I'm glad someone showed MK Trilogy some love.
Jefferton Alive damn right, deserves it
MK Trilogy... Idk, what's the point? UMK3 is the real deal, especially if you own SNES or Genesis. Trilogy is just a cash grab that doesn't really add anything other than 2-4 extra characters
@@FIXTREME woth it for me
@@FIXTREMEI have mk9, mkX and mk aracade collection. I want the best most crisp version with the most content for ps1, should I get umk3 or trilogy?
@@sub-zero_ UMK3. I'll still say it years later
If they can remaster MK Trilogy on the PS4 with the roster from the PS1 version with Khameleon (N64 exclusive) added and also Tremor (was in promos for MK Trilogy), smoothed up graphics, online, rebalanced gameplay... It'd be awesome.
We also need MK9 ported to PS4.
Just give us an HD remake of MK9 instead of just a port
Khameleon was on both. Woman ninjas on 64, and men ninjas on ps1.
Chameleon is a seperate character [kharacter?] entirely.
Nah we don’t ps4 sucks
@@guitarspud1723I agree to all of this!!!
To make a long story short, MK3 was out for arcades then quickly came out on consoles within a few months. This pissed off arcade owners because previously MK1 and MK2 were out for at least a year before console release. As a way of saying sorry they provided a free upgrade which was UMK3, although some speculate this was already the plan because main characters like Scorpion and Kitana were missing in the vanilla version.
I forget what the reason was, but Sony had exclusive rights to MK3 CD port which is why it wasn’t released on Saturn, but this upgrade allowed it to be on the Saturn. That pissed Sony off so then MK Trilogy was made which was an upgrade to an upgrade (think Super Turbo with Street Fighter). MK Trilogy was rushed, I feel like it could’ve been a lot better but regardless it’s still the best version of MK3.
No, this is incorrect. UMK3 was already being developed before MK3 was released publicly, and was a planned free upgrade. It wasn't offered as an apology to arcade operators lol
@@TehDrewsus Proof? Sources?
@@robbiefitzsimons6173 😂😂😂 you normally can't post links in TH-cam comments.
Even when you win MK3 in the arcade on master tower without losing, it says "More Kombat Fall of 95"
UMK3 was released November 1995.
@TehDrewsus interesting. I wasn't implying you were wrong, but I just wanted to know where I can find it directly instead of searching Google for ages lol
Mortal Kombat 3 music on the Super NES is damn good as well as Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Mortal Kombat Trilogy is my all time favorite.
I always thought the Genesis version had better control than the SNES.
it does
Trilogy was so exciting, but then had so many bugs and glitches and difficult ai that we never really played it like we should have. It needed. Ton of polishing and quality control. Also, the characters moved much faster than they should have. It made things look and feel off and unnatural
The difficulty is absolutely brutal, nothing like getting wrecked by 20 hit combos by the third opponent
Once I herd the SNES looked almost arcade perfect I almost died wow all credibility lost

@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial ?
I was never a huge fan of 3/3 Ultimate, have seen many say the same for oddly similar reasons but its a good MK game in the end. MK Trilogy is a fantastic release, a must have really. Another great review guys.
Thanks bud! Yeah it definitely had a different tone which threw me off at first back in the day, but learned to appreciate what it added. Trilogy is the shit though, nothing like having everything in the series
***** Thanks as always pal!
UMK3 on the Genesis might lacking in terms of graphics but it runs and plays faster than the SNES and plays more arcade too. I have both version and the Trilogy on PSX.
Gold Piece agreed. The main drawback with the genesis port was that the standard 3 button controller was awkward as all hell to use. To play it properly, the 6 button controller was mandatory.
XDKuro why would you play MK or any fighting game using the 3 button controller, sure it's gonna sucks. When I got my genesis way back 1990s it comes with a six button controller.
It's all I had as a kid, unfortunately. Parents never bought the 6 button controller, since they saw it as unnecessary. "Why get another controller when you have 2 perfectly good ones?"
