@@oriondancer i think the difference is that this game has way more detailed gore but fatalities in mortal kombat 1-3 have the edge of being more shocking due to being performed on digitized actors rather than drawings.

The worst thing has to be the fairly true to life colors of the organs and bones. Someone meticulously studied corpses for this, and I’m a bit worried about them
On MK11 some of the people who worked on it had to be treated psycologically because they had to see some files of dismembered people and such to mimic the body from the inside and the outside

I saw that one YEARS ago. It’s burned in my mind, and is in fact the scariest one. I assumed the victim was still alive since the brain, nerves, and other organs are intact. Yikes I don’t think that’s a teleporter. Many have said it’s more of a microwave or X-Ray.

@@madhighgamer1386 Eternal Champion: Challenge from the Dark Side had it's stages have two "kill spots". The first, the Overkill, was if you KO'd your opponent in the area, like the original Genesis EC. The second killspot, the Sudden Death was if you reduced your opponent to a certain degree of health in that area. That way you could end the match and win while your opponent still had health. And if that weren't enough, each character had a Vendetta, a fatality you could perform if you dizzied your opponent and you performed a MK-esque series of button presses. And finally, since it's the Sega CD, the Cinekill, where if you hit a combo that performed X amount of damage, the bigbad of the game, the Dark Champion, would appear to spirit away the opponent and you'd see a CGI FMV of the Dark Champion killing off the opponent.

I think what makes these deaths so disturbing isn't just the gore factor, or even the humiliation factor but because the game goes out of its way to strip you of all human dignity before it kills you.

Very creative, and detailed artwork. The animated sprites are stunning to look at. ALOT of effort was put into this and it shows so beautifully. Damn this is violently sickening and I’m loving it.
To anyone interested, Eternal Champion held a tournament; it's participants from different eras in Earth's history who died prematurely. They all fight to win their lives back to undo their own respective fates. This celestial being was kind of a jerk apparently.
I’ve been seeing MK violence for so long that I feel nothing when a fatality or any major violence happens. Yet surprisingly enough, some of these still disturb me the same way looking fatalities for the first time did. Idk why either it just does.

