Of course it isn’t going to feel like a properly built arcade cabinet as they are classed as a toy and are made for a wider demographic, I can sense that you may be an arcade purist meaning that you may not get on with it well and are used to having more solid controls, which is fair! But it’s great value for what it is and was fun to build and to play in the comfort of my own home!

Genesis version was the one i grew up on and will be my favorite. I liked how that version didnt have those cheesy voices when you were to say uppercut someone.

And as far as missing frames, the only thing that i can recall back was how for example Baraka's winning pose had him bowing and not coming back up showing his face. I very much preferred him remaining bowed.

Can’t wait to get all nostalgic and I try to remember scorpions “get over here.”

I was just hanging out in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona, where I live. There is an old ghost town tourist attraction called Goldfield that has an old west saloon/restaurant. I took my kids there last weekend and what did we see at the front entrance? An original MKII arcade cabinet! It brought back a lot of memories!

I read that the friendship and babiealities were basically making fun of the way Nintendo censored the first game.

You're actually wrong about MK being the idea of Ed Boon. John Tobias pitched the idea & Ed initially turned him down. Ed's role of "co-creator" was due to him making Tobias & Pesina's ideas a playable product.

Oh my, the nostalgia flowing within my 37 yr old body. 10 years old I got this for my birthday, I knew everything about this game and this was before KZread's time.

Thank you for this!!! Love your videos so much and I love MK! I have all the original fully restored arcade machines in my living room lol!

All you had to do with Shao Khan was high kick him over and over. Most of his attacks wouldn't reach.

Great video..I was absolutely obsessed with Mk2 and Ultimate Mk3.. I was the perfect age for a boy when these gems hit the arcades. I was born in 85 so by the early and mid 90's I was in my prime age for arcade fighting games. 😀

Still the greatest game in history. I’d NEVER seen - before or since - arcades THAT packed with players than it was for MKII. Just crowds of people watching and waiting for their turn. It had such an impact on me that I bought an original dedicated MKII machine.

Sorry to say but it was the brainchild of John Tobias. Also John pitched his idea to Daniel Pesina and friends. Then they had a talk with Ed Boon about it.

I remember the ads in magazines and posters for the symbol codes for the SNES and Genesis ports of ths game. Maybe im thinking of MK 3. This game still holds up well today. Great video!

Your description of the kind of player who wanted the Game Boy port was apt. Coming from personal experience, that game specifically was bought by permissive parents of real jerk kids so they can take it to school and lord it over all their classmates at recess. Oh yeah, they were TOTALLY going to let you play it if you did them a favor.

MK 2 changed my childhood. Still love it to this day!

Being in elementary school and running to the local arcade to have a shot at the MK2 arcade unit first. The crowds that would gather around you to get the first glimpses of the moves and hear the stories of what goes on in the game from those that beat it was electric. The graphics and the sounds put everyone over the moon. Arcades really had the upper hand being the ultimate version of your favorite games. Glad I lived it. The PS1 put out graphics that started killing the arcades then Dreamcast, game over.
