I really should have had this up a week or two ago, but better late than never I suppose! Mortal Kombat wasn't a big part of my childhood, it was mostly Tekken and a bit of Street Fighter for me. I definitely recognize the song, but for me, it doesn't have the nostalgic meaning that it will probably have for others.
I tried to make this one more of a remix than my usual videos. The arrangement is completely my own and I've taken elements from the 2021 version of the theme to make my own version. I really like how it turned out

[@Rocket1377]

I still think it's really weird that this theme is so famous and synonymous with Mortal Kombat, and yet it has never been used in the videogames.

[@OjaroLobo]

The tournament stage in MK11 has a remix version and the launch trailer also used another remix of it, but yeah not the original version which is annoying

[@THETHREELEMONS]

What was it used in then?

[@painvillegaming4119]

@@THETHREELEMONS i Guess the movie

[@glarnboudin4462]

I think it was the music they used for, well, the original arcade machines.

[@PsychoGoldVideos]

@@THETHREELEMONS created for the original movie. Nothing to do with the games originally. That film had a major influence on the games direction and story.

[@Mate397]

Surely you know that there were Mortal Kombat films in the 90's right? That's where the theme is from, the current movie uses a crappy remix in the end credits.

[@loirigudo]

You are a weird dude aren't you?

[@S.C23]

Its already out dude, has been for a week

[@gradymc2633]

Let me tell you now. If you’re a fan of M.K you’ll love the movie. It has more backstory behind the characters. I watched it on HBO Max. I’d recommend to any fan.

[@davidcha8202]

@@gradymc2633 not true at all, so many things were wrong and not only is it a bad mk movie it’s a bad movie in general. Just cause it got the tiniest bit of mk gore right don’t mean the characters were done right

[@RadicalVelocity]

We must consult with the Elder Gods of how epik this is!

This is the theme song the movie needed. Not that 2021 dance nonsense.

[@MrLeroyFox]

You should be ashamed of that comment.

[@TheNightWolfeX]

Technically that was an EDM remix of the OG theme that is also considered to be EDM. MK11 has a similar theme for it's launch trailer that was done by an EDM artist.