XDKuro that's unfortunate man. At least now that you're grown up you can buy six 6 button controllers.
Didnt umk3 eventually made its way into the ds
Yeah. I have a copy of it.
Yes. It was Ultimate Mortal Kombat. I, too, own a copy of it. There were minor changes done to it but nothing too drastic.
NetherRealm and Sony need to make MK Trilogy available again!
I like a block button more than back
The classic argument
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial It sure is
Like halo vs call of duty
Release Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy for PS5 with every character ever featured in a mk game up to the 2021 versions, in 2D
I’d kill for that
N64 is lacking in a lot of ways, but it has 3 on 3 Kombat, and for that reason alone it's my favorite MK after all these years. Loved watching an in-depth MK review where they love the games!
Ah good point there
I like MK3 on the snes better than UMK3 because it has Sheeva and you don't have to cycle the new stages twice before getting to play in the subway stage.
Good point
I absolutely love MK Trilogy on PSX, but I have to mention: I owned the original release revision as a child, the Greatest Hits version when I was older(original copy belonged to older brother). On PSX, PS2, and PS3, the Greatest Hits version freezes and completely locks the game quite a bit, especially on PS2 and PS3. I'd since found an older revision, and while there are some minor glitches, it doesn't freeze nearly as much as the Greatest Hits version.
Wow that’s crazy, good to know!
Mk Trilogy ..it took what ultimate MK3 had and perfected it MK Trilogy one of the best even better then MK Armageddon
Yeah Armageddon had to simplify it all a little too much to fit everyone in, trilogy hit that sweet spot
Out of the three MK games, I have to say that I think-overall-that UMK3 is the better game overall. Simply because it was my first foray into the MK universe. Of course, I still own them all despite not owning the systems they are played on. I own them to show my support to the series. I remember my friend Ron, my stepson Timothy and I played it everyday for two years for bragging rights to whom kicked the most tail. At any rate, all three games were quite impressive.
Very true
UMK3 still the best lol
ManuelG390 tis Damn good
Man, this channel is a hidden gem!
Thanks! 🍻
Mk3 is my favorite. Love the speed of the fights and combos and the ninjas never looked better!
It was such a shift when they threw in running and combos, was good to see
Awesome video guys! One of our favourite games when we were kids. Great to see this in its glory once again!
Thanks bud, MK Trilogy is easily one of our all time favorites
Team Clocked tough to argue having every character and almost every level haha
Yeah true haha
Love these reviews guys,especially on mk!
Paul N thanks 🍻
Paul N thanks!
Trilogy need a upgrade the loading screen annoy the hell outta me
Xellos Metallium they are pretty brutal
Load times were my hell in the 90’s
Great review.. when this game came out it was the only thing we were talking about in school with friends.. it was crazy..
But in addition, they went some production cut during the project.. You can see the fatalities are cheaply made.. it's like "cut" and "paste" no movement..look ridiculous.. they saved some money on that..
That's why MK1&2 fatalities we're better..
One of my favorite games of all time. Snes and PS. And i loved the animality and brutality. A the brutality was basically a KI finisher which, respect. And aninality just added something different. To me it hit more than friendship though i still appreciate it. Bringin em both back, there would be a dream especially with graphics today. Also combos. But both of them just adding another element to an already know factor, only wasn't expanded upon and visuals that could be dope like Lui and Kahn. It can be done. Even for an MK Shoalin monks Remake.
I liked how they did it in Shaolin as well, only good spinoff
Playing mk3 on the genesis today! Great game regardless of the grain, insane to play a game hyped for the PS1 on hardware from 1988 , love the channel and y'all's pod!
Is pretty crazy when you put it that way and thanks! 🍻
Super Nintendo was the better version then Sega Genesis I prefer to play this on super Nintendo because after all it's identical to arcade perfect by any means necessary.
