This definitely bring back memories,I’ll never forget,9th grade,September 13,1994. Was the day I got the phone call from FuncoLand letting me know I can pick up Mortal Kombat 2 for the super NES. Had to have a parent with me to pick it up,because it was rated mature,talk about excitement building up! Knowing that this time there’s Blood and all the fatalities,friendships.I couldn’t wait till school ended that day,and that same night was the summer Slam pre recorded pay per view when the Undertaker Vs Undertaker. You don’t get to many good Tuesdays like that. Good times back in the 90’s.

I remember playing the water down version , if you didnt feel like going to the arcade. For those who werent around to witness the birth of mortal kombat, especially mk 2 , its one of those things that you had to be there to know how huge mk2 got. At the time street fighter hyper fighting was the shit and rightfully so . But when mk2 came out it left street fighter miles behind . Mk2 was louder bigger faster , it had blood and gore and fatalities it was definitely an upgrade to mk 1. I always read or hear that the best mk game is mk9 and i dont argue with that , i myself go back and forth but i guess because mk2 was on arcade and in order to play it you had to go with your friends to the arcade and wait your turn. How many kids would stand around this game and wait their turn was mind blowing , there was a magic that you just dont get with a release of games today. Im not taking anything away from this generation i understand times change but for the lucky ones who were there you guys know what im talking about.

[@BushyStallion]

And I my friend know exactly what you’re talking about. I’m 44 and remember when MK2 came out in arcades and you nailed the description of that time right on the head. Thanks for sharing bro. I will say, while MK9 had the biggest impact on me of the newer games, it’ll still never compare to my initial reaction when MK and especially MK2 came out 👊🏼

[@hitmanhatton]

There was nothing like MK or the the first 2 sequels when they were in the arcade.. I think part of it was that performing the fatalities or finishers were like putting in special codes that not everyone knew.. plus you had to win in order to do it. Do not only was the game exciting and doing something that other games in the genre hadn't done before. It made you feel special just for playing it.

[@senseijuve6704]

Let's say that the most iconic was certainely Mortal Kombat II, i totally agree with what you said. The best... I would'n't say that as the gameplay was a bit bold and didn't aged as well as Street Fighter II for example who is still played on some kind of old school e-sport tournament. MK9 was only the renaissance after all those poor sequel on Ps2, MK hype finally came back with the 9 and a more competitive gameplay on the long term.

[@brenttitus2134]

Everyone was blown away by the graphics and gore, it blew out minds. We had so much fun! Then my mum and her friends came in the room to see what all the noise was about, just as a fatality was being performed. The next day she made me take it back to swap it, shouting at the store owner for selling it to a 9 year old... I ended up being coerced into buying Mario's Missing, sigh... Anyway, MK2 was fkin awesome and ofcourse me and the boys pooled our resources and bought the game again 3 days later, playing in secret whenever we could. Awesome game, awesome memories 😂

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

Mortal Kombat II was essentially SNES saying "f**k it". With MK 1 they tried to adhere to Nintendo of America's standard of being a bit more family friendly and they ended up boosting their competition (Sega) because Sega was willing to have blood and more graphic fatalities in MK1. So with MK2 Nintendo decided to not repeat the mistake, kept in all the blood and fatalities. The result was Super Nintendo releasing a vastly superior port of MK2 compared to the Sega Genesis port.

