Breakpack Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I've got an old issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (around May/June/July '95) with pics from that summer's E3 (or CES ,whatever it was called at the time).In it there are pics of the home versions of Mortal Kombat 3.In those pics are Super NES shots from the graveyard stage.I know it was taken out in the final 16 bit versions,but is there a known prototype of MK3 with the stage in it or was that just a mock up'ed unplayable revision?????I'll try to get scans from this iss. as soon as I can.Thanks.

Saikyo Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 The pictures in your magazine are probably taken from the arcade version the graveyard was taken out of the SNES release and later added to the SONY PLAYSTATION release. I think that the graveyard was removed cuz nintendo deemed it morbid or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saikyo Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I really dont know dude. Maybe the cart is out there somewhere but I dont know if the ROM has been dumped or not! Maybe it was removed because Nintendo didn't like the idea of the programmers names on the stones and they worried incase people would try to kill the developers? Nintendo can do things like that you know! remember Snes MK1? Yeah no blood! Oh well if I come up with something like a MK3 beta ROM (not that I personaly emulate the SNES) I will PM tou a link or something ok? Till next time dude!

wilpetty Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 maybe they just made and error??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakpack Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 maybe they just made and error??? But the stage looks pretty playable.....perhaps it's just a mockup..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I dont know, I mean some of the gravestones are not there as can be seen on the shots. (the programmer stones are missing!) This either means that it's a mockup or Nintendo had a dispute with midway to remove the stones with the programmers names on. And Midway didn't like it so they removed the whole stage! Thats all I can think of if i learn any more I'll let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilpetty Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 maybe they just made and error??? But the stage looks pretty playable.....perhaps it's just a mockup..... I meant maybe it was the sega version and they accidently put that it was the SNES version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant maybe it was the sega version and they accidently put that it was the SNES version I dunno ,the screenshots look like they have too many colors to be a Genesis screenshot.And the names of the fighters are below the energy bars ,like the SNES version and not inside like the Genesis port.

DreamTR Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) I have an MK3 SNES proto, it says work in progress on the legals screen with a date, and it is a good 6-8 months before release. I think I recall it having that stage, but I am not 100% certain. Come to think of it, my copy of the game IS the EGM preliminary copy (from where I received it) so there is a good chance it DOES have this stage.

TheRedEye Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Oh. Well, there's some news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTR Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) Just to clarify, I am not digging this thing out for people that are not serious about purchasing it. TRE can vouch for me "having" these type of games, but I've received some PMs from people wanting me to prove I have the game? It's not like the thing is easy to get to, if you want to purchase it, show me the money! Edited September 28, 2006 by DreamTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhatter667 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've gotta find a copy of MK3/MK trilogy for the PSX. I have MK and MK II for the SNES, those were always fun. I wonder if the PSX version will still let you play Pong after winning 250 battles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the PSX version will still let you play Pong after winning 250 battles? I know one of them had a subgame, a little galaxian style shooter. It might have been the Genesis version of one of them though. My friends and I played MK1, 2, and 3 into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 i have the superfamicom mk3 you know i never knew it didnt make it to snes. MK3 actually was released for the SNES (and so was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3). The reason people are interested in the protos is because the final release didn't have all of the same stages/backgrounds as the arcade game, and it seems there might be a proto that includes a stage not seen in the final release.
