The opening is mostly incorrect and can be fact checked. Pesina isn't a great source. Boon and Tobias were coworkers at the time. Midway was actually looking at Steven Seagal or JCVD at the time. Having a celebrity wasn't really a deal breaker. The team just had to get something done under a year. Calling Boon the "boss" is a good shorthand for weak MK research.

I still remember seeing the original MK for the first time on a 29" modern CRT back in 1993; my jaw dropped! FMV games were very common at the time, but they were mostly just that, controllable FMVs. Up until that point, we did not have real digitized fighters successfully implemented in what seemed to be an almost flawless way at the time. The special moves were very unique and the character roster won me instantly. It was a technological leap in the fighting games genre from my perspective, and to know that it was such a small team behind it and that they cut corners to push the final product out just shows how visionary the game was. My favorites from the 2D MK era in order are MKII, MK, and MK Trilogy. From the 3D era in order are MK11, MKXL, MK Vs. DC, MK, MK Deception, MK Gold, and MK4. Finally, from the spin offs, I only enjoyed MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero and I assumed based on the title back then that MK will branch into a separate action-adventure series called Mythologies where each character will receive its own Mythologies entry/title. I was later disappointed that it didn't happen.

Tag team Tower was the best feature they made in MK 9. Nothing better than defeating an overpowered Boss with your friend. Then we saw the Kameo mechanic in the trailer and we all thought that feature was back, but false alarm. Then Boon said they didn't brought tag team back because players needed to learn 2 characters in order to play. Fine, let's entertain this dumb excuse. If you have the tag team mode on Co Op tower and you play with your buddy, guess what, each of you are playing 1 character.

But whos reviewing these games because I feel like MK VS DC was hated by real mk fans and 11 was just good marketing mixed with a watered down mk. Stoked for the new MK.