Even though the Sega Genesis did had it flaws but my personal opinion it was just too grainy and the sound effects was still missing even the audio sound very different from the arcade including the super Nintendo version. 🍻
The age was really showing by the time ultimate 3 came around
The only thing I didn't like about Trilogy was the loading times between menus..oh and I think they took out some MK1 music on some stages and replaced it with the newer mk3 music (from memory)
Yea your right about the music and the PS1's biggest issue was the load times. Cheers bud
The Top Loader And the MK3 music is slowed down.
Then play the PC version.
It's the PS1 version but without loading times.
Never played the Trilogy version even though I had a PS1, the only versions I ever played of MK3 was the Genesis and SNES ones.
It’s pure fan service having everyone in one spot
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial It's a nice game for sure, used to play it all the time with my bro.
I wouldnt recommend the Snes or Genesis versions these days. You're so much better off getting a Pi and put the arcade versions on it. I do like Trilogy though..it's extremely fast.
6 button genesis wins every. Single. Time.
It’s the biggest advantage it has
Mortal Kombat 3 will always be my favorite I like the original Mortal Kombat 3 then the ultimate I still play my classic Mortal Kombat games to this day on my PlayStation 2 console it never gets old by any means necessary.😎
Phenomenal job once again guys, keep putting out quality content! :)
MrFrancesc11 Thanks! Will do : )
MrFrancesc11 thanks!
MK Trilogy for PS1 (not Nintendo) was everything great about the first three Mortal Kombat games. It was arcade perfect. It is the only game you need if you want to experience the first era of Mortal Kombat.
Yup, only killer is the load times
What's wrong with the N64 version of Trilogy??
Abe Torres censored violence and lame finishers
MK3 is my least favorite just because of the Combo system. The CPU just damn spams it. The combo system should of not excited til mk4
That’s fair, the computer has always been a pain since the first one so nothing new there
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial 2 beers for that. At least the pain of cpu spamming hurts less
Awesome video of a game series I've played since 1992. Great job guys!
UMK3 was also on ds
Now this I didn’t know, thanks
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial But for unknown reasons,it was renamed ultimate mortal kombat (dropping the 3).& it added puzzle kombat from deception
You forgot the GBA and DS ports
We were just doing the home consoles, all the handheld versions would be its own project. One day
There SHOULD HAVE been n64 Re-Releases of mk3 AND umk3! .. As well as Playstation 1 ports of Umk3.
Would have been cool to have arcade perfect versions
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial or better.... Hybrid versions of the Arcade/console versions.
how about the roasters
The only reason Mortal Kombat trilogy contents was cut out from Nintendo 64 due to limitation back in those days Nintendo was still using cartridge Sony was trying to convince Nintendo to use compact disc because it had more memory but as usual Nintendo didn't listen to nobody they stuck with the cartridge.
Even though Nintendo knew that the content was going to be cutting out because they were still using cartridges back in those days. 🍻
Mortal Kombat 3 is a fun game.
If you don't have it, I strongly recommend you buy the PlayStation version, but it's extremely rare from what I see but it is a very good (I'd say just about Arcade accurate) version/port.
I saw it once at a local video game retailer that sells new & older games, but when I got the $ & decided to go back to see if it was still there, you can probably guess what happened...
Well Amazon is probably your better option as it's practically a guarantee which was what I did.
I don't own a Sega Saturn, so I can't experience those versions of Mortal Kombat II, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 & Mortal Kombat Trilogy, but I have experienced (& do own) all their full (TV console) counterparts & some (but not all) hand-held counterparts which are (I'm sorry to say) not as good for the most part, but I can recommend Ultimate Mortal Kombat for the Nintendo DS which is far better than Mortal Kombat Advance & any of the hand-held Mortal Kombat games that came out before it.
Maybe someday down the road I'll get to own a Sega Saturn & those Mortal Kombat games available for it.
I will say that as far as Super Nintendo Mortal Kombat 3 & Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 as well as Sega Genesis Mortal Kombat 3 & Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 go...
Super Nintendo > Sega Genesis
That's usually the case with games I own on both consoles, but some tie & there's only 1 game I have for both I like better on Sega Genesis.
