Sounds like the music is slow down when the fight ends, fatallitys are delayed, so voices are use in area of the saturn version like round 1 fight or finsh him you don't hear those.
Ah damn i was gonna buy the saturn version because i heard it was alot better than the genesis/snes version (got both of them) but after seeing this....
@sofasport No, the worst port for a CD console would be the Playstation version which only came out in Japan and has for some reason terrible music even though it was on a CD and it could've had the original arcade music, also some graphics are wrong like in the dead pool it almost looks like the one used on the SNES and N64 (on trilogy) which is a downgraded version from the original...
I've played the 32X version a bit in the day. Never played the Saturn version. Judging by this video the Saturn version looks like an excellent port with a slightly different soundtrack. Why are people saying the 32x version was a better port? I remember being so disappointed the 32x version looked and sounded and played so much like the Genesis version. OK no loads on a cartridge but still, the load times don't look that bad according to this video...
Wow... How can this port (a CD) have less sound samples than the 32X version (a cartridge)? Probe somehow managed to mess up pretty bad with this one. And say what you want about Sega's ill-fated add-on, but at least it had the most decent MK II port overall. Not the best graphics, of course, but it had killer sound, zero loading times and razor-sharp controls (courtesy of one of the best fighting pads ever, Mega Drive's 6-button controller, second only to Saturn's Japanese controller). Period.
The mega drive version was awesome. yes it wasnt in comparison to the snes port because of ROUND... Fight, character anouncement and voice clips and so on..... but this version is the biggest load of shit of mortal kombat 2 ever( in my opinion BTW). The tempo of music is slowed down, several audio clips are either missing or incorrectly played with female ninjas. No character anouncements. The best version to play is the PS3 version, where you get everything and everyones happy. CASE CLOSED!!.
@mivecturbo No, the PSX version is better. I have it and tried it out. It has less lag than Saturn version, has round one voice, flawless victory voice, the laugh of Shao Kahn voices, the players' names voices and more cheats like "artful scaling" which brings you zoom when close to your opponent(extremely nice feature). It also has sound test and volume controls, not present in the Saturn version.
This game looks pretty legit. But I gotta say...why couldn't they make the guy say the character names after a win or character select? Where they lazy?
I'm amazed that the music sounds this bad and that certain voice clips are missing. That's just a bad job of developing. On the other hand, UMK3 on the Saturn was terrific.
Snes port is overrated, Saturn had the best graphics of any port, more accurate arcade gameplay than any other version it was just the sound, granted the saturn can do better sound than this its just the developers were abit lazy in that department but imo if you wanted accurate arcade like gameplay with graphics, id pick saturn.
@3:42 Kitana has the same scream as the male charecters, also notice how when the screen darkens for the fatality, the crowd in the backround still stays lightened.
@bizarroeddie I agree. Only the arcade and the SNES versions have that "Round...FIGHT" features. That's why I prefer both of these versions. Anyway, I always used to practice on the SNES version at home so I can do well at the real thing in public. Bottom line: I loved playing that game PERIOD!
wtf probe made the shao kahn's arena/portal track for this game and not the other conversions? what a bunch of losers. ms dos could have been the best port if the screwballs over at probe didn't settle for an 80% effort being acceptable.
lol, no matter which port I play this game, Kitana always pwns me, but I enjoyed the saturn version of this game as it was graphically closer to arcade than SNES.
In my opinion the music sounded better in the arcade version ( of course knowing that the arcade is a big system) because the music actually sounds limited and the background seems quiet.
