Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, extended version with maximum roster and finishing moves. The Saturn port remains imperfect but content is generous. A good choice for retro MK saga fans.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (Saturn) price, value & rarity
US version of the final revision of Mortal Kombat 3, released in late 1996 on a Saturn already trailing PlayStation and N64 in the American market. The port exists on other systems too, but the NTSC Saturn edition stays the scarcest of the console conversions owing to the small US install base. Its desirability is regional and platform-bound, tied to the difficulty of finding the title on this specific format rather than to anything distinctive about the game.
A questionable morality
The tournament is won on skill, but its trademark remains the finishing blow: once your opponent is beaten, the game politely invites you to dispatch them in the most spectacular and bloody way possible. You perform these finishers with the care of a craftsman, turning the kill into a compulsory figure you drill to land like any other combo.
Is Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 still worth playing in 2026?
A fighting game from Williams, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 offers the most complete version of the third Mortal Kombat, with an expanded roster bringing back fighters from previous entries, extra arenas and ever more over the top Fatalities. The chained combo system, the digitised sprites and the series' signature stylised violence make a snappy, generous versus, well carried over to Saturn. For a Mortal Kombat fan or a fan of retro versus, the title keeps a direct effectiveness and a copious content, especially in twos.
