Mortal Kombat fans react as "cursed" MK1 Switch graphics revealed

After spending the last few weeks roasting Megan Fox for her performance as Nitara in Mortal Kombat 1, fans are taking a dreaded look back at Ronda Rousey's infamous portrayal of Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 11.

Despite wanting Havik to be reintroduced in the series ever since the 2009 reboot, Mortal Kombat fans seemingly aren't too impressed with MK1's version of the character.

NetherRealm has released its latest patch for Mortal Kombat 1.

Mortal Kombat fans are already getting through the latest installment available. After Mortal Kombat 11, the development team over at NetherRealm Studios opted to do something a bit different. We’re getting a reboot with Mortal Kombat 1, where the focus is on a brand new timeline. As a result, there are several changes, such as new alliances for different characters. Fortunately, NetherRealm Studios is known for delivering new characters into the Mortal Kombat games after they release, and the same trend will continue with Mortal Kombat 1.

The seasonal rewards found in world mesas in the Invasion mode of are tied to hidden puzzles you can solve which guard every additional reward seen in this single-player content. Ranging from direct hints to scrambled words you have to decipher, these Klues usually lead to new nodes with chests. Those who unlock these spots will be able to collect new palettes and gear for both Kameos and roster fighters.

After a significant bug that granted an advantage to Player 1 was discovered in Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm Studios confirmed a patch was on the way. It was deployed yesterday but faced a “snag” that resulted in server issues.

A major issue was discovered in NetherRealm Studios’ Mortal Kombat 1, showcasing a major advantage for fighters in the Player 1 slot. Long story short, those in the Player 2 position would find their combos whiffing, effectively ruining any semblance of a level playing field.

While fighting games live and breathe in their competitive scene, The Mortal Kombat series has built a strong reputation for its single player offerings and that is no different in Mortal Kombat 1. The latest entry in the long-running franchise once again provides a cinematic story mode which has appeared in all of the games developed by NetherRealm Studios but also introduces the new Invasion mode. This new offering gives players hours of battles and content to grind through to earn new items and cosmetics. Before jumping in, allow me to break it down so you know what to expect. This guide will provide players with a full explanation of the new single player Invasion mode in Mortal Kombat 1.

Datamined Mortal Kombat 1 dialogue leaks have revealed that Omni-Man will say a variation of his iconic and memeworthy "Think Mark, think!" line from the comic and show.

Every match of requires you to pick one of several Kameo characters who can offer the best assistance to your main roster fighter with different abilities. From classic faces to obscure references to older entries in the series, each Kameo is unique from one another. Realizing the full potential of these allies can make battles even against the toughest opponents much easier to challenge.

In addition to the classic Fatality, you can perform a special finishing move called a «Brutality» in to brutally take down your opponent. But these moves have specific button inputs that must be unlocked. Every character and Kameo fighter in the game has multiple Brutalities they can unleash at the end of any match. However, these are far harder to perform since they are done during a fight rather than when it's already over.

NetherRealm Studios’ Mortal Kombat 1 is finally available, garnering critical acclaim on Xbox Series X/S and PS5. The PC version has its share of issues, but they’re overshadowed by how bad the Nintendo Switch version is. On top of poor performance, fans have criticized the low-quality visuals and character models.