It's the detail I think. Nowdays, most of the fatalities are as disturbing if not worse than these but if we compare them with the first MKs in the arcade I think they are not that horrible to watch because there isn't much detail in the decapitations or people being cut in half. This game shows you a body slowly melting in acid and lava, organs flying here and there, very explicit stuff.
5:51 - Detail from the chick with the shotgun is magnificent.. The body language...the way she shoots the pistol to break the glass then hold onto the top of the ticketbooth reaching down..Then the shoulder strap dangle off her shoulder... 💪🔥
I wish people would stop calling for remakes. Less remakes more new games. Something that's actually good. I'm sick of remakes. There are only two remakes in the history of video games that were better than the originals in every way and you don't even know what they are. I'll give you one of them: Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES.
These deaths are brutally punchy and impactful. I havent had a knee jerk reaction to fictional depictions of death in awhile. I thought I was desensitized. I was wrong. These were very well animated especially for it being 16bit.
@@jadedheartszI think it didn’t catch as much flak because the Sega CD didn’t sell too well, this game came out at the tail end of its life, and a lot of the fatalities are very hard to trigger. I had it as a kid and even with magazine tips I still had a hard time pulling off hitting your opponent at just the right precise location. Most politicians just never heard of it.
I really want to see this series make a comeback. The premise was cool and I enjoyed all the unique characters that this game had to offer. It could easily be expanded on. It probably couldn't compete with Mortal Kombat, but I wouldn't say no to playing this if it were redone.
I bought this the day it was released, having counted down the days from when I first read about it in Game Players. Goriest, sickest game I'd played, and I loved it. The music, graphics and kills still remain awesome.
indeed. i've heard of this game in the 90's thanks to gamepro magazine but I never played or even see a gameplay. Pretty awesome how they did these imaginative and well animated (for the system and memory limitations) finishing moves. Some of them have a gore that we only see in the latest Mortal Kombat games.
I think it's pretty smart that they made most overkills leave the character completely destroyed, it would be easier to animate, because everyone would end up looking the same
My parents let me play MK because I wasn't violent nor aggresive when I was little, so they think that MK won't activate aggresion within me if I wasn't aggresive before. Kinda makes sense :)
Very underrated, unappreciated game for Sega CD and Sega Genesis. It has aged extremely well, compared to other fighters of the time, imo. The graphics and music are stellar too.
I love how some of these are hilarious or simple while others are actually pretty uncomfortable to watch... like MK made me sick to watch as a kid but now I laugh that stuff off, some of these get fucked up real fast!
These are actually brutal. The immediate suffering during their deaths is what makes these worse. In MK the suffering is swift with little shock. In this game you watch them suffer in torture and die in detail. The suffering in games today is what you dont see. The deaths are gory but swift. When scorpion burns you, you become a skeleton and you dont see the events take place while burning em. in this game its screaming, writhing, boils, snap crack pop. Its like eating i juicy steak, you know what it is, how it got there, but never witnessed the slaughter. ( relax i love 🥩)
2:50 This one is.....surprisingly tame compared to the others. No bullet holes or the sort. Also, I had been looking for this game for a long time as I remembered playing it during my childhood but not it's name.
I totally remember playing this game with my friend for hours upon hours. The idea and story was good (taking characters throughout time before there untimely demise like Rhamses for example!)
Try "Totally Fucking Brutal Overkill". Call me the master of overexaggerating but goddamn, these deaths are something. I mean, I wanna say it's like MKX-tier brutal.
@@mehlessmidori602 Right. Another thing (in theory) is that I think Modern MK Fatalities were inspired by this game's overkill concept. Except that today's MK mechanics are too visually over exaggerating. For instance X Ray combos. I mean wtf! Whether upon the perceived imagination that even though most characters are immortal, if bones are getting shattered, their stances should be to that of being somewhat handicapped after each bone shattering hit? Maybe they have been sticking to that measure of creation because of lawsuit reasons (just my opinion?) Now fatalities in today's mk's are exaggerating visually too, but they are appropriate as they are finishers so.... Eternal Champions (if it were remade) shouldn't grab the x Ray concept of Modern MK. That would piss me off (unless again if their stances get handicapped at low health meters)
@@luisherrera2301 Actually, this game's finishers took inspiration from MK. MK came the year before, and made HUGE success. This game just crashed on the hype train, and tried to copy it.
@@umcaraqualquer3640 I mean idk though. Mechanically and the basic concept, maybe? But the creativity and Gore is completely unique and new in comparison though. If anything, it's emulated from MK.
Mortal Kombat looks like Street Fighter compared to this! This is disturbingly detailed for a SEGA CD game, they wanted to make sure that this game was memorable, well... Fuck. But in 4:50, I physically cannot do any other thing than laugh my ass out...
@@luisherrera2301 You do realize there are tons of fatality driven games out there? This one just piggy-backed off MK like all the others. It's much more plausible that MK simply upped their game cause they had to deliver impact to modern audiences, not cause a short-lived copy cat series gave them ideas. Good luck proving your "theory" though.
Imagine the same thing happening to Mario. Direct hit by thermonuclear ballistic missle which has Bowser`s emblem on hull and impact-driven detonator. Considering even just detonating the nuke anywhere in the level spells horrible instant death.
@@doodledangernoodle2517 And the level is destroyed, leaving nothing but apocalyptic reddish void. Cue the absolute instant death by falling off bottom of the screen.
I have a doctorate in human anatomy and I can attest this is the most realistic depiction of human death ever created. I actually use this game to teach my students because of it's amazing accuracy and I think anyone who plays this game could easily pass any of my exams on their way to a degree.
@@kdubyah8787 it's true though, I have been lucky enough to be one of his students. (His class is infamously difficult to get into.) After watching the fatalities in this video, and mastering Operation by Milton Bradley as part of his curriculum, I am now practicing medicine and making over six figures. Thank you Dr. Siegfried!
(Brings someone tied up and a caged Lion to class) "Im ready for my presentation doctor Siegfried. It's called the effects of a hungry Lion on the human body"
It wouldn't work as well on 3D graphic. You need extreme detail to create such uncanny horror. And it's pretty much impossible until we could have enough processing power and imagination to create it on realistic 3D HD realm
I remember my uncle playing this game when I was like seven and thinking it was so scary! I still think this is scarier than mortal kombat, I’m not sure why. (Also at 7:01, is where Final destination got the idea LOL)
1:04 "Nothing will ever stop me, not even- *Gasp* , GIANT CLAMS?! OW-AH-OW" 1:06 "I'm- not letting go, not even for- *GASP* , CHEESE GRATERS?! OW OW AH OW AH." 1:08 "I STILL won't let go, not even for- *GASP* , EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION?! AHHHHHHH"
this video is awesome, thanks for the blast from the past! I'd love to see a compilation of all the CGI cutaway death scenes for Eternal Champs on Sega CD... those were lit, too
Ahhh, reminds me of my childhood, trying to figure out the buttons while my dad combos the shit out of me and makes me move to the perfect spot for this shit to happen
I bought this game when it first came out for 60 bucks hahaha. I didn't know there were fatalities in this game until 3 weeks of playing when I hit someone on the stake and watched them burned alive! I didn't know there were 2 different kills for each stage! I'm glad I saw this video, brings back good memories. they should remake this game lol. These fatalities are WAY more BRUTAL than MK at the time. It was just hard to find them. GREAT GAME!!! the pit in this one was a little ridiculous lol. It took like a full minute for the players to fall through the saws,sword, and blades 3 times lmao. I wonder why it never got real big!
It never got big because Sega of Japan wanted to put all their focus on Virtua Fighter and that meant they had to cut the ties with this one. Why they didn't try to keep going though is a mystery to me.
This was actually the second game in the series. Eternal Champions was on the Genesis/Megadrive and only had a single (mostly bloodless) overkill on each stage. But for the Sega CD, there was a sequel called Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Darkside. In that one, there were 2, very gory overkills per stage and the ability to perform a fatality, although it was much harder than in MK: you had to win the first round, then on the second round, do a combo that makes your opponent dizzy while they have less than half HP, THEN you put in the fatality input to outright kill them and win round 2.
There was a version 2 also for the Sega CD. I had both games. I only played with one character...and I too found out about the fatalities by mistake. Then it took me two days to figure out how I did it again...lol man playing this game was fun and exciting. I also figured out the guy with the stick you can not only make his stick fly and hit people but it could turn people into Gold. I think also into a Death Cycle also. That was the guy I played with it was hard to beat me playing him.
My bro and I were gifted the original on Sega Genesis for Christmas. I took the time to learn all the overkills. One existed per level, and no gore was present. Then a few years later one of my brother's friends comes to spend winter break with us and he brings Sega CD along with this game. Our general sentiment was "THAT'S COOL!" as he showed us all of the overkills, the sudden deaths, and each character's MK style fatality executed just like in Midway's fanchise but with the game's own twist: you first had to daze the opponent just like in Street Fighter, and they had to be low health. On top of the overall gameplay improvements the CD version made, the sequel to the first turned out to be one of the most solid console fighters for its time.
I just love it when 90's and early 2000's games wanted to let the player know that they've lost and suck at the game, so they go out of their way to show you in depth.
I wouldn't say it's anticlimactic, it just takes far too long. They should have just had one of those multi blade section with the aftermath of the second one and then the separate body parts all hit the floor.
I love how most of these are like some brutal thing, and then you just get to the one that's a drive by shooting and is the most tame of them all, like damn, how do we go from "DR EVIL'S PIT OF GRINDING" to "Da Boss sends his regards!" ???
@@bloodshotred6334 If you are comparing game libraries between Neo Geo and Genesis sure, that is an easy claim. The nature of the Neo Geo meant the library was smaller and less varied than the Genesis. On the other hand in terms of hardware, and in particular arcade perfect graphics and sound, there was no question The Neo Geo was the superior machine.
1.) These were some of the most creative and imo best fatalities I've ever seen 2.) A 3D version of this game should've been created with more CGI scenes 😁😎

