Mortal Kombat first Game Boy entry, brutal fighter with reduced roster. Decent 8-bit animations and toned-down gore. For nostalgic fans of the cult fighter.

Collector interest

Mortal Kombat - Shinken Kourin Densetsu, the Japanese version of Acclaim's first Mortal Kombat on Game Boy, under an evocative local title. On a market little receptive to the genre, this edition circulated in small quantity, making it markedly rarer than its Western counterparts. Its desirability lies in that regional scarcity and collectors' appeal for the Japanese variants of the notorious franchise.
