Thinking back on how much I enjoyed Mortal Kombat, the upcoming PlayStation Vita version sounds intriguing, especially since I never got around to downloading any of the post-release characters. Over on the PlayStation Blog, NetherRealm Studios' own Ed Boon teases what's in store.
This version contains everything from the PS3 release and runs at 60 frames per second. Recognizing the Challenge Tower as being a good match for handheld gaming, the team decided to add a second one. This new one has 150 challenges, some of which make full use of the Vita hardware.
There won't be a touch-only mode, but Mortal Kombat will let you perform fatalities with the front touch screen for increased accessibility. I was fully prepared to pass on this version. They're not making it easy.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

This will be my first fighting game on the Vita.
Hmmm. Indeed all the post release content is included. Straightforward port but, it is pumped to the gill with all the premium content and extra goodies. Sounds really good for someone that has never played the game and even more so for someone that just want to take all those experiences away from the couch.
I'll still pass on Vita simply because I don't want to but a portable system if I know I'll never take it anywhere, especially since I have a phone with a built-in gamepad.
Played a bunch of Vita Games tonight here in chicago at the Vita "hill" Social club with fellow dtoider ChicagOriginal...
Really looking forward to it, if you've got one of these social clubs in your area, definitely check it out, they're giving out $100 psn cards every day as prizes!
Do you mean if you can transfer save files and/or cross multiplay with a PS3? Ed Boon (MK series creator) stated in a PS Blog interview that cross multiplayer between devices/consoles is not implemented.
EB: No. We’ve been working with PS Vita for quite a while. We had a lot of conversations about what we could do with it; I thought it would be cool to have an extra bonus for players who bought both the PS3 and PS Vita versions. We talked about unlocking a new character, or having some sort of new mode that enabled you to control the game from your PS Vita…but unfortunately, it’s coming up on a year since the PS3 version came out and we never found a way to marry the two versions together.
Hope that helped! :)
