New Screens - Wii Mortal Kombat
Midway has released a couple of screen shots from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for the Wii. The purpose of these screen shots are to educate you, the buyer, into seeing how this next chapter of the Mortal Kombat series will take advantage of the Wii remote.
Here’s what Midway has to say about Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for the Wii:
Scheduled to ship in April 2007 with the most complete roster ever, including more than 60 fighters from the entire Mortal Kombat® universe (past, present and future), a revolutionary Kreate-A-Fighter mode and Kreate-A-Fatality mode, plus a brand new Konquest mode and Endurance Mode, Mortal Kombat®: Armageddon™ promises to be the most complete, intensely lethal, fighting experience ever!
….seriously, does anyone have any idea why game companies are doing this? I have been staring at these screen shots for the past 15 minutes, and I’m sure a move or fatality will not be as easy as waving my Wii remote to the right, then left in a zig zag fashion. When will the developers learn that when it comes to the Wii, the best way to show off what’s going on is through video of some dope playing the game…not pictures!

I’m not sure I’m going to be a fan of this. Fatalities are tough to pull off with a regular controller. Even some of the special moves are tough. I guess we’ll have to see how it turns out. I just downloaded MK3 from Xbox Live Arcade and already trying to remember the moves and also pull them off with the Xbox controller.

no online, no buy, if they can’t push this game back a month to get online function then I will not buy it.

There is a video of a guy showing off the controls and it IS in fact that easy. He demonstrates it as well as tells you what he’s doing.

Awesome video Phil, I can’t believe I missed seeing that. It really helps!

I’m glad that they allow you to use the classic controller and GC controller. I think other developers should take note of this. Just because the motion sensing controller is cool doesnt mean every game needs to use it. Games like Smackdown vs. Raw would be damned near impossible to make with the Wii controller, but using the classic controller would make it a lot easier. I would rather a game use the Classic controller than either have ridiculous controls or not exist at all.
