Mortal Kombat Select Screen Evolution MK To MK1 (1992 - 2023)

[@Frosterino]

The Midway games had the best select screens for sure. The colour, the unique backgrounds, the different character poses, the music, the backgrounds. We don't even get unique select screen music anymore its just the same menu theme.

[@seanbirch]

don't forget the backgrounds!

[@silasandersongraves1600]

mk1 loading is mad dope tho u gotta say

[@unbroken7780]

I always thought as a kid MK4 was a horror game going to this local arcade I had. The sound of when you throw a head and the gameover scene was the stuff of nightmares I tell ya...😅

[@supersmashlover926]

I thought I was the only one 😭 I remember when I was little, I stayed at a hotel and back then they used to have game consoles where you can play demos, I played mk4 out of curiosity and ofc I was piss poor at it, and when it showed the game over screen and my character falling down and being stabbed by the spikes it kept me up all night😂😅

[@Nezquic97]

They need to bring that atmosphere back to MK, and that game over, fall to your death pit lol

[@Wrizmo]

I’m sorry but those 3D mortal kombat games hold a special place in my memories. Character designs looked elite, the music, the game modes like chess, the story, being able to launch someone into another part of the stage or into a fatal part. Games were too ahead of their time

[@rafaelpbperezbello2443]

Mk deception its the peak

[@sarbecuebauce]

Thanks for saying sorry

Well in their eyes you would be a child considering it's the 9th installment in the series. If it's the first mortal kombat you were exposed to.

My first mk game was deception but mk9 has been my favorite so far because i had so much fun with friends online on that game.

[@mantic0ore]

Same bro

[@alexandroskel1186]

My first Mortal Kombat was Shaolin Monks and Armageddon , pure nostalgia and awesome times

[@leandrojuegaotros9968]

Me to my friend :D

[@MohamadMohmoudRayan]

It was the best PlayStation 2 game 😢

[@Boxdx2]

Sounds crazy but my first game was mk9 i remember

[@grams18]

I started with MK 3 Ultimate SNES version back then but didn´t plyed every single game after that. Also played "Deadly Alliance, Deception & Armageddon" wich all three are very sick titles. ^^

[@WordSonFoRealz]

These comparison videos are sweet. Loved the Armageddon one.

[@TheAceLewis]

“Mortal kombat 1995 theme but the announcer names every kharacter who has ever been in mortal kombat.”

[@tamagotchiil]

Grandpa voice

[@JARED8946]

Shang Tsung

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

My favorite style is X and 1 (the new one) because for some reason I see characters easier being in a horizontal format, like reading a book left to right, rather than having to look all the way down vertical so it makes it easier to see to me. Plus it gives room to show animated characters and such. I've also only played X and 11 since I've only played the modern ones

[@ZetaRho62]

Ever since MK DA the character select screen has alternated between vertical and horizontal

[@marcel0233]

Go play the old ones

[@NaughtiusMaximmus]

Only play the old ones if you want to

[@kuru_vtuber]

Mk 3 / trilogy is the best IMO. The graphic looks very real than the others. I still remember playing it on my Sega Megadrive, what a gold time.

[@Googaliemoogalie]

Because they were actor scans till MK4

[@t-lighting21]

11:42 I love this game man the free fall and the running through walls was so good even the voice was giving me the chills

[@Soulkollextor]

My earliest literal memory was seeing my brother and cousins playing mortal kombat 1 & 2. I’ve been playing MK, Street fighter and Tekken since like 5/6 yrs old.

[@gabbyflores9047]

Bro what😂

[@lamb-tika-cod4934]

Mk2 forever my favourite

[@damhatrebloc]

we need Herman sanchez, steve richie, and Ed boon doing his announcer voice from Mk1 1992. We need all those added into mk1

[@JARED8946]

I agree. I miss the original Shang Tsung as the announcer and also the 3D Era announcer.

