Mortal Kombat Kanzenban (Mega-CD) price, value & rarity
Mortal Kombat Kanzenban, the Japanese edition of the Mega-CD port distributed by Acclaim, keeping the blood and fatalities in a presentation specific to the Japanese market. Its collector interest lies in this Japanese exclusivity of a game emblematic of the controversy, sought by collectors gathering Mortal Kombat's worldwide variants. The original Japanese edition is the case purists favour.
A questionable morality
Billed as a most serious martial-arts tournament, the title saves its real reward for the moment the opponent wavers: a spectacular execution, unleashed with a precise input. You repeat the move like a dance step, proud to nail it cleanly, happily forgetting that this fine choreography celebrates nothing other than the polished finishing-off of a beaten foe.
