Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is (back) up on XBLA

Vrolokus · (10-20-2006, 11:58 PM)

Weird... sneak attack from Midway/MS.

p.s. Apparently it's not under New Releases yet, but it's there. A couple people on GameFAQs have it downloaded and on their Gamercards.

BuddyC · (10-20-2006, 11:58 PM)

Whaaa? If true, what the hell is with the Marketplace lately.

MMaRsu · (10-20-2006, 11:59 PM)

What?

O_o

How much points is it then?

MaestroRyan · (10-20-2006, 11:59 PM)

TEE

MATE

Foil · (10-20-2006, 11:59 PM)

How much? If it's 800+ I'm not buying it.

HUSH, or Arne will take it away from us!

BuddyC · (10-21-2006, 12:00 AM)

I'm not seeing it. You got some explainin' to do.

EDIT: Hahaha, it IS up! Just not under New Releases.

Coin Return · (10-21-2006, 12:00 AM)

Woot! Downloading now...

Its not under new releases, its under "all arcade titles"

pswii60 · (10-21-2006, 12:00 AM)

Just checked and you've wasted 2 mins of my life :(

EDIT: WTF! Why are some people seeing it? Is this a joke? Nothing on mine - I'm in the UK.

Haha it is out!

It isn't listed in new releases though.

Check ALL arcade downloads.

I'm getting it right now. :)

800 points.

CarlosX360 · (10-21-2006, 12:01 AM)

Someone take pics! :)

Vrolokus · (10-21-2006, 12:01 AM)

800 points, 43.62 MB.

It's there, I promise... unless they yank it for some reason. But it's there.

Sean · (10-21-2006, 12:01 AM)

Holy crap you are right! It must be a mistake though, so I'm downloading it now before it gets pulled. It doesn't show up in the Newly Released section, but it's there under "All games" or whatever.

Here's the description:

43.62mb
Single player, Xbox Live Multiplayer 2-4, HD (high-definition). Test your might! Try ULTIMATE Mortal Kombat 3 and see if you have what it takes to FIGHT!

demi · (10-21-2006, 12:01 AM)

IT's THERE!!! DOWNLIADNG

Coin Return · (10-21-2006, 12:02 AM)

Was the Playstation version arcade perfect? Or is this the first AP release of it?

Wario64 · (10-21-2006, 12:02 AM)

hyp · (10-21-2006, 12:02 AM)

Yep.

MaestroRyan · (10-21-2006, 12:02 AM)

all i'm seeing is "playmates of the carribean" for 2400 points what are you guys talking about

edit: oh NOT UNDER NEW RELEASES

Shawnwhann · (10-21-2006, 12:03 AM)

**** you Microsft for making me broke as a joke. SC

A, Lumines+Rape Pack, now Mortal Kombat?!? I'm gonna be broke when it time for my cruise in a couple weeks. :(

darkbanjo · (10-21-2006, 12:03 AM)

OMG IT'S UP!

Coin Return · (10-21-2006, 12:03 AM)

Its downloading pretty slowly for a 43 MB file...27%...

BuddyC · (10-21-2006, 12:04 AM)

All complete here. So we get a surprise UMK3 but no Tony Hawk demo? Eh?

EDIT: Digital Eclipse did this?

It feels like the first AP. It doesn't feel like the final UMK3, the controls doesn't even feel similar to final.

The graphics aren't even on par with the Arcade version.

I remember UMK3 being graphically crisp. Even the playstation versions of MK's have always been crisp, well, except for MKTrilogy, and MK4.

Space A Cobra · (10-21-2006, 12:04 AM)

I said I'd pass and yet I'm going to buy it. What the **** is wrong with me.

pswii60 · (10-21-2006, 12:05 AM)

yeah it's up in the UK under all downloads. Yeah, I honestly think someone at MS made a booboo - surely this was just meant for partnernet

LakeEarth · (10-21-2006, 12:05 AM)

Downloading. Maybe this is an apology over Lumines

C4Lukins · (10-21-2006, 12:05 AM)

I knew I should have brought my 360 on vacation with me.

I think the next-day Advance pack was apology enough. Still, this one comes right out of left field.

Mrbob · (10-21-2006, 12:06 AM)

Well I played the trial and it disconnects me from Xbox Live when I try to play it.

The Advance pack was suppose to be out at the same time I think but the XBL problems prevented it from releasing

Sean · (10-21-2006, 12:09 AM)

Yeah disconnected me from Xbox Live too as soon as I started, and it won't let me log in.

I am not sure if this means its unfinished (probably) or if that's just the trial version or what. I would not buy it yet until it's supposed to be out officially.

Vrolokus · 12:13 AM

Sorry, misunderstood you. :(

Bog · (10-21-2006, 12:09 AM)

Yeah, I get disconnected when I play it.

Same here.

Makes sense.

123rl · (10-21-2006, 12:09 AM)

It's available on the UK Marketplace. Thanks for this...lol I wonder if it's supposed to be out now, or if someone's made a mistake somewhere. Why release a fairly high profile game like this at such a weird time of the day?

SanjuroTsubaki · (10-21-2006, 12:10 AM)

Purchased it...cannot play online for the moment....moment being until Wednesday ftl.

He's asking about the PS2 version, I have it.

Hayami · (10-21-2006, 12:10 AM)

you guys can thank my pal Kurt S. (name protected) at Microsoft for his.

WAY TO GO KURT!

edit: guess I should give some backstory--Kurt sent me an email this afternoon saying he was getting fired and to "expect something big" on XBLA from him.

you did it buddy!

Sean · (10-21-2006, 12:10 AM)

Maybe they made a mistake and released this instead of the Tony Hawk demo?

Coin Return · (10-21-2006, 12:11 AM)

Oh, no I meant the version of Mortal Kombat 3 for the original Playstation. I remember it being pretty close to the arcade version but I wasn't sure.