[@barbieberg5864]

22:23 bud DEFINITELY didn't forget the guest characters 💀💀

[@spotongaming4943]

It was September, they weren't there yet

[@arnaldosalinas1582]

Na minha opinião, os 5 melhores mk são deception deadly aliance armageddon 9 e Shaolin monks.

[@rafaelpbperezbello2443]

Mk 11 is good

[@luizz3945]

I know that armageddon characters where simplified but Having a roster like armageddon and then mk 1 being fckng $69.99 for not even the half of characters and even charging for extra characters is just stupid, damn even armageddon had the kharacter kreation, they don't even try now

[@Eh.........]

Just pre-ordering digital games is stupid of its own. There's unlimited supply of digital copies, and there's no reason, not even an excuse to pay extra 20$+ for a character or a feature. Pre-ordering still exists because of idiots throwing cash left and right, regardless how expensive a game is, let alone a digital copy which at any moment be legally taken down from store and your own library without refunds

[@maciejpolak2458]

MK4 was my first fighting game ever It had a weird vibe but i loved the select screen, menu and sound effects

[@sheriffdraws8789]

Shaolin Monks with the best announcer voice

[@Boneymation]

I miss the feeling of 3D MK select themes. MK9 kept it very well

[@NightxMarex]

First mk game i was exposed to was armageddon at the age of 4 or 5 and instantly loved it. Now currently 21 and i love every mk game flaws and all

[@Beguilerz]

My first MK was the first one and on floppy Disk for the Amiga..i am old ha..i remember trying to freeze someone as sub zero to finish him and it pulled the guys head off so i hid under my desk for awhile 😅

[@MalavitaLya]

После этого видео начинаешь понимать почему в Комео мк 1 добавили новую джанет кейдж, ибо по сути больше некого добавлять из старичков прошлого (интересных старичков)

[@jackbadrick1598]

Its still Jameson price doing the announcer in MK1 but i do prefer how they tuned him in MK9 and X better. He sounded to robotic in 11 so atleast in 1 it sounds more natural but 9 did it the best, natural but deeper and more menacing sounding then in 1.

[@valhalax25]

They need to increase the ratio of female characters to male characters. Its always extremely disproportionate.

[@NewGabeOrder]

I've noticed that Deception, Unchained and MK9 onwards have 1P's cursor start on Scorpion and 2P's cursor start on Sub-Zero. Can't they start on Noob Saibot (1P) and Rain (2P) instead? At least these are beginner-friendly ninjas. Also, it's a shame Noob Saibot didn't make it to Mortal Kombat 1. I just hope future games finally have the cursors start on players other than Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

[@rafaelpbperezbello2443]

Scorpion and sub zero It is for midway/netherrealm what Mario and Luigi is for Nintendo.

[@NewGabeOrder]

@@rafaelpbperezbello2443 Even so, they aren't the main face anyways. Sure Scorpion and Sub-Zero are popular among the MK fans, but I grew up with Noob Saibot and Rain considering their "noob-friendly" status. Like my idea of Noob Saibot and Rain being selected first for 1P and 2P respectively, I was expecting something along the lines of "evil vs. good". The actual villain and hero of the Mortal Kombat series as a whole is Shang Tsung and Liu Kang. If Noob and Rain won't work, then Shang Tsung (1P) and Liu Kang (2P) can work.

[@NaughtiusMaximmus]

​@@NewGabeOrder sorry, but Scorpion IS the face of the franchise, Sub-Zero aswell

[@NewGabeOrder]

@@NaughtiusMaximmus I always thought it's Liu Kang, considering his involvement with the Main Story, and with one of his Animalities resembling The Dragon Logo found in many Mortal Kombat games since II.

1:17 I Remember playing this on the Xbox 360 Including MK1 And MK2 On My Xbox

Why can’t they take mk back to the 3d era midway days? They still had that dark creepy and arcade feel to them 🤦‍♀️