A lot of you seem to be blaming the console for this port's short comings when it is really a matter of sloppy programming. The lack of sounds was a quick way to reduce load times in certain situations, but it really had less to do with the system and more to do with poor decisions with how to use the system's memory wisely.
WHY that music on the menu and on battleplan screen, are we going to dance mambo? WHY it starts from the pit 2 and not from the dead pool? Shao Kahn: WHO the hell dares to fart in front of the portal gate?
Now that i listened the music really does sound like ur about to dance with some guy in a buttoned up shirt with his collar popped and his hair slicked back, i mean mk is a dark gory game and that music really doesnt fit.
ok this a 64 bit system and they cant put a voice to say scorpion wins i mean what the hell they said it on the snes version and thats a 16 bit system
no its a 32 bit system like the 32x but bits dont meen shit when it comes to actual console power it was just marketing hype that started with the megadrive.
I still think the Saturn version is the best arcade port for consoles. SNES is CLOSE....and I mean CLOSE behind though. I would put the SNES version ahead of the Saturn if it weren't for a couple small things (ie: raidens lightning sounding like a fart, the music sounds weird when the screen gets dark for the fatality, etc...) The Genesis and 32x versions absolutely blow in my opinion though.
I thought the Saturn versions of MK II and UMK3 were pretty much flawless and the best arcade to console conversions. Though the SNES version of MK II is pretty damn sweet.
@JadMaster3 Thought i heard that sound before,my cat zac has the runs at the moment,and he gets a surprise each time that noise comes from his behind.
As a big genesis fan I must say that mk2 on snes was the best on any system. It was the closest to arcade quality at the time. Plus snes got their liver handed to them on mk1 so they had to step up. I just always liked the genesis Six button better than those crappy snes controllers
Are you high? Yeah the Megadrive/Saturn pad still easily annihilates anything else for fighting games, but for real, every other controller since, has been based on the SNES pad. Dreamcast, PlayStation, Xbox 360, N64, they all stem largely from the impact of the SNES controller.
they dont block for shit in this version, so far the hardest mk2 version i have played is the ps2 one on mortal kombat: shaolin monks, you unlock it by completeing the 5 smoke missions.
Im a huge Sega fan but these Genesis, 32X and Saturn ports were terrible. Considering how MK3 and UMK3 turned out on the Genesis and Saturn probe is just a lazy ass developer.
I agree, it's sad to see that Saturn multiplats 8/10 times were useless, when they had the potential to be the best versions. UMK3 and MKT on Saturn were pretty solid imo, but the loading times are unbearable. Irrefutable factual laziness on the developer's part.
As I always say, Sega never failed us, we failed Sega.
@Da1shocker to be honest,I think if they added at least the announcer saying their names,then it would be a good port on the sega saturn.Only advantage that the 32x has over the saturn version is you hear the fighters name and zero load times.
@Da1shocker and you seems to be a huge Nintendo fan but what I meant is the controls and the sountrack that make the game different from the arcade and other ports and in my opinion I love the genesis music much more than the other ports mk1 as well, but now i think that Mortal Kombat 2 Unlimited is the best these days
@Jigsaw2383 Did you not read my very first post that said i'm a huge Sega fan. I own way more Sega stuff than Nintendo stuff. I base these arcade ports off of there arcade counterparts. So when Probe fucked up both MK1 and MK2 on every single Sega platform i'm gonna be pissed. This in comparison with what Sculptured Software was able to do with MK3 and UMK3 ports. They did sound like the arcade version. SF2SCE was a better port than this garbage ass port.
@Da1shocker i really thought mk2 was k on sega but umk3 and mk3 was horribile but worst version of mk2,mk3.andumk3 version of sega master system was bad
@superdeeduper51 The music was the same remix euro trash that was on the Genesis. The game looked like an enhanced Genesis port nothing close to the arcade version. Probe took the same Genesis code and added some more colors, voices and the intro and thats about it.