5:51 - Detail from the chick with the shotgun is magnificent.. The body language...the way she shoots the pistol to break the glass then hold onto the top of the ticketbooth reaching down..Then the shoulder strap dangle off her shoulder... 💪🔥
pixel animation at its finest
I think its rotoscoping
Damn that lady showed her fury at that man
@@Foxhunter258 and a nurple! 🙊
SDS Overfiend Yeah that was totally badass! She was not fucking around! They should've made her a playable character in the game.
This game deserves a remake.
Yea :)
i wonder what the white moms would do if this gets a remake
NUM SEI White moms? Black moms won’t have issue with it
I wish people would stop calling for remakes. Less remakes more new games. Something that's actually good. I'm sick of remakes. There are only two remakes in the history of video games that were better than the originals in every way and you don't even know what they are. I'll give you one of them:
Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES.
João Paulo Santos Thatll kinda be hard cause then it'll be seen as an MK ripoff unless they keep the 2-D art style.
these stage fatalities actually go pretty hard. very creative i’d love to see some of these in mortal kombat.
Oh you did there just hard to make when the game is more realistic looking
The fan one being back MK 3
These deaths are brutally punchy and impactful. I havent had a knee jerk reaction to fictional depictions of death in awhile. I thought I was desensitized. I was wrong. These were very well animated especially for it being 16bit.
yeah i'm surprised moral guardians didn't freak out over this game like they did over Mortal Kombat.
@@jadedheartszI think it didn’t catch as much flak because the Sega CD didn’t sell too well, this game came out at the tail end of its life, and a lot of the fatalities are very hard to trigger. I had it as a kid and even with magazine tips I still had a hard time pulling off hitting your opponent at just the right precise location. Most politicians just never heard of it.
@@jadedheartsz They were too busy whining about Night Trap's violence.
I find most of these deaths to be more creative than the ones in Mortal Kombat
Hello Skinny MK has just been a parody of itself after MK2.
The Fonz nah there not all bad
Maybe at first, but the fatalities on mk now are pretty awesome.
you haven't seen enough thn
@@greamegustave but classic fatalities are brutalities or not in the game, tf
That lady popping out of the ticket booth with a shoty! That is frightening!!
That was my fav
Could use someone like her the next time some idiot won't stop talking in the theater.
That's Chicago for you.
That made me laugh so hard! Earlier in the video i noticed her just watching the drive by shooters as was like "wtf", then to see that! The best
That was meta !
I really want to see this series make a comeback. The premise was cool and I enjoyed all the unique characters that this game had to offer. It could easily be expanded on. It probably couldn't compete with Mortal Kombat, but I wouldn't say no to playing this if it were redone.
it would cr the first fighting game i’ve bought in over a decade and it would be day 1 for me. i was a huge fan of this game
And I thought MK had the most Gore after all these years.
I bought this the day it was released, having counted down the days from when I first read about it in Game Players. Goriest, sickest game I'd played, and I loved it. The music, graphics and kills still remain awesome.
indeed. i've heard of this game in the 90's thanks to gamepro magazine but I never played or even see a gameplay. Pretty awesome how they did these imaginative and well animated (for the system and memory limitations) finishing moves. Some of them have a gore that we only see in the latest Mortal Kombat games.
Sega should develop the third game that was canceled,for the Sega Dreamcast.
7:08 damn my man was jamming to that beat
😂
LOL!!!!
anyone else laugh when dude came flying back out of the volcano?
I did
My sides just came flying back out of the volcano.
No, but the clown car at the end certainly made me laugh xD
I did😂😂😂
Are you kidding? I've been laughing my ass off throughout this entire video! I love this 😂😂😂😂😂
I think it's pretty smart that they made most overkills leave the character completely destroyed, it would be easier to animate, because everyone would end up looking the same
Okay but when the volcano yeeted that screaming skeleton, I lost it!
Same
That was my personal favorite
I almost pooped my pants, the first time I saw it, though.
2:44 this one also made me laugh.
For me it was the clowns
I'm still surprised my parents let me play this game when I was little.
Derrick Haggard same with my parents for Mortal Kombat.
Me too.
Derrick Haggard my mom had a problem with me playing Mk glad my dad let me play it
My parents let me play MK because I wasn't violent nor aggresive when I was little, so they think that MK won't activate aggresion within me if I wasn't aggresive before.
Kinda makes sense :)
Same here, but my parents let me and my sister play Mortal Kombat during childhood, both Genesis and SNES versions.
A good game to play in the morning with all familly together and for all kids play too.
All serial killers grew up playing this game, from the age of 1.
ncshuriken this is stated fact you know, Jack the Ripper began his killings Immedietly after playing this game
Daddy? Whats that red juice coming out of his eyes?
Ketchup.
Pure Sarcasm
Very underrated, unappreciated game for Sega CD and Sega Genesis. It has aged extremely well, compared to other fighters of the time, imo. The graphics and music are stellar too.
I love how some of these are hilarious or simple while others are actually pretty uncomfortable to watch... like MK made me sick to watch as a kid but now I laugh that stuff off, some of these get fucked up real fast!
These are so much more graphic than MK fatalities.
These are like mk9 10 and 11 fatalities. Fucked up and disturbing
These are actually brutal. The immediate suffering during their deaths is what makes these worse. In MK the suffering is swift with little shock. In this game you watch them suffer in torture and die in detail. The suffering in games today is what you dont see. The deaths are gory but swift. When scorpion burns you, you become a skeleton and you dont see the events take place while burning em. in this game its screaming, writhing, boils, snap crack pop. Its like eating i juicy steak, you know what it is, how it got there, but never witnessed the slaughter. ( relax i love 🥩)
Lord Gargamel that because they make them tone it down.
These are just as if not more over the top and cartoony as MKs fatalities.
Mk is still good
There are a lot of incredibly fucking horrid, suffering-filled deaths in MKX, take a look at Kenshi's fatalities for instance.
Youre talking about the original MK ? Because the new ones seem to purposefuly make the deaths take longer to try to be shocking, which is just cringe
Team: How much violence and gore should we put in this game?
Director: yes
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:27 That's one gnarly looking shark. That is the stuff of nightmares!
These are way more creative and inventive than the stage fatalities in mortal kombat
Deception had the best, but I think Mortal Kombat's fatalities blow this out of the water.
The animations are incredible in this.
most of mortal kombat fatalities are really stupid.
Most of these just try too hard and take too long.
kingkoopa3000 My thoughts exactly.
2:50 This one is.....surprisingly tame compared to the others. No bullet holes or the sort.
Also, I had been looking for this game for a long time as I remembered playing it during my childhood but not it's name.