If you have PlayStation Mortal Kombat 3 and/or Mortal Kombat Trilogy, put them in a CD player.
Oh & 1 more thing...
If you have Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the PlayStation, make sure you have a (working) PlayStation 1 console on hand for it.
The game (for whatever reason I'm not quite sure what) doesn't fully work on a PlayStation 2 or a PlayStation 3, so certain things won't work.
I know I'm not alone with the experience of that.
Sometimes I think your breakdowns are better than ours, haha
Nice insight, would be interested to get my hands on the PS port of MK3, didn't even know it was on it until we did our research on it
I think Mortal Kombat 3 was 1 of the launch titles for PlayStation back in 1995 or it came a little bit later.
1 of the video game stores I went to months ago, I asked if he had it & he didn't know it existed, but thought I was talking about Mortal Kombat Trilogy (which I already had).
So I finally cracked & got mine off of Amazon for cheap & it works really well.
I replaced my 1st copy I got when I was in 9th Grade that got a deep scratch on it.
But the ability to play as Motaro & Shao Kahn is absent in this version, but you can fight Noob Saibot with VS code 769-342.
Like a lot of sights & guides I look at, I find it easier to write the code in numbers than the actual icons, but they're pretty easy to match up & some guides provide a list.
I had Mortal Kombat 3 on PlayStation Portable as part of Midway Arcade Treasures Extended Play, & i had Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 as on Xbox 360 as part of Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection.
Calm down.
I had mk trilogy on n64 i didnt see anything wrong with it lol
nice Chanel , good job guys .
video games thanks! Cheers
video games thanks!
What about all the bugs in MK Trilogy?(PS)
Great vid brother and you have a new Sub, I hope and pray that some day we will get these klassics remade, I'd pay any price.
That would be awesome. Need a new version of trilogy / Armageddon that has every new character since 9
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial Agreed!
Trilogy may have a ton of features and stuff, but the game is terribly balanced and the AI is completely fucked.
+Dominik Sobolewski That's cool, we never had that many issues with the game, but thanks for watching bud
Drink a Beer and Play a Game You think it's fair for the enemy AI to read all your button inputs to counter your moves?
+Dominik Sobolewski to be fair a lot of the console ports of the older games seemed to be the same. MK2 and 3 could be brutal at times
I remember my dad brought this I was getting my ass kicked
curtis heard haha same
Why not threw comparation of MKT Sega Saturn least.
We didn’t have it, still don’t tbh
What's wrong with the N64 version of MKT?
I always thought it was better than the PSX version because it had no loading times between fights.
The biggest problem is it is missing a ton of characters, and some of the exclusive fatalities (like Scorpions clones) is kind of lame. Also, the sound quality of the music during the game is pretty weak, and the N64 controller doesn't lend it self to fighting games as well as the PS or Saturn.
I do love the lack of load times, a big reason I bought a N64 as a kid instead of a PS
+Drink a Beer and Play a Game Thanks for the answer, I didn't know about characters missing in the N64 version. Maybe I'll hunt down a psx copy now.
Ruud de Zwart its really cheap too so def worth a look. cheers bud
The N64 version also has a lot of missing frames of animation. You'll definitely want to get the PS1 version or Sega Saturn version. The Saturn version is rare and pretty expensive though.
+jediknightgeo good calls here, cheers bud
I have a question about the SNES "mortal kombat 3 final anthrox beta hack"... anyone know what this changes from the original "Mortal Kombat 3" game on SNES?? (I mean the original, not the Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 game)
I’ll have to look into it, haven’t heard of that hack
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial I'm not going to download an SNES emulator because I have an SNES Classic (I'm going to be adding 65 SNES + Super Famicon titles in addition to the already existing 21 titles... eventually)... I'd just really like to know what that "Anthrox hack" is beforehand, so I can decide whether to put that one on or the original MK3 (not UMK3).
whats wrong with the n64 version?
Viz Beats muted violence and inferior sound
Try ultimate on the saturn that's the best version by the way
No way psone is better
Im starting to love this show.
