The Game Gear Version never came out in the states either. It's a European only release. They cancelled the USA release. I could see why. This looks horrible!
The Master System version is not so identical, it also presents other differences like the presence of blood and a two player mode. Also, the boot logos are placed in a slight different order and there's no Acclaim logo. It's a different build apparently, and not a straight Game Gear to Master System conversion like most people may think.
Yeah seeing Liu Kang missing from the roster made me do a double take. I know the Game Gear had limited space and cuts had to be made but priorities, man.
This sounds like those little flashing toy space gun's from the pound shops from early 90s. Come on everyone who was a kid back then you know you had one at some point, all our mums bought them for us for being good when we all went shopping aha
The same sounds and music is awesome (Master System and Game Gear with Mortal Kombat 3 with sounds and music are the same!) (In any Mortal Kombat game with Game Gear and Sega Master System)
It is a gimped or handicapped release; why the fk was it ripped to shreds before the global/worldwide version finally made it to teen or preteen owners sweaty hands !? Did Midway or Williams simply hate or despise the Sega GameGear and and or Atari Lynx media / video game handheld /device -- it doesn't make sense, at least not in a marketing or financial sense !?
@Anthony Cook But then there’s no reason to include those stages if it’s.not possible to do the stage fatalities. There were plenty of other stages they could use instead. The Gameboy port had the Pit Fatality, but the spikes were on top of the bridge instead of under it.
This is one of the worst game gear games the grafix on the menus look great but in game looks and sounds like it was made for the amstrad cpc in 1985 and the controls where insanly bad i dont knouw how he beat this game when i tryed to play this i died in seconds.
I had a Game Gear and loved the first 2 MK’s but this is awful I’m glad it was never released in the states. I wanted an MK3 on the gg originally as a kid but seeing this really makes me realize why it never made it over here! I had the Gameboy version and this is worse than that port.
A very lazy port of the Game boy version. MK2 was way, way better on GG. A friend of mine bought this on release, while I had MK3 on the Mega Drive. It was a novelty, but we weren't impressed.

If you had a sega genesis and a gamegear, you could not only play this game athome in nearly arcade quality but you also could play it portible whereever you wanted it to play in full color on your gamegear, Even that kindergarden supergameboy couldn’t hold a candle against the gamegear.
When I first played it i hated it too like most people, but now I wonder if some of the hate is bc its so challenging..bad animation and sound fx yes...but not as unplayable as some of the GB MK's. I wonder how many people here have honestly finished the game..
Man, besides the MK2 Gameboy/Gamegear port, the music on all of the portable version of MK were ear rape!!! Also they were pretty garbage. It only got better when the GBA came around, well, expect for Mortal Kombat Advance....god that was a nightmare as well.
Hmmm, oddly enough I don't mind playing or trying out the UMK 3 version for the Nintendo GBA...I mean MK Advance jajajajajajajajajajajajajaja ; seriously, it is a very challenging version of MK but still not as challenging as MK Trilogy, UMK 3 [with the included MK puzzle fighter] for the NDS, MK 4 , MK 4 : Gold Edition, Deadly Alliance or MK 10/10 XL at least in my honest opinion !
@@pferreira1983 I don't think that's TecToy. TecToy just did straight Game Gear to Master System conversions. This must be closer to the situation of Dynamite Headdy, which is not a straight Game Gear to Master System conversion but rather a cancelled European Master System release (that's also the situation of Battletoads in Battlemaniacs and Fire and Ice, the Game Gear versions of those were cancelled too). While early 1996 (considering the release of the Game Gear version) was too late to think about a cancelled European release, I'd rather think this was done by Software Creations at request, rather than TecToy itself.
@@pferreira1983 Maybe that's a fault or oversight in the Game Gear version, not playing them for some reason rather than them not being there. Or maybe they weren't able to introduce them in the Game Gear version because of schedule and they did in the Master System version because of this being a later build. Who knows.

If you close your eyes, it almost sounds like you're playing Space Invaders.
I know right, LOL!
It seems like a dream.
But I see how I close my eyes and I’m playing Space Invaders.
But if you close your eyes....
Bem visto! 😅
They removed the music in the game gear version, but the Brazil-only Master system (which is otherwise identical) had music?? WHY?!
The Game Gear Version never came out in the states either. It's a European only release. They cancelled the USA release. I could see why. This looks horrible!
And on the MS version, Sha Khan indeed gets on the ground after been defeated, and the gameplay is a little better also!

