Fatality: Mortal Kombat II disappears from PSN photo

The best game to ever grace arcades, Mortal Kombat II, has apparently gone missing in the PlayStation Store. Users on the official PlayStation forum are reporting the title has been delisted both from the store and their download history, thus making downloading impossible.

The trailer for the coin-op hit is still present on the network, despite its new missing status. Interestingly, the title has yet to be removed from European users' lists, which indicates the situation is probably the result of a glitch. Users reporting the problem are being met with several different answers from both Midway and Sony at this time.

This situation hits at an unfortunate moment considering most people looking for the title are seeking to celebrate Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe's imminent release. Mortal Kombat II also proudly features Johnny Cage, easily the best character in a fighting game ever. MK II also introduced Mileena, the worst character ever created in a fighting game.

That screen shows one of my favourite movies as a child.
Endless fighting on raging techno music for gains.

@Piellar - KMFDM, better than the best. Megalomaniacal and harder than the rest.

Johnny Cage the best character in a fighting game ever? Sir, I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic, otherwise I'll have to assume you just forgot about all the other ones.

I barely downloaded this game a while back, and then realized how crappy I am at fighting games.

Mileena was the top tiered character in MKII. Followed by Jax. I just assumed play as weaker characters that weren't lame to use.

MKII Best Game ever to grace an arcade? Oh excuse me, for a second I thought it was Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Haha, Brandon Undead beat me to it. Mileena is definitely top tier.

I still got love for Cage though. They need to bring him back.

He meant the best game ever to grace arcades in which all the characters have the same move set.

Guess it's a good thing I got it before it went into hiding.

Johnny Cage isn't even the best Mortal Kombat character.

Seriously, what? No warning, nothing? It wasn't a priority to me, but I kinda figured I'd buy it one of these days for the hell of it, and now it's gone? Very very poor show, Sony/Midway. Microsoft makes some mention of delisting in the future and everyone complains about it so nothing happens, but you just delist it without any warning.

Reminds me of that "glitch" where the prices of everything in the Playstation Store suddenly rose.

@ Piellar;

That screen shows one of my worst movies I've ever had to witness as a teenager. As least, the first twenty minutes before me and my friend realised just how inferior it was to the original.

I hate to say it Brad, but I really dislike Mortal Kombat II.

But Johnny Cage is awesome. And Kano.

Mortal kombat 2 sucked then and now, and it could not even hold a candle to the trashy Tekken series that is also on PsN, and you can get tons of other real fighting games for your PS3.



It will not be missed.