Mortal Kombat: fatality
Eternal Champions: overkill
Try "Totally Fucking Brutal Overkill". Call me the master of overexaggerating but goddamn, these deaths are something. I mean, I wanna say it's like MKX-tier brutal.
@@mehlessmidori602 Right. Another thing (in theory) is that I think Modern MK Fatalities were inspired by this game's overkill concept. Except that today's MK mechanics are too visually over exaggerating. For instance X Ray combos. I mean wtf! Whether upon the perceived imagination that even though most characters are immortal, if bones are getting shattered, their stances should be to that of being somewhat handicapped after each bone shattering hit? Maybe they have been sticking to that measure of creation because of lawsuit reasons (just my opinion?) Now fatalities in today's mk's are exaggerating visually too, but they are appropriate as they are finishers so.... Eternal Champions (if it were remade) shouldn't grab the x Ray concept of Modern MK. That would piss me off (unless again if their stances get handicapped at low health meters)
@@mehlessmidori602 SF, MK, and EC are my top 3 2D fighting games
@@luisherrera2301 Actually, this game's finishers took inspiration from MK.
MK came the year before, and made HUGE success. This game just crashed on the hype train, and tried to copy it.
@@umcaraqualquer3640 I mean idk though. Mechanically and the basic concept, maybe? But the creativity and Gore is completely unique and new in comparison though. If anything, it's emulated from MK.
Mortal Kombat : We have blood and gore in our fighting game! No one can do worse than us!
Eternal Champions : Hold my beer.
How original.
MK: Well, at least our games are affordable for everybody to buy! Ha! 😝
EC: Like the Super Nintendo version?🤨
MK: We don’t talk about THAT. 😒
Hahaha fo real
oh my gosh that is SSOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY.
She said HOLD MY CERVEZA!!!
Eternal Champions is considered one of the best fighting games of that time. Then along comes Amy Rose.
Fun fact: The 'fall into a fatalitillion weapons' chasm is used by mugen Giygas as a routine special move.
so is the microwave chamber one
That’s where I remember seeing them before.
The acid burn, falling in the kettle, and falling in the hole of saws and swords was probably the worst to me. Dear god who sat and thought of this?