[@BushyStallion]

Thanks for sharing that bro, what a time to be alive back then 👊🏼

[@MrSamPhoenix]

I remember this arcade port of Mortal Kombat 2 for the SNES. Man was it one of the most amazing ports ever done. It’s crazy what they did with just 24-Megabits (3MB) of ROM space. It was like having the arcade at home as I played the original and the SNES came damn close to it. And Scultured Software deserves high praise, as they used every drop of processing power the SNES offered to full effect. I wonder what they could’ve achieved with more ROM space

[@Aeon2Flux]

Then Sculptured went and made the Genesis MK3 even closer to the arcade than their own MK3.. Something about the sound of the dial up combos on snes bothered me like Probe being lazy on the sound in Genesis MKII. On MK3 Genesis when you do a dial up combo you hear the cracks of all the punches and followed by arcade accurate screams and shouts from the male ,female and even Sheeva s yells.It s hard to explain it but it makes so much of a difference. When you start a dial up on Snes you get 2 muffled punch sounds and the rest is followed by generic uh uh uh uh s.. sounds and it bothered me like All of the Arcade sound effects removed on the Genesis MKII.. Probe was really bad with MKII they managed to botch 3 different ports across 3 different consoles..All 3 in a different way than the last. One of them being on Sega Saturn..Sculptured squeezed so much out of that aging 16 bit Genesis and I really wished they had handled all 3 versions of MK s for SNES and Genesis. They clearly had better talent.They understood and properly utilized the hardware of each console for the closest arcade to home experience.

Unlike the first one there was no blood code but since she never saw blood from the first game she went ahead and got it for me. It’s weird I haven’t thought about that in 30 years until I watched this video. Thanks for the flashback. Also, thank you to the employee who told her it’s because the characters were scary looking so it got a MA-17

[@BushyStallion]

Lol that’s an awesome memory bro thank you for sharing your experience. Had to love the good ol’ rating system back then that this game produced. 👊🏼

[@pmorrison77]

I had the Genesis version growing up and it had a lot of cool hidden menu stuff, but I always looked forward to going to my friends houses who had the SNES version. Seemed so much smoother playing-wise than the Sega version.

[@FranciscoMartinez-uc3hx]

I remember waking up at 5am and playing this game while my dad got ready for work, good times.

[@ReginaldAnteel]

I loved my copy of the SNES version of much. Having watched ppl play at the video shop. I remember the first time I actually managed to get to Shao Kahn I was so exited as a kid. MK2 is always going to be the best imo. Anyway Merry Kristmas! Hope you and your family have a great holiday 🤘

[@BushyStallion]

Sounds like good memories right there :) Merry Kristmas my friend, I like that 👊🏼

[@WaynesWorld12]

When you talked about pops i felt that. My dad loved MK and bought me every game before he passed years ago. Who doesn't love MK? Snes for the win on the port side!

[@gavinbelton5042]

This game was so much better than the Mortal Kombat games out now. There are too many controls and buttons to make moves. Mortal Kombat 2 had plenty of moves but not alot. You had to master the moves and timing. Thats what made the game great. You could master your favourite character's moves and enjoy the great graphics.

[@elneneromeo2224]

This brings good old child memories.

[@BushyStallion]

Excellent, the nostalgia is what it’s all about 👊🏼

[@jsenigaglia]

The amount of time I spent playing this in middle school is mind boggling. DK Country, too. '94 was unreal.

[@justinlalugski2083]

same here brother

[@miamimagicians]

I love this game so much! It was such an amazing time watching the super Nintendo fight the Sega genesis watching WCW vs WWF This was just incredible time. One of the best games ever come out during this time as donkey, con country2

[@BushyStallion]

It was epic, the console wars lol good memories my friend 👊🏼

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

My stepfather wouldn't let my little brother play MK when we were younger. So we would wait until he falls asleep then we would play this for couple hours quietly.

[@BushyStallion]

Lol many kids were in the same boat lol I hid this from my parents for a short period also, until my Dad caught me and thought the game was awesome also lol

[@trustnoone3007]

@@BushyStallionNow we’re the parents or took over their roles, if you have kids 🤣. Our parents were nearly strict as hell!

[@rodrigomarcondes5857]

this cart was my childhood. Absolute beast of a home port. I played it to death.

[@BushyStallion]

Good times my man 👊🏼

[@GodFist215]

My very first console snes🥺 I owned only 2 games at the time super Mario world and mk2. Good times.

