800 msp, is that right? I'm sure it is, but it seems too good to be true. Would love to play the original version again!

Oh God, YES! I had a feeling this was coming, as the new MK title has been received so well. This, along with all those rumors of a collection last year. Especially with UMK3 being delisted, this will give new players a chance at online play again. This time, we'll assume, with button mapping allowed in the options. The lack of that completely destroyed my ability to play the Live Arcade port of UMK3 properly.

Should've done it like Pinball FX 2 and sold us each version seperately for a total of 600G or something nice like that.

I guess this means the original UMK3 arcade game will never return...

I'm sold! Thank God it's not a PS3 exclusive as previously announced!
Okay, now I will break out the arcade stick that came with my Tournament Edition. dance
EDIT: I already own Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and all its gamer pics, but I'm okay with it. MKI and MKII are better games. MKII is the best, but I've mastered MKI.
IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS. YOU GOT THE BFG9000!! OH, YES.

Awesome. I recently tried upgrading to the full version, but it's not on the marketplace, so I guess I have to stick with the trial until this comes out. Nice that they're bundling them all for such a great price.

I can't wait. Glad to see it come through and will buy day 1. Glad to see that they are doing a close to perfect port from the arcades.
