I fucking hate Mortal Kombat bro I've been trying to look up the Trilogy's frame data to make a meme and I'm at Google's third fucking page and the closest I got was a peruvian website saying "descargar baraka frame data gratis click here".

This is the final and best experience of the classic Mortal Kombat games. It takes everything from the original trilogy and mixes it into one game. Everything in this game is right where it should be - characters, stages, and gameplay. There's nothing more to praise or complain about; it's an awesome game, simple as that.

I think this is the first MK game I've ever played, and the only game my neighbor had on his Sega Saturn, so we played it for an entire summer. It's a really good fighting game even to this day.

I would rate this higher but the difficulty was kind of unfair to a certain extent other than that decent game.


Tenho uma nostalgia enorme por esse Mortal Kombat em especifico, quando era criança, por volta dos 5 anos, uma amiga da família que me cuidava, pegava esse jogo do filho dela, pra levar em casa pra mim jogar, ele ficava puto? com certeza, mas foi meu primeiro contato com os Mortal Kombat 2D, e sinceramente, acredito ser a versão definitiva dos clássicos, não tem razão nenhuma pra escolher os outros, já que esse tem tudo que o 1, 2 e 3 tem, e um pouco mais, único lado negativo são os loadings bem demorados, mas se não for fazer speedrun é contornável, acredito ser uma das melhores versões, muito personagem, cenários, e todas as finalizações, basicamente Mortal Kombat Armageddon 2D se desse certo, se você não gosta muito dos Mortal Kombat's 3D, esse é o jogo pra você

Meu mk favorito de longe

É basicamente um compilado das 3 versões com alguns adicionais, o que eu joguei isso no PS é brincadeira, melhor que o terceiro game somente por ser mais completo porém toda a mecânica do mesmo esta presente apenas com umas leves polidas

É também o último da série com os gráficos e estética clássica

A lista de personagem nem se fala, da pra jogar com absolutamente todo mundo, até com os personagens do primeiro jogo, como também com uns novos e exclusivos dessa versão (tipo o johnny cage que não apareceu em nenhum MK3)

Belíssimo, muito divertido mesmo com a CPU roubando como sempre

A versão de 64 como sempre veio nerfada com menos personagens e conteúdo

E sinceramente o controle do 64 não foi feito pra jogo de luta sinto muito, salvam raras exceções que souberam se adaptar bem.









The pinnacle of the 90s 2D era. Everything you loved about MK is wrapped up nicely in this beautiful burrito of blood, bones, and nostalgia!

look man it's umk3 but even more stupid, i love that shit
the roster is expansive and very dumb, it feels like you're playing mugen sometimes but mugen is one of the best things ever
i played the every loving hell out of this game as a child who was probably too young to be playing it but that's neither here nor there
it's just a lot of fun and it has all the pros and cons of the game it followed up except more cons but i don't really care about them
the game looks like shit in comparison to the arcade ports but that's just the nature of ports at the time
speaking of, i played the GOG release which is probably the best way to play it outside of n64 on original hardware
native xinput support baby

you probably have an opinion on this game and it's likely that umk3 is better, which it is but my favorite smash game is project m and this game being my foundational fighting game is probably part of why that is

The second and final update to MK3. The first one added all the ninjas, and people adored it, so now they said: "Let's add everything we have, why not? They eat this shit up," and they sold the same game again but with all the missing characters (And some of the missing stages), and now the bosses are selectable.

This was my introduction to the franchise and it has a big place in my heart. To this day I play it and I'm not the only one. It still has a community that makes fanedits of the game (Mugens) adding new characters and shit.

A versão definitiva de MK 3
e pra mim um ÓTIMO JOGO
O que esse jogo abriu de variedade pra franquia, não está escrito
Todas as finalizações criadas, todos os personagens criados, e outra coisa todos são personagens FODAS
não é random criado aqui
Além disso. Ele dá outros tipo de gameplays como há em dupla
E dá a possibilidade pra jogar com os chefes
Enfim um ótimo jogo
8/10

Noob Saibot's fart cloud.

Beating this and going back to any other game feels like I’ve been doing high altitude training

The anomaly of this game is more screwed up when you realize there's a Competitive scene for two different versions of this game

Johnny Cage no tiene el golpe en los webos dislike

What better way to end an era for a fighting genre than to throw it all into one big game. MKT does just this, so for people only familiar with the 3D era, this is what Armageddon was based on. Every MK character up to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is in here, plus all the mechanics from UMK3 that everyone loved. The game introduces a new Aggressor meter which is the predecessor of the power meter in the new MK. Getting attacked will increase it (which is just text at the bottom that fills up which I really hate) and then you do extra damage while in Aggressor mode. The combo system is still intact as well as the weapons from UMK3.



The 2D games were silky smooth and the graphics look great in Trilogy. Every level, as well as a lot of fan-favorite music, is in the game (you can pull the soundtrack right off the disc.) Using the run button, pulling off a 5 hit combo, and then blocking, jumping around, and using all the signature moves brings back a great feeling of nostalgia. There are some secrets hidden in here such as a special code screen (1 button Fatalities are awesome), plus some original outfits like Raiden, and Kano’s original outfit which also unlocks their original Fatality. Of course, the game is best played with two people, but single player is also a lot of fun.



