Aaar, the controversy about the blood when MK1 came out. And it will happen again with the new MK. Like a wierd, gossippy circle with too much time on its hands....

Yeah, Nintendo really shot themselves in the foot with that one. They had the superior version but left out the blood My mate had one of those 'gamesharks' (?) which could turn the sweat into red sweat It just wasn't the same though

Apparently there's going to be a Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Collection release on the PS3 soon (has HD of MKs 1-3); it has HD sprites made fresh from casting new actors apparently. And also includes a demo of Mortal Kombat 9. I haven't bought a PS3 yet but now's a damn good reason to!!

The release date has already passed and there has been no official confirmation from WB leading to speculation that it has either been canned or never really existed.

I hold the hope that it will come out - probably next year, however I can't see WB deliberately taking the focus away from MK9 with two MK releases in the same year. It is more likely to be packed with MK9 as a special edition.

Picked up Donkey Kong Country returns yesterday. Very nice! Good old school feel. Although I do hate the way Nintendo games rarely allow you to use a non-shake controller in most of their games. Surely they could program all games to be played with the classic controller as well as wahtever else. It can't be that hard.

I have to say though, DKCR isn't so bad with the motion controls, all you need to shake is for a gorund pound, blowing move and for the attack roll. Problem I have always found with the attack roll is due to the slight delay from shake to roll, I often cop a hit... Why can't I press a button like I am used toooooo?

Only played for about an hour, but had similar delay issues, will take a while to get used to...

Otherwise, its another impressive game for the Wii, have to find time for Epic Mickey yet (apparently a good game, plagued by camera controls... boo.)
