Fair enough. Coming from a world where random characters pop up to do whatever is needed in television and film, I welcome the multiple character perspectives approach of MK. It widens the story to me, even into different genres, so I'm fine with it. Kinda like a more schizophrenic version of "Lost" where even the background characters can get a flashback episode.

Ah, my bad. There are so many different endings in the MK series, I can't even begin to keep track of them all, let alone which ones are canon.

And as far I know, JC did die twice. He was killed by Shao Kahn's extermination squads before Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm. Kahn's attempts to merge Outworld and Earthrealm left Cage's soul trapped. When Kahn was defeated yet again by Liu Kang, Cage ascended into Heaven. When Shinnok attacked Earthrealm, he had Raiden restore his body so that he could fight. Then he got killed again in Deception and regenerated as Onaga's slaves. Unless, they recently retconned it, which is stupid.

Also, the bios on MKArmageddon.com suck. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to do them in the first person was wrong.

To me Cage died twice too, but DA suggested that he didn't die during MK3. He did "die" in Deception and that's still canon.

This might be a bad time to say that the bios have been in the first person since Deception.

Guess what, guys?

UMK3 is coming to DS as Ultimate Mortal Kombat, and this'll be the second America-released fighter for said system.And it's ONLINE!!

Syd will stand up like a pool stick, I bet.

Woah, man. Remember how shitty the UMK port for GBA was?

All said, if it's the same good MK gameplay as the arcade version, I'll buy it.

The real question is whether or not the DS UMK3 will include a playable Noob Saibot. Noob Saibot previously appeared in UMK3 as a super secret playable character, but only on WaveNET machines.

I know there's good reason to question, but let's say he's not. Why do we want to play as Noob Saibot?

We don't, necessarily. Noob was fucking broken back then. It's just going to be interesting to see how much attention to detail is paid.

Will everyone finally have babalities, friendships, animalities, and fatalities?

I doubt it. Midway isn't too much like Lucas and upgrading previous games waaaaaay after the fact. They try to keep upgrades within a year or two of the original release.

Ya, If they said they are making it arcade perfect, I wouldn't expect anything new as in the actual game, except online play (well, also, if you call Puzzle Kombat with online an addition...)

This, this right here, is an early trailer of how UMK DS plays and works.

I have to wonder why they havent jsut been porting trilogy or the home versions of UMK3, which have more characters and backgrounds.

Here's a better look at it.
