IGN reports that the new Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is coming to Wii in 2007. From the article: “Publisher Midway on Tuesday revealed to IGN that it is planning to bring its new entry into the bloody Mortal Kombat series, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, to Nintendo’s Wii console. The title will arrive for the system in the first quarter of next year, according to representatives for the company.”
No word, though, on how the game might interface with motion-sensing controls. Does this excite anyone, or has this series been played out since MKII?
It's been played out since MK1. Boring series, that perhaps holds the dubious distinction of best game-to-movie translation.
MK II is where it should have stopped. All the 3D iterations are really shallow wannabes of more refined fighters such as Tekken or Soul Calibur. I think Namco has a safe chokehold on the 3D fighting game genre. Even as far as 2D fighters go, I'd still rather play Darkstalkers or Guilty Gear XX. Now if maybe we could convince Namco to put Soul Calibur III on the Wii……
Although it is really out played, maybe they come up with a new control style, that would be great. OR maybe they come with a classic style, 2D fighting mode, just like MKII, using just the wiimote, without attachments. Who knows, but it is good to see that at least one fighting game will figure on Wii.Best!!
I will prob get it
I'm a fan, and this annoucement is really a coup for those screaming that they neglected the gamecube iteration. It is especially nice since it will not be appearing on Xbox 360 and or PS3, plus coupled with the fact that I'm sure Wii will be getting all next gen iterations of Mortal Kombat as well. This game does look promising with it's shaolin monk style Konquest mode (please please be co-op) and although the fighting system may not be as deep as other fighters, it is incredibly nostalgic and I always check out and have fun with Mortal Kombat. Besides, look at that character roster, even though some may argue many characters are uninspired, you will at least have the chance to play as your favorite MK character. This is good news no matter how you slice it.
I agree with Kale: the Soul Calibur series took MK's crown since its appearance on the Dreamcast! Now, if they could bring a version of Soul Calibur with those delicious fatalities…
has noone here played mk4? i swear its the most overlooked mk of all, and it was simply brilliant. mk armageddon is supposed to go back to an mk4 type fighting with less emphasis on multiple styles. anyone who has a 64 find mk4 and kick some ass! now armageddon will have EVERY SINGLE MK FIGHTER EVER most likely making it the biggest selection of fighters ever! even if you got away from the series i say its worth playing for some nostalgia. 2 thumbs up. ps. if you get to use wii controls how cool would it be mimicking throwing a spear? or a freeze blast, fireball, perform a round housekick, leg sweep, fatalities. this game could be really cool. thats all i'm saying.
Appreciate this post. Will try it out.