Sounds effects for this game provided by Atari 2600.
+sternfan75 Come on, it wasn't that bad.
+P Ferreira lol
Lmao. I love A2600 sound though.
P Ferreira yeah it was worse
I think the exact same thing...
Not having Liu Kang seems like a huge oversight considering he was the main protagonist of the series at the time.
Yeah seeing Liu Kang missing from the roster made me do a double take. I know the Game Gear had limited space and cuts had to be made but priorities, man.
yes, he would've been here, I don't why he was replaced by Kabal
Deadly Alliance did the same. It just doesn't feel like MK without out boi Liu Kang. (Or Johnny Cage & Scorpion)
That intro music - pure bliss.
....Next time someone complains about the SNES version of MK3's music, I'm going to point them to this... Wow...
TehZee the snes versions music was great
Lol those classic Atari sounds doe!!! The fatalities😳😭😂
And shao kahn looks like he makes "ha ha ha ha staying alive" rather then "help im fallen and i cant get up"
Wow! They should have just used MK2 engine and update everything else. This makes the original MK on game boy look good lol
The ending is like "naah im not leaving im just a game error now"
Also a typo with "the former ninja once again again dissapears"
Sounds just like the Atari 2600 right guys.
Mortal Kombat 2 Game Gear was hella better than this...didn't know kicks and punches could sound like bombs...
This sounds like those little flashing toy space gun's from the pound shops from early 90s. Come on everyone who was a kid back then you know you had one at some point, all our mums bought them for us for being good when we all went shopping aha
Sindels scream sounds like an game error lol
Love the exaggerated hits. BOOM.
They should play this version in those tournament thingies, instead of that latest SF crap.
+I AM IRONCLAW! A real test of endurance! Ha, ha!
I second this... it's actually very challenging
SHAO KHAN IS NO MORE!
He is now known as Missingno
😉
No Liu Kang?! Blasphemy!
The same sounds and music is awesome
(Master System and Game Gear with Mortal Kombat 3 with sounds and music are the same!) (In any Mortal Kombat game with Game Gear and Sega Master System)
The sounds were horrible.
how tf does mortal kombat 2 look better on game gear than this lol
OMG this is pure gold.
Sadly, more effort was put into this version than the game boy!
Sadly But That Bad
20, years ago i used to think this was great 😂
*20 years ago
👏💪
😁😺😏😊

Not me. Even when this came out for Game Gear I thought it was weak as shit. Mk 2, for Game Gear was better, but not even that great.
This Game is Sad..
2:28 the moment ya'll be waiting for.
This game never came out in the USA. I know why! This is horrible.
Do the stage fatalities. I'm assuming there are stage fatalities in this, otherwise, the pit and bell tower stages wouldn't be present here.
There's no stage fatalities. The stages are there just to be there =(
@Anthony Cook But then there’s no reason to include those stages if it’s.not possible to do the stage fatalities. There were plenty of other stages they could use instead. The Gameboy port had the Pit Fatality, but the spikes were on top of the bridge instead of under it.
bro this is a stripped down version because the sound is crap and + is poorly portable
Worst then ⛩️ Shaq-Fu ⛩️.
The best version of Mortal Kombat 3 in my opinion.. WHAT?!?!!
game play - 1/10
graphics - 3/10
sound effects - 2/10
overall - 2/10
The only M rated Game Gear game
Huge downgrade from the previous ports
The bell tower stage actually has the bell lol
This is one of the worst game gear games the grafix on the menus look great but in game looks and sounds like it was made for the amstrad cpc in 1985 and the controls where insanly bad i dont knouw how he beat this game when i tryed to play this i died in seconds.
+betarage Thank goodness this terrible port was only released in Europe. We only got the Game Boy version which is as bad as this.
+FanimationXV Yeah thank God we only got it. We're only Europe. Why are you glad that Europe has to suffer?
P Ferreira
I didn't say I'm glad that Europe has to suffer, what I meant was I'm glad it didn't come out in North America.
FanimationXV I understand what you meant but you're comment makes it sound like only America matters.
P Ferreira
Yeah, but I didn't really mean to act evil to you Europeans.
Why is there no music during the fights?
I would put in a Mortal Kombat Soundtrack if you want to hear Music during the fights.
The fighters size is reduced when they move or receive hits, this port is pure trash.
Wow! They had this game for game gear.
European release only
@@cozycastillorocks Ah okay 👍🏻
I had a Game Gear and loved the first 2 MK’s but this is awful I’m glad it was never released in the states. I wanted an MK3 on the gg originally as a kid but seeing this really makes me realize why it never made it over here! I had the Gameboy version and this is worse than that port.
Worse then MK3 on Game Boy.
Lol That's awful! Oh my lawd!
Horrid graphics, sound, most characters missing, moves are impossible to pull off, just bad.
Really, really, bad. 😅
this legit looks like a bootleg
Yep, even the NES bootlegs were better than this shit!
one of the fine examples of why get a inferior version of a game just because its mobile.
This looks alot better than the gameboy version
can you play threads of fate for the PlayStation one
Lol epic sound and music.lol
A very lazy port of the Game boy version. MK2 was way, way better on GG. A friend of mine bought this on release, while I had MK3 on the Mega Drive. It was a novelty, but we weren't impressed.
were are scorpion and reptile
They're only in UMK3
Only in UMK3 that sucks
little better than gameboy
Nossa como esse jogo trava, não sei se teria paciência pra isso rsrs

