10 Years of MK9 - How One Game changed EVERYTHING

[@HorrorCritical]

@NathanFN same, I hope he comes in Kp3 or MK12

[@thisisnotachannel]

It never left the mainstream, for me. I stuck with MK since 1992. Through the good (most of the series), to the bad (looking at you, MKM: Sub-Zero), to the downright dreadful (Special Forces, anyone? No? Didn't think so)... but even at their worst, the main line MK games (Deadly Alliance, Deception, MK v DC) were great. And they even managed to do ONE side project proper justice (Shaolin Monks) to boot! That said, MK9 was definitely a return to form for the series. I just don't think MK ever left the mainstream.

[@thisisnotachannel]

@@HorrorCritical There is no Kombat Pack 3. It's a myth.

[@HorrorCritical]

@@thisisnotachannel yeah, I know that there won’t be a Kp3. I say that MK9 was the game that got MK back to mainstream because between 2007-2010, MK wasn’t mentioned a lot and was overshadowed by other fighting games(Super Smash Bros Brawl)

[@davy209]

MK9 was the fighting game that brought life back to the franchise and appealed to a whole new generation that made Mortal Kombat the best selling fighting game franchise as of now, beating out Super Smash Brothers, Dragon Ball Z, Tekken, and Street Fighter. MK9 is literally the greatest comeback story in video game history!

[@georgeliquor1236]

I remember getting this game as a graduation present in 2011. I was only 11 and was super hyped for this game. I remember playing the story mode in front of my parents. They were invested into it like it was some movie. It was really cool to see how far graphics come. Excellent video.

Mk9 still holds as best mortal Kombat in my opinion it had a great story 300 challenges on challenge tower. You can really main any character and still do well . Especially with tag team mode you can add a friend . I’m happy people still remember this after 10 years. Damn does time go by fast.

​​@@Codename_aetherMKX is the go to game for the best gameplay the franchise ever had, MK9 is the go to game for a best of everything type of deal. A timeless artstyle, incredible soundtrack, great gameplay, huge roster but not gigantic to make it boring, great gamemodes like Tag and unique Towers as well as Test Your Might/Sight (Balance on Vita, even), good story mode bar for the Sindel scene and just overall an incredibly pleasant experience, especially with the Krypt, all the extra Kostumes, battle damage, jiggle physics and pretty much anything you could ever desire. Nothing will top MK9 and MKX. These two will remain forever praised in MK history, and for good reason. And UMK3 will forever remain as the Midway era equivalent of these two.

They then showed off Scorpion’s fatality and assured everyone that it was gonna be rated M. Good times. Now I’m 22 and I don’t play MK11 at all LOL.

Their sequels were also massive successes, outselling their fighting game competitors by large margins as well! In just 11 years, MK is back on top as the most popular fighting game franchise to a new generation and all of it wouldn’t be possible without MK9!

I read the article and was blown away by what I read and the screen shots shown. Then a year later, I had just became newly single, I bought a ps3, and bought this game a week after, and I felt like I was taken back to the past. Then a month later, I came across the Komplete edition, and traded my copy for that. Glad I did since that one had Kratos and Freddy Krueger as the first non Mortal Kombat characters (not to mention that MK9 has since been removed after Wes Cravens estate bought back the rights to the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise, completely removing Freddy. Or something like that). Yeah, this game had its issues, but it didn't stop me from enjoying it. There are still hidden trophies on that game that I've yet to unlock after 10 years.

I wasn't able to redeem the codes or play online until like a whole month later, because of the PS3 cyber attacks, but there was so much single player and local multiplayer content to tide me over.

I was... 15? When MK9 got announced. It was a whirlwind of hype - I remember frequenting forums and discussing every little bit of information there (As well as winning a competition to write a "journalistic report" for all the available information, speculation, rumors, etc) - but also IRL, friends and family with whom I had played UMK3 or 4 or Armageddon or Shaolin Monks, all excited to see what was next. I saved up money as best I could to afford a PS3 just for MK9... it was well worth it!

I had Armageddon as a KID. My dad remembered the MK games as a kid so he grabbed it for our PS2. I was shocked he let us play a game so violent. So when MK9 dropped i was so hyped. I even bought the MK1-3 Xbox arcade. My friends never wanted to play against me because they played casually and i was addicted to this game. So tag team was great. 2v1. Baraka was my guy

MK9 and Injustice 2 - best fighting games from Netherrealm Studios.

I havent played serious before i played mk9. But when i picked up the game i was hooked, it looked amazing with the xray and how it was fast paste with the dashing, i loved how the combo’s worked, the resets and heavy execution combo’s 💯🔥!! They kept the basics the same with mkx and added running and interactables, Mk9 and Mkx are the most fun and satisfaying MortalKombat games i’ve played👌🏼💯 i had so much fun with tag team fights, i wish they would bring that back🙏🏼
