I think him spelling “confirmed” with a “k” was somewhat of a hint.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is $9 on Steam, or $10 with Injustice 2 Ultimate.

Wonder if consoles will have the same discount.

Well I'm probably gonna buy it. I don't get many collectors editions, but Mortal Kombat is close to our hearts (husband and myself.)

I do find calling it MK1 is lame... should have went with Mortal Kombat Zero if anything.

I'm in debate ... $250 is WAY too much for this, especially looking at prior games CE's and their price. This crap is getting out of control, but ... what isn't.

Yeah remember when most CE's were $100? $150 tops? It's just inflation... everything is higher now.
I paid $150 for a Dead Island 2 statue that was originally supposed to COME WITH THE CE!

Son of a dog... Already sold out on Amazon. Missed it.

@John can you move this to gaming discussion? Originally had here for the movie.

Thanks

GameStop let me preorder the big one. So I did. We’ll see if it cancels between now and then.

Yah just got from GameStop as well.

Head's up @sinnie

Done!

wtf? Do you have a link? I looked literally right at noon CST and haven't even been able to find the listing.

Yeah that's some lame crap. I can only for the xbox version on Amazon after much searching. Gamestop is sold out for Kollectors except for Xbox. I need it for PS5.

If they don't become available again, I got an extra for ya.

It isn't just inflation, it's intentionally pushing the envelope until they find the point people stop buying. If they can use the cover of inflation to jack up prices even more, they will.

You ordered extras? Yeah I'm down if I don't find one!

I know the last one sold really well on Switch (it was the first M-rated game to top sales charts on a Nintendo console since RE4 on GameCube), but it's kinda weird to me that this one is skipping Xbox One and PS4 but still coming to Switch. Hopefully they're not as secretive of the Switch version this time, because for MK11 they weren't showing screenshots or anything of how it looked in advance of its release.

Well it has to go to Switch, there's no newer gen console.

Hahahaha

@sinnie it's in stock

Thank you! I managed to see this immediately and got it ordered. I guess we'll see if it doesn't get canceled!

I canceled my preorder. I know I’ll get it on day one or maybe preorder a different edition as we get closer. I don’t need the statue, and I certainly don’t trust GameStop to get it to me. I believe they would cancel it, as we’ve seen recently with RE4 and Zelda.

Wow, this is looking great!

Omni-man (from Invincible), Peacemaker (from The Suicide Squad/Peacemaker) & Homelander (from The Boys) confirmed as DLC for MK1. Not a huge fighting game fan but that sorta makes me want to pick this up lol

I wonder if the original actors will be voicing them in this game. I didn’t see where that was confirmed.

I'm so hyped about Homelander and Omniman.

Also it looks like Baraka and Mileena have a disease instead of being another species, so that's a neat change.

Homelander and Peacemaker have the actual actors' faces, there's no way they won't be voicing them.

Also Omniman kinda looks like JK Simmons, too - particularly in the eyes. So I'm betting he's in, too.

That would be cool. I’m sure lots of old wrestling fans will kill John Cena 8000 times.

I also saw the thing Sinnie mentioned about the Tarkatans being diseased or something. It appears they’re changing them from a race to diseased as a whole thing. Not sure I like it but we’ll see where it goes.

This is looking good...

Ok, Reptile is pretty badass

That was pretty great.

I really need to know who's voicing Reptile.

Andrew Morgado according to quick search

CE available again

Played the beta and it looks nice. I was a bit annoyed it didn't have any local verses so we just did the tower a few times. I think it deactivated yesterday.

It did. I don’t like the cameo character thing at all, and a lot of the fighting didn’t feel nearly as good as MK11. That said, I’m still looking forward to it, but my expectations and hopes have been lowered a bit by playing the beta.

Yeah Cameo fighting got stale real quick... they should have (and maybe they did) add a couple of different moves. I guess the xrays always got stale to me after seeing them 2-3 times per character anyway. I did see a new trailer last night and it looked like Shujunko (old man version) and Motaro (with 4 legs) is in it but looks like as cameo fighters.

Someone posted a "the first 17 minutes of gameplay" full of early spoilers (with four or five story-based fights), and I was really entertained by the story. It's got its funny moments.
