Mortal Kombat 1 & Mortal Kombat II for Sega Master System in Europe? It sucks that we didn't get PlayStation Mortal Kombat II here in the USA. It would've been a slam dunk sales wise & I would've definitely wanted it in my collection along with the rest of the PlayStation Mortal Kombat games.
There definitely was a Master System version of MK1, as I played it at summer camp when I lived in the UK. Not sure about MKII, but both were on the UK Amiga, as I had them and their big ol' boxes and multiple disks :D
Mortal kombat 9 never came out in Australia, we didn't have a 18+ rating for video games... it came out a few years later tho. you could have added that in to your video bro. I had to get mine from the UK and then make a UK PS3 account to get the DLC, plus buy UK PS3 credit from eBay, it was shit.
Yup! You'd be surprised with the vast amount of brazillian exclusives Tec Toy released. They had a bunch of games based on brazillian IPs, and even a version of Duke Nukem 3D for the Genesis. There were also Master System versions of Mortal Kombat I and II, but I don't know if these were exclusive.
TecToy basically took the Game Gear version and tweaked it to make the Master System version. They did that with a lot of games, actually, since the systems are pretty much identical hardware.
They should've named Mortal Kombat: Special Forces deception in France.
Lol
Wmohahahaha

That's what I would have thought too, but it's legit! The port was handled by Tec Toy, who also did the Sega Master System ports of MK1 and MKII.
Wow hehe
Yup! You'd be surprised with the vast amount of brazillian exclusives Tec Toy released. They had a bunch of games based on brazillian IPs, and even a version of Duke Nukem 3D for the Genesis. There were also Master System versions of Mortal Kombat I and II, but I don't know if these were exclusive.
TecToy basically took the Game Gear version and tweaked it to make the Master System version. They did that with a lot of games, actually, since the systems are pretty much identical hardware.
but you always look good anyway, so don't take my comment wrong
All good! Yeah my weight has gone up and down, but it was at the highest when I did my Reptile video and I'm never going to let it go that high again!
And I was probably at my lowest weight when I did the Animality video
No entendi nada :v
Whats up Kombat 66?
That is upside-down and backwards!
u were thinner
MK3 on Master System is worse than when I had cancer.
Mortal kombat: disappointment. Pretty much sums up all games after umk3 up until mk9. Lol.
