Game looks phenomenal. I have no idea why they even bothered with a Switch port.

MK had always had a rich handheld gaming history and sold a lot on them. They were almost always super sub par versions, so while Switch version sucks the previous handheld MK ports were even worse.

I still don't understand why they didn't make a cloud version instead. Look at Plague Tale Requiem, its far from perfect but if they had gone in this direction that would have made for a far better port

That's true but also the kind of shit that ruined MK's reputation and nearly killed the franchise. That and terrible sequels. 

 

IX, X and XI didn't have any portable versions, at least I don't think so.

Because streaming a fighting game is a terrible idea.

Mk9 is on Vita and funny enough, this MK1 on Switch is akin to how Vita ran MK9 back in the day.  A heavily stripped down version that's a bridge too far for the system. 

 

This is a next gen only game that they put on Switch... Lmfao. 

 

MK11 is on Switch and Ran and looked much better than this and apparently was very successful commercially for them. 

 

So they're back with this money grab port at fucking 70 dollars

 

Their excuse for the price is they used the highest capacity cart but that BS because they could have just did what they did for 11.  Where the rest of the game installs internally.

So that's why.

Imagine being a Ditch only gamer, being excited to finally get a 3rd party game like the big boys and getting a 396p TURD that looks and plays like a nightmare 🤢

 

What a joke of a console.

But a direct port to a console 2 gens behind is somehow much better?

Neither are.