These are so creative and really show what SEGA could have done if they’d taken the high road in leveraging the Mega CD’s extra capabilities
Mortal Kombat looks like Street Fighter compared to this!
This is disturbingly detailed for a SEGA CD game, they wanted to make sure that this game was memorable, well... Fuck.
But in 4:50, I physically cannot do any other thing than laugh my ass out...
This game has a voice acted cgi intro.
If someone is wondering why is this more gruesome than MK, it's because of the detail in every death. I mean it's very detailed
Makes sense.
The gore level in this game is on par with MKX and MK11. Yeah, I honestly think it’s gorier than the previous MK installments.
My theory is that the Modern MK fatality concept is somewhat inspired from this game?
@@luisherrera2301 You do realize there are tons of fatality driven games out there? This one just piggy-backed off MK like all the others. It's much more plausible that MK simply upped their game cause they had to deliver impact to modern audiences, not cause a short-lived copy cat series gave them ideas. Good luck proving your "theory" though.
@@notsyzagts7967 no need to be mad
@@jimmywhite6863 He didn't sound like he was.
I oddly wasn't as bothered by these as much.
Being impaled by a nuke is actually a pretty awesome way to go...
The Nuke also appears to say "Souls sweet dreams"
Imagine the same thing happening to Mario. Direct hit by thermonuclear ballistic missle which has Bowser`s emblem on hull and impact-driven detonator. Considering even just detonating the nuke anywhere in the level spells horrible instant death.
Yep Lets make a combatbomb yeeeeeet

