Is there a discussion going somewhere? Half way in... Better than I thought it'd be, have some gripes, is Kano Ozzie Man?

Someone posted a "the first 17 minutes of gameplay" full of early spoilers (with four or five story-based fights), and I was really entertained by the story. It's got its funny moments.

The MK1 KE statue feels/looks like it was 3d printed in someone's basement. Kinda disappointing.

I played through some of the tutorials because I get some of the in game currency for doing it. I didn’t finish it last night because I was tired. I hope to finish tonight so I can get into the story this weekend. What I played felt solid, but it wasn’t much at all.

I have it on PS5 but MK11 was surprisingly solid on Switch. What is so bad about this one?

The Switch port of MK1 apparently plays fine, but has insane load times, very low quality textures, characters have no facial expressions at all, and there's graphic glitching.
Did you ever play a PS2 port of a PS3 / Xbox 360 game? It's got about the same level of issues.
My point is, please do not spend $70 to buy the Switch port in the state it's in. It's absolutely horrendous and should have not shipped like that. There's lots of Youtube videos but it seems some are very spoilery so I don't want to mess up the story for whenever I get it.
The modern console and PC versions appear to be fine and lots of friends are enjoying those. Wish I could play it, but I doubt my potato could handle it.

A more fair comparison is probably comparing a PS Vita port of a AAA PS4 game, because Switch is more than just 1 console gen behind at this point.
Did they repeat the same thing with this that they did with MK11, as in not show the Switch version at all leading up to release and use what looked to be screenshots from the other consoles in the eShop listing?
I remember Mortal Kombat 11 on Switch was a big deal because back in 2019 it was the first time a major 3rd party release was launching on Switch the same day as the other consoles, instead of the Switch version coming months or years later, and it was the first M-rated game on a Nintendo console to make the best seller charts in many years. So it was disappointing in how little they showed of it before release, it made it seem like they had no confidence in it.
edit: watched this video, it doesn't sound as bad as I thought it would be. You should know it will be the inferior version before buying it though, but that's true with a lot of big budget multiplatform games on Switch.

That Li Mei picture is so u-g-l-y it ain’t got no alibi.
Seriously, though, of course it’s going to look way worse. It’s a 6 year old machine that was maybe on PS3/360 graphics when it was released 6 1/2 years ago. I watched the RGT85 video on it today and it looks worse, but it also seems to play mostly fine, and that’s what should matter more. But yeah… those pictures ain’t great for sure.

Someone compared the load times of MK1 on the Switch to KOF 98 on the NeoGeo CD.
That said, downgraded graphics are to be expected, but all characters are recognizable. That still doesn't excuse the broken facial animations.

I swear to make newer gen look better they make older gen games look the worst they could possible look. That looks almost like Nintendo 64 it's so bad.

It's portable! Is the only possible answer to justify this. But I can't imagine playing a fighting game on a small portable screen with two players is even fun at all

The first Kombat Pack with 6 characters and the Kameo characters is $40.
I'd call WB greedy but that's too nice.
