Even with its warts Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 still holds up relatively well over the past decade. All the spurting blood, fatalities, and gruesome violence - admittedly tame to today's standards - are in here. The speed and gameplay is pretty near arcade perfect, and only the truly keen MK eyes are going to see the tweaks employed to get the game working on the handheld. The arcade conversion, pretty much an emulation with a few development compromises, is pulled off extremely well on the Nintendo DS. Not "ultimate" by any means, but certainly worthwhile.īoth games were converted over to the Nintendo DS by Other Ocean, the same team that worked on the Xbox Live Arcade version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. To spice things up, the company also converted the satirical puzzle game Puzzle Kombat created for Mortal Kombat Deception, and then went one step further and made all versions fully playable over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. But this is an arcade emulation of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the Nintendo DS, and a really good one. It's not the "ultimate" in Mortal Kombat by any means - that arguably could go to the 1996 mash-up release of Mortal Kombat Trilogy. In reality Ultimate Mortal Kombat is simply a truncation of the title "Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3," the version of the arcade game that capped off the fighting series' use of 2D gameplay mechanics and digitized actors. The name suggests that the game's something special, something in-depth, something all-encompassing, what with "ultimate" in the title.