+Meme Master Thanks bud! Cheers!
Thank you!
Drink a Beer and Play a Game i play mk3 and umk3 at the arcade god love the game
Got the intro music stuck in my head!
haha it is catchy, It's by RoccoW and is called Chipo Remix...I think. We found it on freemusicarchive.com
haha it is addicting
+Drink a Beer and Play a Game friendship, friendship
I just subbed, great review. And i like the name of ur channel, i like the way u guys think lol. UMK3 is the shit 😎💯 wish i can play online again. Nobody plays anymore in the MK Arcade Kollection.
FreddPhucks ah yeah that is older at this point isn’t it? And thanks!
The death of Liu Kang lol
Genesis also have mk trilogy hack version
Which is crazy awesome 👌
Wow, the other versions of this game are a lot better than the Nintendo DS version. They have a lot more characters.
love what you guys do
Thanks! We appreciate that!
Saberwind45871 thank you!
Liked that you picked many versions of mk3 to compare but this 14 minute video does not show that much detail of the games. It feels too generalized. I prefer Consoles Wars style over this.
Console Wars is one of our favorites, they do damn good work
Hi Guys,
Mortal Kombat 3 to Trilogy was in my eyes the greatest MK time. Mortal Kombat Trilogy for Nintendo 64 is my favorite game of all time.
Love the video ;-)
Thank you
Andre Eichstedt
The snes version is cropped
Beer and video games. Hell yes!!!
Sadly I never played mk 1 2 3 and trilogy , anyway awesome review
PS - Lover oh man you need to get on that, and thanks !
Umk3 was in Xbox live market place and it had Xbox live and it was the best game ever.
Yall talk as tho the diff in specs between genesis and snes are significant. Pffft
I mean, they do. Snes has like 60x as many colors
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial and genesis is like 4x faster cpu
Genesis does what Nintendont!
And dont u forget it
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial blast processing !!!
Lol
Sega genesis had its advantages to....if it didnt we wouldnt be still talking about the rivalry 30 something years later cuz itd be no contest but im not gonna stand by while ppl bad mouth my childhood game console....do u know what Segata Sanshiro does to ppl like u?
U tryna catch these Sega hands good sir?!
Wow snes was missing four backgrounds in umk3 and still a 9. Cough biased opinion
That aside it looks, plays and sounds better on snes. Genesis was just too old at that point. Shame it was never ported to 32x like MK2, could have been awesome
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial I agree but snes sounded so muffled
@@Nobunaga1983 snes is a reverb monster so I guess it comes to preference there
No shaolin monks review huh?
Working on it, probably next year along with Special Forces and then we hit them all
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial can't wait! I'm sorry that you have to play special forces
@@aroccoification already played and footage recorded haha
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial well that's a relief lol
UMK3 is way better than Trilogy
It’s more polished, we are just marks for having every single person even if some moves got lost
I fucks with this
Good man
Everything sucks on Sega Genesis. But mk trilogy why did had to do Johnny cage like that no nut crunch it makes it boring
Disagree on the first part but big time agree on the second
@@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial I mean for mortal kombat for Sega the sound system sucks.. on trilogy PS1 less cheat codes and less John cage ..that's fourth was coming soon I guess
Have you reviewed any WWE games?
Yes we have, did a number of them in 2017. If you look through our video game review playlist they are all in a row
I like your channel
Playstation is the worst version of MKT due to load times on the system. Best version is MKT on PC, shang tsung is actually playable.
In the PS1 version you can transform up to 11 characters without loading.
The best one is ultimate mortal kombat 3 for the Sega Saturn
erick monroy need to get a Saturn one day
mk3 for snes for me
Yo guys can you give me your ps4 IP name?
SNES fanboys. ^_^
Greg Manukyan haha, I’m a lot of things but a snes fanboy is not one of them
Trilogy sucks lol
j johnson I’ll always like it, nostalgia
@@batmandx it was good just the load times were ruined it
@Tony Ojiambo you know I'm right