@@doodledangernoodle2517 And the level is destroyed, leaving nothing but apocalyptic reddish void. Cue the absolute instant death by falling off bottom of the screen.
I have a doctorate in human anatomy and I can attest this is the most realistic depiction of human death ever created. I actually use this game to teach my students because of it's amazing accuracy and I think anyone who plays this game could easily pass any of my exams on their way to a degree.
I'll take things that aren't true for 500
what?? I might actually give it a try then
@@kdubyah8787 it's true though, I have been lucky enough to be one of his students. (His class is infamously difficult to get into.)

(Brings someone tied up and a caged Lion to class) "Im ready for my presentation doctor Siegfried. It's called the effects of a hungry Lion on the human body"
Then you suck as a teacher.
Damn~...Imagine this with Mortal Kombat X graphics~
It wouldn't work as well on 3D graphic. You need extreme detail to create such uncanny horror. And it's pretty much impossible until we could have enough processing power and imagination to create it on realistic 3D HD realm
That's game gonna be the top 1 in action games
Damn, imagine if the next generation fighting game director reads this comment and quotes you in the future for making that 😍
Dude the fan one is basically Sonya's new fatality.
@@cypherusuh Well, the time has arrived in MK11
Decades later it's only just now dawned on me that 7:40 is a reference to that scene in The Fly where the baboon gets flipped inside out
That's what you get for trying to sneak into the movie.
The shark and the body coming out of the cauldron were startlingly well animated given the rest of the game.
and they say mortal kombat has violent fatalities
I remember my uncle playing this game when I was like seven and thinking it was so scary! I still think this is scarier than mortal kombat, I’m not sure why. (Also at 7:01, is where Final destination got the idea LOL)

