      You know, I actually have Mortal combat 4 for the gbc. I got it for free from an old friend. The moment I got into the first fight, I was like, what the fuck is this shit?

    Funny story, a game shop down town Toronto had like 50 boxes of MK4 for GBC. They even displayed it in the shape of a number "4". Every time I visited the shop it made me chuckle since that display of MK4's was there till the store closed. It was there for 5 years and not one copy sold.

      You can play MK4 on a regular Game Boy too, that way you don't have to look at those ugly color graphics. If you play it on Super Game Boy, you got more color options than on either the Game Boy Color or Game Boy Player.

      MK4 is my favorite MK game, and I can safely say that the GBC port is an insult to the game it's based on. Hate on MK4 all you want, but at least the arcade original and the console ports had effort put into them. The GBC port is one of the most blatant cash grabs of all time.

    I just wanted to say that you're the most UNDERRATED TH-camr I've ever seen! You always produce amazing content and I greatly appreciate how much I have learned from your channel. Your analysis is always comedic as I get a Squidward vibe from the way you narrate your topics. I can also feel your passion with the level of emphasis you put into each video. You are by far one of my favorite channels to watch. Watching you always gives me a nostalgic vibe every single time. I wish you and your channel the best in the future!

Btw, about the fatalities, do you seriously not see the effort that's been put into them? The devs of this game have obviously poured their heart into that game. It's people like you that disgust me and wish that youtubers would stop talking crap about my childhood games and actually discuss terrible games like Breath of the Wild or Super Mario Odyssey. Smh

    I actually really like the visual style of the Deadly Alliance port. Has any other game done that kind of reverse 2.5D style, where sprites act on a 3D plane? It honestly looked like a scene from a late 90s Disney flick, where the hand drawn animation acted on a cgi plane

    I remember getting MK4 on my GBC. There weren't many games for it at the time, and I wanted to see how colorful these games were going to be.
    Imagine my disappointment when I learned the fatalities were "greyscale." Hell, they looked like animation made with the GameBoy Camera.
    I was so relieved when I learned that they also colorized and re-released _Link's Awakening._ That game is great.

    YES back in the day (2002/2003) MK Deadly Alliance on GBA was a big dal. Everybody was playing Super Mario Advanced 2 or Pokemon Ruby, (and getting hyped for the new Remakes of Gen1).. if you werent playing Mario or Pokemon on any gameboy you were a loser/hater... BUT this changed with MKDA and TE... at the time having a 3D fighting game on a handled was big deal... I dont think even Tekken had a truly 3D port on GBA...This MK was a trip at the time... and yes, I remember the palette swaps being "costumes” but we loved them. I particularly remember the classic 80's costume with brighter tones of orange, pink and yellow lol

    I grew up with MKI&II on GBC, as a combo pack. I do remember playing II significantly more than I, but once you got used to the input lag the controls weren't nearly as bad as the video implied.
    Also, playing as Goro involved more than just winning the game. You had to finish the whole game with any fighter, then wait for the credits and the words "The End" to appear. Simultaneously press and hold [Up] + [Left], Select and [A] until the Title screen appears. Release all buttons, and press Start. Then the "Goro lives as you" screen would appear and you'd play as him. He was laughably overpowered and broken, but that was the fun of it.
    I'm sure that's all just rose tint, but I really liked both games as a kid, even though I was significantly worse than II, objectively speaking.

    To me, if I have to choose a best Nintendo hand-held Mortal Kombat of the ones you reviewed, I'd go with either Mortal Komnbat II, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance or Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition.
    I will say that I like the music tracks from Game Boy Mortal Kombat 1, which is why I rank it higher than Mortal Kombat Advance & especially Mortal Kombat 3.
    Want a really awesome Nintendo hand-held 2D Mortal Kombat?
    Ultimate Mortal Kombat for the Nintendo DS is the way to go.

    This is my favorite videos on the internet. I'm not even a big MK guy but hearing the waves of disappointment then optimism as you go through the games, concluding with your description of MK4's Game Boy Color version, it's cathartic to watch, I think gaming now has problems but yeah, shovelware used to be a much bigger beast then. Now, it's bootleg ads for bootleg Among Us that's taking the world by storm.

    With MK on GB you have to tap the motions really slow and they will work every time. It's all about the timing. Trying to do this on an emulator may be harder as the controller you are using may not be simulating the GB controls very well.

    I dare say Pikasprey towards the end of this video you sounded like the AVGN as just a calmer and more PG-friendly version of him.

    Great review, and thanks for the sour memories, unironically :) 8:50 I think (and I'm reaching very far here), the "Anime" version is derived from the whitewashing scandals in Anime where black characters are recoloured blue (Jynx, Mr. Popo) to look "less offensive". So making Scorpion's garb blue makes sense just in context, not in humour or individuality.

    A friend bought me MK2 for the GB when I was in the hospital as a kid. LOVED it. Played the heck out of it. Still have the music stuck in my head. Kid I knew from school who I thought was a friend asked if we could swap cartridges for a weekend since he had 1 and I had 2. I never got that cartridge back. A 'burglar' took it.
    Still one of my favorite GB games.