There are a few minor problems like Shang Tsung’s morphs require loading, load times between menu and fights, plus the game will freeze sometimes which is no good. I also wish maybe Test your Might would have come back, but this really just feels like Mortal Kombat: The Greatest Hits. I also hate how cheap the computer can be on even normal difficulties, plus Shao Kahn is one of the cheapest bosses in gaming history so good luck beating him. Overall this is the ultimate MK experience for the 16-bit era that made history. If you loved the older MK games then Trilogy is exactly what you need plus this is probably the last time you’ll see Animalities and Brutalities.

My cousins refused to play this with me because the only move I could pull off was Cyrex's spider web...which I spammed constantly.

It's hard to see how the series could get any better than this. If you like fighting games, this is a must-own.

In SOME ways, this is, IMO, the best MK3-ish experience you're going to get. The graphics are pretty much arcade perfect, and there's NO annoying load times or loading limitations (such as with Shang Tsung on PS1). The game plays great, with the exception of MK3's obnoxious AI of course. And it has a nice array of characters.

The only reason I don't give it a 4 (besides the obnoxious AI, which the developers REALLY could have taken the time to mellow out on easier settings), is that the sound sucks. Early on, Playstation fanboys of course, used this as a reason why N64 sucked, because the PS1 (and Saturn) versions of MKT had great CD sound/music. But the thing is, while N64 DIDN'T have CD sound, the hardware wasn't the reason MKT had terrible sound. There are many 64 games that prove the system could do great sound when developers actually TRIED, such as Shadow of the Empire, Star Fox 64, Goldeneye, Tetrisphere, Beetle Adventure Racing, NBA Hangtime, Top Gear Overdrive, etc. The devs were just rushed/lazy with the sound aspect of this game, plain and simple. For an N64 game to literally sound like the SNES Ultimate MK3 is unacceptable.

Outside of sound, I would say that this version of the game stacks up against the PS1 version pretty well. In fact I'd say it has more pros than cons, version Playstation. The PS1 game TECHNICALLY has "more characters", in that you can play MK1/2 versions of characters like Kano, Raiden, Goro, etc. But honestly, while being able to play Goro and Kintaro in MKT on 64 would have been nice, the others are completely throwaway. The PS1 version also has a character called "Chameleon", which switches between the look/abilities of the various male ninjas, whereas the N64 version has "Kameleon", which switches between the three female ninjas. So which you think is better between the two, is a matter of taste. That character, again, is fairly throwaway.

All in all, I definitely think that MKT on N64 could/should have been better than it is. BUT, having said that, outside of the shitty sound, it IS about as good a version of MK3/Trilogy as you're going to get. And behind Killer Instinct Gold, it's probably the 2nd best fighter on the system. It really makes me wish Capcom and SNK had bothered porting some of their arcade fighters to N64, as it absolutely could have done them, and they could have been superior to the Playstation (IE NO load times, etc.). Alas.

La versión definitiva de MK3, UMK3.
Se podía jugar con los boss.
La viceada que le pegué a esto no tiene explicación

The definitive version of MK3, UMK3.
You could play with the bosses.
The vice that I gave to this has no explanation

De todos os Mortal Kombats em 2D com certeza esse foi o que mais joguei!

One of the best and most iconic gaming franchises of all-time.

Es bastante bueno... Para un Mortal Kombat.


My first fighting game, have a soft spot with this one as my Dad and I would play this a ton when I was super young. We could never beat Motaro sadly.

I have absolutely no skill when it comes to fighting games. I have a terrible memory for special moves and I never know when to block or attack, so I’m not going to be a good judge for games like this. Mortal Kombat Trilogy is essentially Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with some characters and stages from Mortal Kombat 2 and 3 added, although the aggression bar that makes you slightly more powerful is new.

I know a game isn’t for me when the character select screen is too difficult. Quite a few characters are just reskins of other characters, and there are no character names whatsoever on the character select screen. I tried to choose Sub Zero, pretty much the only Mortal Kombat character I know, but ended up with someone called Rain. Oh, and there’s a timer in the background so it will select whoever you are on when it tuns out.

I did manage to pull off one special move, and there are lots of fancy effects as punches and kicks are made. According to N64 magazine, though, it just simply isn’t as nice looking as the PlayStation version of the game. The N64 version also lacks a bunch of charaters.

There are a few multiplayer modes where you can select multiple characters, but there’s not a lot to choose from. In singleplayer, you can fight through four difficulties, each having more fights to get through.

Even setting things to “very easy”, I struggled to get the hang of this game. There’s no practice mode or move lists (that I could find in the confusing menu), other than using player 2 to stand there and do nothing.

Based on the comments from N64 magazine, there’s not much reason for anyone to play this version of the game. I did cheat my way though one of the campaigns to see different levels. I got to play a space invader clone at the end, which I enjoyed more than the main game.