[@ADreamPC]

A teacher brought this in back in 94 for us to play on the dinner time. The winner stopped on and i managed to beat everyone and do all the gruesome fatalitys lol. I had all the guides and magazines. Great times

[@jzj2212]

I miss the guides

[@duanenewland6227]

I am totally old-school. I grew up with Atari, but yet I love Mortal Kombat.

[@ADreamPC]

@@duanenewland6227 yea same, before all this I was playing similar games on my spectrum Zx such as barbarian or target renegade.. that was like the streets of rage of the 80s. I miss my speccy and guide books. On my Atari xe I had Panther and classics like missile command.. great times

[@MrSamPhoenix]

This is the best home version of MK2.

[@petr79]

only ms-dos version is better

[@Nobunaga1983]

Sega 32x version is the best but no one had a 32x

[@MrSamPhoenix]

@@Nobunaga1983 about the only thing I liked about the 32x version were the sharper sprites. Mostly everything else was exactly like the Sega Genesis version… with the exception of the extra voices. Overall the SNES is still king when it comes to the MK2 port.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

@@petr79 most people never really played that version.

[@kurtsydavis7517]

No the sega Saturn version is

[@flightofapaullo72]

In the process of restoring my MK 2 arcade machine. Such great memories. Awesome video!

[@BushyStallion]

Do you have an actual MK arcade cab? Dude that would be a dream of mine if I could ever find a real cab at a decent price.

[@GenericBoringName428]

Best MK game ever

[@BushyStallion]

👊🏼

[@giltyascharged]

i grew up with this version. i didnt know any better,.. until i played the arcade version later.. and realized the sprites look way better.. and bigger

[@BushyStallion]

Bigger and better was cool but the SNES version was still amazing, thanks for the comment 👊🏼

[@drew9351]

A million times better than the sega version it's not even close

[@BushyStallion]

The Sega version DID have some very redeeming qualities however..

[@evansusmc]

@@BushyStallion which redeeming qualities? I’m legit curious.

[@BushyStallion]

@@evansusmc depending on preference, the music was different, and very catchy… also there was no slowdown on the Genesis version at all. Always ran perfectly for how they ported it. Um, I guess those are the only redeeming qualities I can think of lol

[@evansusmc]

@@BushyStallion well they strayed very much away from the arcade as far as the music goes but maybe it was catchy to some. A bit clangy though. No slow down, true. Although the amount of slowdown in the SNES version was very rare in my experience.

[@BushyStallion]

@@evansusmc you’re right also, but like yourself I was very much pro SNES when it came to MK2 👊🏼

[@miamimagicians]

Also mk3 on both consoles just as amazing! They ported freaking alpha 2! That’s insane

[@BushyStallion]

I’m definitely gonna have to try Alpha 2 on SNES. I only played it on Arcade and PS1.

[@unclerukmer]

I played the hell out of the SNES version as a kid. 100% my favorite version.

[@BushyStallion]

Agreed 👊🏼

[@angeleyes885]

Wow, that was great to watch. Brought me back to my young years. I got this game the week it came out for SNES, it was such a huge upgrade from MK1.

[@BushyStallion]

Thank you my friend, hopefully you have good memories with this one, it was fantastic! 👊🏼

[@brunoramos9747]

I remember in this game you can do secrets at the character select for more fatality time and different things

[@BushyStallion]

Apparently.. someone else commented similar. I don’t remember ever using or even knowing of any codes for the SNES version. I’ll definitely have to try some out now.

[@benjaminferguson5838]

More Fatality time code is Up, Up, Left, Up, Down + Select at the Character Select Screen.

[@BushyStallion]

@@benjaminferguson5838 maybe that’s why these Fatalities are so ingrained in my brain because I had so little time to do them cause I didn’t know the codes for SNES lol

[@benjaminferguson5838]

@BushyStallion Good Times for sure! I remember getting the monthly gaming magazines like Game Pro or Game Players so I could have a hard copy of the cheat codes for Mortal Kombat 2. No internet back then made it a little harder to beat a game. Thanks for sharing these videos. They take me back to my youth!

