The Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection: A Missing Piece?
Get ready for a controversial take on a recent digital release that has left collectors scratching their heads.
The Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, a digital-only release for now, promises a journey through the iconic franchise's history. But here's where it gets tricky: it's missing a crucial piece, and it's not just any game.
The Great Mortal Kombat 4 Mystery
The collection includes Mortal Kombat 4, but only the arcade version. Why exclude the PlayStation and Dreamcast versions? Digital Eclipse, the developers, claim it's a big deal to include even the arcade port. But here's the kicker: they've left out the Game Boy Color version, which they themselves developed!
A Handheld Horror?
Fighting games on handhelds have often been a challenge, and Mortal Kombat 4 for the Game Boy Color is no exception. In fact, it's so bad that it's now on Matt McMuscles' list of the worst fighting games ever. The port is aesthetically unappealing, and its soundtrack is equally headache-inducing.
Quality Concerns or Creative Choice?
Digital Eclipse's decision to exclude the Game Boy Color version might be due to quality concerns, but it's a bold move considering their own development history with the game. It's a controversial choice that has left fans and collectors wondering.
And this is the part most people miss: the developers' reasoning behind this exclusion is a mystery. Was it a conscious decision to maintain quality, or an oversight?