Look at 14:57, Shao Khan dies and does not get on the ground; the guys responsible for this port should be arrested, LOL
I owned this game and maybe my memory is wrong, but I don't remember the audio like this.
no Liu Kang? wtf
Who cares about him. Liu Kang sucks. Kung Lao is way better
@@sethvargas6725Hey, I play as Liu Kang.
8:16 fight with mysheeeeeef
Scorpion, Kung Lao, Stryker, Liu Kang,Jax, Shang Tshang and NightWolf are NOT Featured on this Port…What a Pity 😵💫
Scorpion wasnt in the original MK3 lol
You're thinking of UMK3. Scorpion isn't in MK3.
When I first played it i hated it too like most people, but now I wonder if some of the hate is bc its so challenging..bad animation and sound fx yes...but not as unplayable as some of the GB MK's. I wonder how many people here have honestly finished the game..
Awful in every way
Awful character animations.
They should have made sprites way smaller.
It would have played better,
Used less color.
The performance wouid have been really good
this is one pathetic MK game... If Midway themselves had handled this port, it would have been good
This is one of the worst games I've ever seen.
Thunder, thunder, fart, fart, thunder, explosion....fatality
Mortal Kombat 3 (GG Version)
Wow, this is atrocious.
I love MK3 on Sega Genesis over the mighy SNES port and I love SNES more Sega Genesis.
I grew up with Sega Genesis.
Still better than SFV
HaDaGaRa it really is😂😂😂
Game gear more like 2600
oh my god, worst roster in a fighting game ever?
This is the worst Game Gear game imo.
A joke... next
Game over final
Really difficult game to find
MK3 @ 1993 Taito America Corp.
what went wrong? i played better homebrews
Man, besides the MK2 Gameboy/Gamegear port, the music on all of the portable version of MK were ear rape!!! Also they were pretty garbage. It only got better when the GBA came around, well, expect for Mortal Kombat Advance....god that was a nightmare as well.

Looks like a bootleg!
Terrible port gameplay wise. It's just broken. But I was surprised by the graphics
Nah, MK1 and 2 look much better on the same system.
Even the Game Boy, with its four shades of gray, is better than this... that's really saying something
Great game!
Deludente
This is horrible
typos...ffs
scorpion > subzero
+xDurdead1 Amen to that. Scorpion is basically the mascot of Netherealm Studio.
Do not play this Game Gear version this version is my piece of filth.
xD
Is this a joke???
LOL why bother make the game at all hahaha!
a game so bad it's good lolz
This is pure trash 🗑
Right But This Is Ridicilous This Is The Piece Shit
Mortal Kombat 3 MERDE !!!
😂WTF??!!
This game stinks!
Cringe
This gm is horrible
