For the first time ever on the Nintendo Wii, players will be able to experience the latest chapter in Midway's award-winning, best selling video game fighting franchise, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. With the most complete roster ever, including more than 60 fighters from the entire Mortal Kombat universe (past, present and future), a revolutionary Kreate-A-Fighter mode and Kreate-A-Fatality mode, plus a brand new Konquest mode and Endurance Mode, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon promises to be the most complete, intensely lethal, fighting experience ever!

Features:
Exclusive to the Wii: Players will be able to take their fighting action to a whole new level with all special moves and fatalities executed via the Wii-mote. In addition, not only will gamers be able to enjoy all aspects of Armageddon with the Wii-mote, but the GameCube and Classic Controller as well!
New Endurance Mode Comes to the Wii: Appearing for the first time on consoles, Armageddon will feature a deeply enhanced Endurance Mode, allowing gamers to test their true fighting stamina.
Select from more than 60 characters from the Entire Mortal Kombat Fighting Universe: From Liu Kang to Shang Tsung to Shao Kahn, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon will feature more playable fighters than any other Mortal Kombat game to date.
All-New Customized Kreate-A-Fighter Mode: For the first time ever in a Mortal Kombat game players will be able to use a Kreate-A-Fighter feature to create and define their fighter's look, abilities and personality with a deep level of customization and take that unique fighter online.
Unique Kreate-A-Fatality System: Fans now have the ability to create their own custom fatalities by stringing together a series of attacks via a series of button combos; those that prove worthy can take their very own death moves online to showcase to the world.
Entirely Revamped and Improved Konquest Mode: What formally served as a training mission has evolved into a full-blown adventure. [Midway]

to be honest i'v never really played many mortal combat games (the films were soo bad). i'v always stuck to my soul calaber on my dreamcast. allthough it looks quite promising, i wonder what other beat'um ups will be coming to the wii. this one looks good.

[budtom]

Actually i've posted about it before, looks cool, i'm a fan of the mid air fighting, something different and fun. i've always been fans of those types of games, like tekken, soul caliber etc.

[zulufields]

I am a massive fan of mk... hope this one is good

[demondave]

I'm a fan of Tekken, never really got into Mortal Kombat but as i doubt Tekken will come to the Wii i will consider buying Mortal Kombat

[thelocaluk]

The MK series is quite old school compared to today's 3D graphic's. But it's the deadly moves that made this series a classic, i.e ripping someones head off :lol:
Soul Calibur is my fav fighting game these days because I love fighting with the weapons.

[demondave]

As the VC includes the megadrive perhaps a couple of the old mortal kombats will come on there after the new one is release for the Wii, that would be quite cool

Screen shots added in topic header :wink:

ah, a classic game I used to love on the SNES, though Killer Instinct was better IMO, seem some vids of how the controls are going to be, seems quite interesting

The first full preview is out and I've added it to the first post. Game Informer revealed that the preview build they were given was actually really good fun. And what exactly makes this game so fun? Well, I'm glad to report it's the controls. :D

Midway have released a in-depth control tutorial for this game:

I looking quite forwards to this game but do you reckon any motion controls would work well with this type of game?

[Tom]

I'm a massive fan of the Mortal Kombat series (even though I think they kind of lost their way after the second or third...) so I'll definitely be checking this out. It will certainly be interesting to check out how the motion controls work. It sounds like the sort of thing that might take you a little time to get used to, but when you're comfortable with it, it'll feel like second nature.