I remember playing Eternal Champions on my old Sega Genesis. Loved playing as Larcen and Xavier!
this video is awesome, thanks for the blast from the past! I'd love to see a compilation of all the CGI cutaway death scenes for Eternal Champs on Sega CD... those were lit, too
Over 18 years later and this game is still brutal compared to some today.
4:10 probably made me the most uncomfortable
Some of these Fatalitys are WAY better, then the one from MK! Just BRUTAL!
Mortal Kombat has competition. This game. Eternal Champions.
Ahhh, reminds me of my childhood, trying to figure out the buttons while my dad combos the shit out of me and makes me move to the perfect spot for this shit to happen
Your dad let you play this when you were seven?
Wow! These are the most creative kills I've ever seen since Mortal Kombat!
MK 11 should take notes
I bought this game when it first came out for 60 bucks hahaha. I didn't know there were fatalities in this game until 3 weeks of playing when I hit someone on the stake and watched them burned alive! I didn't know there were 2 different kills for each stage! I'm glad I saw this video, brings back good memories. they should remake this game lol. These fatalities are WAY more BRUTAL than MK at the time. It was just hard to find them. GREAT GAME!!! the pit in this one was a little ridiculous lol. It took like a full minute for the players to fall through the saws,sword, and blades 3 times lmao. I wonder why it never got real big!
I want to say why always pepole when they see a gory kill they names it fatality? They are overkills in this game!
It never got big because Sega of Japan wanted to put all their focus on Virtua Fighter and that meant they had to cut the ties with this one. Why they didn't try to keep going though is a mystery to me.
This was actually the second game in the series. Eternal Champions was on the Genesis/Megadrive and only had a single (mostly bloodless) overkill on each stage. But for the Sega CD, there was a sequel called Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Darkside. In that one, there were 2, very gory overkills per stage and the ability to perform a fatality, although it was much harder than in MK: you had to win the first round, then on the second round, do a combo that makes your opponent dizzy while they have less than half HP, THEN you put in the fatality input to outright kill them and win round 2.
There was a version 2 also for the Sega CD. I had both games. I only played with one character...and I too found out about the fatalities by mistake. Then it took me two days to figure out how I did it again...lol man playing this game was fun and exciting. I also figured out the guy with the stick you can not only make his stick fly and hit people but it could turn people into Gold. I think also into a Death Cycle also. That was the guy I played with it was hard to beat me playing him.
My bro and I were gifted the original on Sega Genesis for Christmas. I took the time to learn all the overkills. One existed per level, and no gore was present.
Then a few years later one of my brother's friends comes to spend winter break with us and he brings Sega CD along with this game. Our general sentiment was "THAT'S COOL!" as he showed us all of the overkills, the sudden deaths, and each character's MK style fatality executed just like in Midway's fanchise but with the game's own twist: you first had to daze the opponent just like in Street Fighter, and they had to be low health.
On top of the overall gameplay improvements the CD version made, the sequel to the first turned out to be one of the most solid console fighters for its time.
I only played the Sega Genesis version.
Mortal Kombat: We've got the most gruesome deaths.
Eternal Champions: Hold my beer.

He said was, and he's right. MK was brutal, but it wasn't excessive. This is excessive af.
yeah
this is still far more brutal then MKX
Actual games not, But the violence in this game are so excessive and subrealist.
I just love it when 90's and early 2000's games wanted to let the player know that they've lost and suck at the game, so they go out of their way to show you in depth.
Would be cool to see this franchise come back.
Brandon Soto their making a new one
Maybe a Character will make a guest appearance on MK 11
1:01 Imagine losing and watching this anticlimactic 40 second scene
At least there was no online mode to force people you beat to watch it.
Wasn’t anticlimactic at all, gotta admit they really used their imaginations and it left me with a twist the first time I saw that fatality.
“STOP HE’S ALREADY DEAD!”
I wouldn't say it's anticlimactic, it just takes far too long. They should have just had one of those multi blade section with the aftermath of the second one and then the separate body parts all hit the floor.
That was exaggerated
The Cauldron Fatality is the stuff of nightmares
Fall off the bone flavor!
Hmm tender...sweet, succulent death.
the victim just stands up and mix a little of his own soup.
Very well made imo
I love how most of these are like some brutal thing, and then you just get to the one that's a drive by shooting and is the most tame of them all, like damn, how do we go from "DR EVIL'S PIT OF GRINDING" to "Da Boss sends his regards!" ???

@@bloodshotred6334 If you are comparing game libraries between Neo Geo and Genesis sure, that is an easy claim. The nature of the Neo Geo meant the library was smaller and less varied than the Genesis.

I miss the 90s. Gaming was so much fun
1.) These were some of the most creative and imo best fatalities I've ever seen
2.) A 3D version of this game should've been created with more CGI scenes 😁😎
