    Now that there's a brand new Mortal Kombat on the PS5 , Nintendo Switch and other platforms, I figured it was time to take a look back at the EXTREMELY VAST world of Mortal Kombat Clones! Klones? However you wanna say it. I still can't believe this thing is on Switch, do people not remember the Krypt? WILD.

    There is a Mexican Mortal Kombat clone called "Kombate Mexicano X".
    I bought a copy of it when I went to the EGS (a gaming convention that had support from big brands) like 16 years ago in the indie section that was behind the important booths, the person demoing the game was actually one of the developers/actors who was digitized into the game.
    I may still have the game somewhere in my old CD collection.
    As a Mexican game, it had mechanics inspired from King of Fighters, references to corrupt politicians, pop culture figures, and El Chavo, plus a ton of albures.
    I loved bringing it to the IT classroom in high school, where we would play it while the teacher wasn't looking.

      My country had one of those, but it was a flash game full of the "memes" from that era plus some foreign, legendary ones like Edgar (from "La Caída de Edgar").
      The one you mentioned, how was it about the budget? Did it look serious although the themes and references or was it more like a fun, one-time little project?

      @@CristianNavia0807 it was closer to Mortal Kombat, as the fighters were digitized actors.
      I don't know the budget it may have had, but it was an entertaining game with around 20 characters, but I may be misremembering it.
      It can still be found online.
      In their official page, which is now offline, one could download fighters for free, as back then downloading the full game at once would have taken a while, one could download one by one.

    Fun fact about Eternal Champions: “Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's 1995 album E. 1999 Eternal, was loosely inspired by the video game, not just in title, but even as far as the use of samples, such as the character bios theme for "Eternal", and the bad ending theme being the basis of the original "Crossroad", which would later be remixed, becoming the group's biggest single and earning them a Grammy.”

    Street Fighter The Movie The Game deserves some degree of mention. While everyone involved seemed to be on a completely different pages as to exactly what they were making, at least some of those involved viewed the game as Capcom attempting to copy the look and success of Mortal Kombat.

      @@Invidente7 The SF3 story has been debunked. It was apparently a misunderstanding on the part of some people at Intelligent Technologies.
      Capcom USA had denied the claim all the way back at the beginning of 1995.
      Polygon's oral history article is even more telling. Not only does everyone from Capcom Japan deny the idea (instead it was viewed as a spin-off), even some of the people at Intelligent Technologies deny it. While Alan Noon said he remembered the game being pitched as SF3 and even found a design document that called it such, Ralph Megosa said Capcom never approved that name and that it was likely just an (IT) internal development label.
      That's what I meant when I said everyone seemed to be on completely different pages as to what they were making. While some people at IT thought Capcom was looking to outside Western developers to "save" the SF franchise, Capcom Japan was just dumping off a project (making a game based on the live action movie) that they *didn't even want to make.* The whole reason SFTMTG exists is apparently because the president of Capcom had first wanted a movie made for a Capcom property, and then wanted a game made for the movie...

    Omf2097 was one of my favorite games in the late 90s and I remember one of my friends contacted the creator to use the music on my city's local Comcast cable channel. While it might feel clunky by today's standards it's deep story telling for the tournament modes made it an amazingly fun dos alternative to Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter 2 (for a single player). If you had the ability to use 2 Gamepads it could also be very fun with 2 players even if it wasn't as deep on a mechanical level. Ran on everything and had a shareware (and then freeware) version. Free vs the 50 to 60 Dollars Mortal Kombat was at the time made it an easy choice for me. And damn it's soundtrack is full of bangers

    There's this one very obscure fighting game on Mac and PC called The Untouchable that would've been a good fit for the video, it was released in the late 90s and had digitized characters. There's not much info on it out there so I'm not shocked that it wasn't mentioned. Looks like it was developed by the same studio that made Bikini Karate Babes lol. Great video, man. Been watching since the FFXV review!

    I had (and still have) Kasumi Ninja and Ultra Vortex. I actually preferred Kasumi Ninja, as I was able to work out better “strategies”. Also, i thought it was cool how the characters would fall in a few different ways based on how they are hit. That was actually pretty cool.

    BIG fan of Eternal Champions Sega CD, so glad you mentioned it.
    The wild hidden characters is almost as iconic as its violence.

    I'm so glad you mentioned Death Cargo! I remember hearing about that game and being super intrigued by it only to never see or hear about it actually being released... Maybe a whole video on that story?

    This video unlocked a core memory. I bought one must fall 2097 from the discount bin I’m the 90s and it only worked once on my pc with no sound. Never got it working again and tossed it.

    Congratz on ten years! I found your channel over 2020 and it helped entertain during The Bad Time. Would love to see you do something with the No One Lives Forever franchise! I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned before but it's a nostalgic one for me and I always want to see more of it :)

    Only MK "clone" I really played back in the day was Eternal Champions for the Genesis/Mega Drive. I was never very good at it, but I still enjoyed playing it on my friend's machine. Primal Rage, too. One of my local pizza places had an arcade machine for a good while after both TMNT arcade games had more or less been played out by everyone.

    I loved the character "Larcen" in Eternal Champions. He was a bad ass to my young mind, reminding me of a mix of Batman and Dick Tracy (Dick Tracy being a game I also played a lot of the Genesis.)

    One Must Fall 2097 is fantastic; one of my all-time favorite PC games. Nice to see it get a shout-out here.
    Also, congrats on 10 years! I discovered and subscribed to you because of your Babylon's Fall video of all things since I got the platinum trophy for it before it closed up shop. Been loving the videos ever since.

    Those Jackie Chan games are actually really good, they seem chunky and just button smashers at first, but if you keep at it, there's actually a very interesting combo system that's hard to describe but eventually you catch on. Play as that Chinese New Years Dragon thing first if you want to learn it.