@Da1shocker But the Genesis/Mega Drive port was pretty solid to begin with right? We should still give props to what each port has over each other rather than bitch about what they could or should've been.
@strykah92 I simply cant tolerate incompetent programmers. They fucked up every single port on a Sega system. Then when MK3 and UMK3 came out on the Genesis and Saturn the music and graphics resembled the arcades better than what Probe had done with there awful ports.
@ExtremeBogom what is there to be confused about? I never mentioned the PSx ports. What I did state is that in comparison to the arcade and SNES ports, Probes efforts were terrible. The music was remixed to sum euro trash garbage. And I kno there are people that prefer that to the arcade music but im an arcade purist. I own both the 32X and Saturn ports and they aren't that good at all. The Genesis version isn't even worth owning. Sculptured and Iguana did sum pretty good ports on the Genesis.
@ExtremeBogom The Saturn version is terrible. In the screen shots its looks jsut like the arcade. But playing it and it's another story. There are brief pauses for loading the special moves which slows the gameplay down. The music is ok but there are also a ton of voices that were left out. This is a stark contrast to UMK3 which didn't have these issues. Sculptured did an outstanding port on the SNES.
@ExtremeBogom MKT is a rare Saturn game that is pretty expensive and came out like a year later after the N64 and PSx versions so interest in that game had pretty much waned off.
@Da1shocker what about umk3 on the saturn and mk2 on saturn wasnt a bad port altouth i agree the lack of voice clips is really no excuse considering its a 32 bit console. imo in thought gensis version of mk1 was better then the snes :)
@Da1shocker Hmm it seems that you man and 10 other people have seen something the rest including myself can't see! This is a perfect port! The 32X is also the best 16bit version of MKII to play. Here the only sad is that their is no announcement voice for the winner! :(( besides that the rest is outstanding!
@sybnios Then I guess we have different expectations. A perfect port is like XvS, a near perfect port is SFA2 or UMK3. This game is way to flawed to even be near perfect port. As for the 32X version MKII it should've blown the doors off of the SNES port instead it didn't What happened to Liu Kangs byclycle kick voice? Why are the characters so small. etc.
i think for mk1 mk2 and mk3 is better the comparison snes genesis cos they were on that age and for psx and all those consoles they just had to make a remake for mk2 with exclusive stuff for every port like if psx you can unlock noob saibot jade and smoke for saturn you can unlock shao kahn and kintaro and new fatalitys for each(but keeping the old ones)
It was developed by a different company to the others, the sprites were also smaller, blurrier, the music was very quiet, and It also didn't play out many sound effects for long enough (when you fatality someone).
this port is ok id rather play the snes port tho at lease that one they say the rounds and names. the sounds are out of place in this version which is type surprising since its on a cd
The PS3 version is a direct arcade port. My only beef with it is the terrible PIIIIIIIIIIIING! noise you get every time you do something on the main menu.
This is weird, the sounds are not arcade perfect. The SNES version had somewhat better sounds than this, and it was on a 16 bit system. Damn, all SEGA versions of MK are horrible.
If I had a dollar for every time I saw someone posting another 'snes mk2 is superior' comment. I'd be able to afford a Saturn with mk2 in no time. Which would be great.
dude, listen to the sounds. There is no "round 1,2,3" voice; neither is there a voice saying who wins. The SNES had these sounds, even some of the music is not translated that good. Think about it, this was on a 32 bit system with a CD format. Oh, by the way I am smoking weed.
Sounds like the music is slow down when the fight ends, fatallitys are delayed, so voices are use in area of the saturn version like round 1 fight or finsh him you don't hear those.

