Mortal Kombat Wii: New screens

it just seems to easy to do moves/combos in this game

This came is going to suck. There are some games that the Wiimote feels very good with, and I think beat 'em ups aren't one of them.

Why is it that promo material every Wii game has to show some asshole user waving the wiimote around?

mmm well, seeing as 90% of the games out for the wii at the moment are horrible movie tie-ins, or poorly made FPSs, this is a breath of fresh air.

and I believe the developers mentioned you can use the classic controller if you don't like using the wiimote.

certainly looking forward to playing this, as since I completed zelda and wario ware, my wii is getting a bit dusty :(

I think Dragonball Z proved that a fighter is a whole other ball game on the Wii. It's going to be a lot slower and rougher on people when they have to start moving like a fighter does in a fighting game.

I look forward to what this game's potential can be, but am I excited about it enough to buy it? nah.

I'm not a MK guy. I like Soul Caliber and Virtual Fighter.

Dragonball Z for the Wii wasn't half bad once you learned the basic Wiimote + Nunchuk movements. those movements felt really close to the actual blast attacks your character made, so it really helped in putting you into the game. MK's gesture controls look like glorified button commands, which should NOT be the direction fighters should go on the Wii.

Actually MK armageddon is the big reason why I keep my xbox around, it is not soulcalibur or even DOA but creating your own characters and then send them to kill each other is highly entertaining, I like the use of the wiimote for this one, replacing over complicated button combos (for a newb) with simple hand movements, pretty neat.

Heres some kaks that are quite fun to use in MK:
Kratos
Jack Thompson (my favorite to fight with)
CL (from GTA:SA)
Robert Summa ;)
Samus aran (from Smash Brawl)
Mario (Ultra realistic version)

I just miss the old-school Shaw Brothers movie-like character designs. You know, when they actually looked like they came out of a kung fu movie as opposed to some crap comic book characters my little brother drew in his book during math class.

I'm gonna miss the old x,x,x and a,b,y combos (xbox version)

Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but I don't think that this is a good move for the Mortal Kombat Series. My dorm is full of MK fanatics, and we didn't like armageddon as much as deception. Besides character choice and an awesome story mode, there were numerous issues, including hits that didn't count, etc.

Now with the Wii controller scheme, I don't think the game will even feel the same. Call me crazy, but fighting games are about button combos.

As a Wii owner, I guess I'll have to try it and see how it comes out, but I'm skeptical. MK needs to get back to its roots ><

old Mk > street fighter too bad the franchise is now crap