[@BushyStallion]

@@benjaminferguson5838 Gamepro was my favourite of all the video games mags back in the day. Nintendo Power a close second. No internet was a wonderful thing lol well, maybe not completely wonderful but great for the time, it was exciting finding out codes through magazines and hearsay. Anyways no problem my friend, enjoy the rest of your week 👊🏼

[@desmondboone6226]

Memories I definitely remember my Grandma surprised me with MK1 & MK2 made my day luv miss those days😢 good play Bro

[@BushyStallion]

Thank you. Hope they were good memories my friend and the nostalgia lives on.

[@PolishMuscle1981]

I remember this being impossible to get at Blockbuster Video when it came out!

[@landusrigsby3776]

My favorite version of Mortal Kombat II. I was so stocked the day this came out and I bought it for the SNES. So many great memories you brought back with this video. Until Mortal Kombat 9 came out, this gane was hands down my favorite in the series.

[@TheOldest]

Love MK2, personally my favorite version is the 32X port. Corrected the animation errors and limited color pallet from the Genesis version and added the Arcade cabinet story intros and endings.

[@BushyStallion]

Right on! I JUST played the 32X version again and it’s pretty good. Maybe I’ll drop the gameplay video soon 👊🏼 thanks for the comment

[@bluflaim36]

Acclaim always has the best intros that included the game chacrters messing with the logo. Turok was one of my favriote

[@BushyStallion]

I don’t remember the intro to Turok but this intro was actually an Easter egg in which you had to hold down L and R in order for it to work. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼

[@chadkirk150]

I prefer this port over the Genesis because it felt more of a complete game. I call MK2 on SNES the redemption port after the censored MK1.

[@KoolKeithProductions]

MK2 was the first game l got for my genesis. I loved it. Played it every single day. But then l went over to my friend's house who had the SNES version, and l was blown away. It made me hate the genesis version 😢

[@BushyStallion]

I believe they were both great ports in their own right. Pros and cons with each.

[@BushyStallion]

They definitely redeemed themselves with MK2 on SNES

[@KoolKeithProductions]

@@BushyStallion Yeah the genesis version isn't a "bad" port at all. It was just extremely lacking when it gets compared to the snes. Even the 32x version looked like trash in comparison. Really, it EMBARRASSED Sega, which made them ditch Probe and higher the same ppl who made the snes port for MK3, which was a major set up

[@Cumogemot]

so memorable, i have this version on Sega 16 bit those day

[@easportslegend]

Dog can’t believe I literally sat back and watched you play the whole game 😂. Good times

Very nice brings back memories u mention that u could not do Shang Tsung stage fatality d,d,u,d try holding block I did that back in the day and it worked hope to see more vids soon merry Christmas

[@BrutalJuice138]

You are correct sir. Only way I could ever get it to work.

[@BushyStallion]

I’ve tried every which way, I believe on the arcade at least it doesn’t actually work in the Pit 2 stage only the Kombat Tomb. I could be wrong but I’ve gotten so used to just morphing into Subs or Scorpion and doing theirs that I haven’t even tried Shangs input in forever. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼

[@matteven]

The only reason I chose Genesis over SNES was due to Sega having the blood code in MK1. Then MK2 dropped on SNES and my world was shattered. Best home port of all time.

[@EmperorGuyver]

Wrong lol

[@BushyStallion]

I think a lot of people stuck with Genesis MK because of part 1 having the blood code, however I’m also pretty sure many people jumped ship into SNES when this game came out lol

[@evansusmc]

@@EmperorGuyverpoint out what he was “wrong” about. Good luck

[@EmperorGuyver]

@@BushyStallion No they didnt.. thats just nintendo babies trying to change history lol