@Da1shocker But the Genesis/Mega Drive port was pretty solid to begin with right? We should still give props to what each port has over each other rather than bitch about what they could or should've been.

@strykah92 I simply cant tolerate incompetent programmers. They fucked up every single port on a Sega system. Then when MK3 and UMK3 came out on the Genesis and Saturn the music and graphics resembled the arcades better than what Probe had done with there awful ports.

@Da1shocker
Well, that's your opinion, and many people disagree with you, including myself.
I had MK3 on PSX, and have UMK3 on Saturn, and the saturn version seems better to me.
I don't quite get a full picture of your opinion though...
Do you prefer the PSX versions? Or are you comparing them to the arcade?
Surely not Nintendo. I thought their ports were terrible.
Good old opinions. Gotta love em.
ExtremeBogom 1 year ago
@ExtremeBogom what is there to be confused about? I never mentioned the PSx ports. What I did state is that in comparison to the arcade and SNES ports, Probes efforts were terrible. The music was remixed to sum euro trash garbage. And I kno there are people that prefer that to the arcade music but im an arcade purist. I own both the 32X and Saturn ports and they aren't that good at all. The Genesis version isn't even worth owning. Sculptured and Iguana did sum pretty good ports on the Genesis.

@Da1shocker
Yer, but again it's just an opinion. I prefer the Gen/MD port to the Snes.
Of course, the Arcade version is the best.
So you prefer even the snes version to the Saturn version?
I can't say I haven't heard that before, alot agree with you.
I don't though :].
Have you played the Sega game gear MK ports?
Oh dear lol...
ExtremeBogom 1 year ago
@ExtremeBogom The Saturn version is terrible. In the screen shots its looks jsut like the arcade. But playing it and it's another story. There are brief pauses for loading the special moves which slows the gameplay down. The music is ok but there are also a ton of voices that were left out. This is a stark contrast to UMK3 which didn't have these issues. Sculptured did an outstanding port on the SNES.

Hmm, that's a shame then :[.
Have you ever come across the Saturn version of MK Trilogy?
There is only a small clip of that on here, and no one seems to talk about it.
ExtremeBogom 1 year ago
@ExtremeBogom MKT is a rare Saturn game that is pretty expensive and came out like a year later after the N64 and PSx versions so interest in that game had pretty much waned off.
Da1shocker 1 year ago
@Da1shocker what about umk3 on the saturn and mk2 on saturn wasnt a bad port altouth i agree the lack of voice clips is really no excuse considering its a 32 bit console. imo in thought gensis version of mk1 was better then the snes :)
SFNDMK 1 year ago
@Da1shocker Hmm it seems that you man and 10 other people have seen something the rest including myself can't see! This is a perfect port! The 32X is also the best 16bit version of MKII to play. Here the only sad is that their is no announcement voice for the winner! :(( besides that the rest is outstanding!
sybnios 1 year ago
@sybnios Then I guess we have different expectations. A perfect port is like XvS, a near perfect port is SFA2 or UMK3. This game is way to flawed to even be near perfect port. As for the 32X version MKII it should've blown the doors off of the SNES port instead it didn't What happened to Liu Kangs byclycle kick voice? Why are the characters so small. etc.
Da1shocker 1 year ago
@sybnios : I don't think the 32x version of MK2 is 16-bit.

32x version is just genesis version with more color and background detail but no where close to arcade version.

xboxlover2k57 2 years ago 2
i think for mk1 mk2 and mk3 is better the comparison snes genesis cos they were on that age and for psx and all those consoles they just had to make a remake for mk2 with exclusive stuff for every port like if psx you can unlock noob saibot jade and smoke for saturn you can unlock shao kahn and kintaro and new fatalitys for each(but keeping the old ones)

Is this better than the SNES version?
CLeRKSfan4life 2 years ago
its better graphically looking the most arcade true out of any port, but load times, especially when morphing with Shang Tsung, are hideous.
Playwise, the SNES is better, tighter control, no load times.
Of course nowadays you could just download MK II for MAME. The multiple arcade Machine Emulator. And play the arcade version on your PC.
SmokePropaganda 2 years ago
The Snes version of MK2 was the least good port.
It was developed by a different company to the others, the sprites were also smaller, blurrier, the music was very quiet, and It also didn't play out many sound effects for long enough (when you fatality someone).
ExtremeBogom 2 years ago
Yes. The snes version was probably the most inferior port.
ExtremeBogom 2 years ago
No, it wasn't. Both the graphics and sounds are a million times better than in the Genesis version
zzzra86 2 years ago
The snes system has more colors than the megadrive/genesis system, that's a fact.
Most games will look more colorful on snes over megadrive by default no matter the developer/producer etc.
The thing I'm complaining about is that it feels different to all the other versions (developed by williams).
ExtremeBogom 2 years ago
Graphics wise yes, but sound and control wise, no

yea the snes controller was great for mortal kombat, especially using shoulder buttons for block.
I hated how the start button was block on the megadrive :(

This is weird, the sounds are not arcade perfect. The SNES version had somewhat better sounds than this, and it was on a 16 bit system. Damn, all SEGA versions of MK are horrible.

If I had a dollar for every time I saw someone posting another 'snes mk2 is superior' comment. I'd be able to afford a Saturn with mk2 in no time. Which would be great.

dude, listen to the sounds. There is no "round 1,2,3" voice; neither is there a voice saying who wins. The SNES had these sounds, even some of the music is not translated that good. Think about it, this was on a 32 bit system with a CD format. Oh, by the way I am smoking weed.
