      @bee boo I wouldn't go as far as saying that Sega has 0 business making MK games on two levels. 1. They didn't make it. Probe was responsible for porting it. 2. The 32X version did everything the SNES version did and more. Also, the original MK on the genesis smashed the SNES version in sales in big part due to it being the only version that kept blood and full fatalities intact. I grew up with Nintendo products as a kid and had friends who had Sega Genesis's. I think both are good in their own regard; because Sega released the Genesis a few years before the SNES, and it's schedule was very different than all of the console manufacturers at the time. For what the Genesis lacked in tech, it made up for fairly well, and while it may not have been up to par with some SNES games, Sega's versions were still very impressive and had that "Sega" feel to it. Something that can't be translated today, you'd have to be alive during the time to understand what it meant because back then, consoles weren't just iterations of the same thing. They had entirely different video, sound and input setups in comparison to the cookie cutter layout that's been used since the SNES. Both are respectable as consoles at the time. Each had it's pros and cons.

      @@NinjaCacodemon_IsSus incorrect. The SNES was designed to be an incomplete motherboard where the cartridges provided the extra RAM, graphics, and full integrated use of the Sony S-SMP sound chip on the system. This allowed the SNES to upgrade itself without having to buy hideous and overpriced add-ons.
      Regardless of the (very small) two year difference between the release dates, the Genesis was already obsolete when it came out because of an even older 16-bit system: the TurboGrafx-16, which was superior as well. Sega rushed the Genesis out to get a head start on Nintendo, which history has already proven was a massive mistake.

    The Genesis did the music better than the SNES because Matt Furniss is a God when it comes to using FM synth. SNES had a muffled sound which never stuck with me as much as the crisper twangy sound of the Genesis. It also has a much more menacing and evil feel to it.

      Thankfully, there are now hacks to vastly improve the Genesis version: MK II Unlimited brings over a lot of the arcade presentation, with bios, vs screens, intro and outros along with playable bosses and a ton of other changes, a lot of which are optional, and there is a color hack to improve the graphics.

      Yeah, I can definitely say that playing the genesis versions of the MK games had their own feel, and if one was able to play it on the 6 button, it was really good for it's input speed. I had the SNES version and I was pretty used to the setup due to having SF II: Turbo, but it was still a slight more sluggish than the Genesis as far as input reaction if I remember correctly. Each one had their pros and cons :)

      It is worth it (but Super Nintendo is still better in my opinion) & actually buying the Sega 32X was worth it, primarily for the game.
      There are a few improvements over Sega Genesis, but not a whole lot (especially music wise).
      I do also have Sega CD (which like Sega 32X wasn't cheap & had to be ordered online) which has it's own version of Mortal Kombat 1 that's even bloodier than even the original Arcade game.

      Actually, Im glad, that Sega doen´t have the Liu Kang sounds ^^ . The musicial quality, the basses, are more suitable to MK 2 in my opinion.
      Overall,coming to presentation, I agree with SNES´ victory. But for me, music is more important and Sega also did a better job with the sound effects, they´ve put in, so.. I´ll stick with Sega :) . Also the controller is better for fighting games.

      @AkumaTh Před 7 lety +7

      Imakaze First, Sega's controller is normally a 3 button layout. No matter how you feel about the D-Pad, that is going to be a factor. With it being default even if you have a 6 button made playing the game perfectly tedious to do each time you turn it on.
      Add to that a game mode that can increase playing time, SNES was the superior version.

    You guys mentioned animation being equal, not quite. Johny Cage and Baraka's win poses on the Genesis version are both incomplete, Baraka stays bowed Johnny Cage keeps his arms in the air instead of crossing them. 32X version for some reason didn't fix this, quite inexcusable on Probe's part.

Probe almost would get a pass for making Alien 3 on gen,and Die Hard Trilogy. I still really hate that they were so lackluster doing the genesis MK games and then with 2 more console failed attempts for part II after the genesis. It s inexcusable ..

      At that point the PlayStation was out and MK3 played pretty much spot on to the arcade whereas the SN, while being a good port, had trouble with things like multiple floors on levels - the arcade and PSX scrolled between them but on SN they had to fade to black and then fade into the next floor as a whole new screen as it just couldn't do it. The Genesis version doesn't hold a candle to the SN version IMO... but to not include PSX at that point would be har5d to do and it was so much better there's really nothing to compare.

The controls are spot on, most sound effects sound better than the SNES version,(Baraka's chopping blades for one example), and the Genesis version's music is just awesome and creepy in It's own right. The animations are great on Genesis too. They got it right for that game as well. MK 1 wasn't perfect but it still controlled well and had the original blood and fatalities at least.
