You are the man. No one ever mentions the fatalities being either watered down or rushed. Im so glad you attempted to find out why. This is one of the main reason I dont like this version.

Another example of true in-depth videogame culture! Your documentaries should run on many TV programs continuously in spite of all the rubbish we see nowadays! Thanks Patman! Have a lovely sunday

Glad to have you back.

So glad to see you’re still making vids. I always watch for the history and information but I keep coming back for the jokes

I never thought I would see The Zapruder Film be referenced in a game review! Well played, sir!

2011? That's like a million years from now.

Another game that emptied my pockets when I was a teen 😆😂🤣

Thanks for the doc! I think MK3 has the fastest controls which is nice. I find that pulling off a move at the last second is much easier in this game than others. For that reason alone I like playing this one better. For instance, I can freeze an opponent, dart over with the run button, and perform a six-hit combo all in a matter of a few seconds, which I can’t do with any of the other games. It forces you to pay attention constantly

My parents bought me this game for pc and i was initially a bit disappointed because i wanted to play the original characters so badly.. but after a while i actually really liked that it was so different to the first two games, the lack of original characters made me think that they had died in the first two tournaments and the story was progressing and it made the first games feel even more special as I could only see those characters by going down to the arcade and playing them. beautiful video mate nice work as usual!

Back in my college days, when this came out I remember learning that the game upon its initial release was at an arcade back where I grew up, so I would travel the hour-plus on the weekend early in the morning to hit that arcade up on a Saturday morning to play it. Stryker was my first character of choice, and thanks to the internet I learned the moves so I could go and be quite dominant with that character, which made the watchers go OOOOH and AAAAH...lol...great memories. Great game.

'Turd on a popsicle stick' is now my go-to insult. Thank you good sir. So speaking of the Gameboy ports, how MK3 on the Gameboy managed to repeat all the problems with the first game after they had actually FIXED most of them for the second game will always baffle me. It almost feels like these ports were released out of order. Anyway, great video as always! Love all your content!

Hi Patman Not only your videos are still full of nice infos about the games, but also you bring them with humor and passion. Great job one more time, and greetings from France again!

So glad you're up and running after that health scare. Hope you're doing well

YES! My favorite game EVER! I have 5 MK arcade machines in my living room lol

That's what made this game revolutionary The game literally had 3 updates to it This game is a true masterpiece of it's time

Stryker has gotta be the dorkiest looking character in any fighting game.

I’m not going to lie, at first I was like, “this dudes voice is crazy.” But as I watch more and more, I get it! You just gained a new subscriber my friend!!!! Please keep up the good work!!!!!!

Man I love your videos. Straight to the point, informative, with out trying to hard or being over the top begging me to smash like buttons, etc... keep up the awesome work

Excellent video. I was impressed by your thoroughness although that's come to be expected by now considering how high you continually set the bar.

Glad you're doing better. Turd on a popsicle stick made me laugh out loud.

Yaaaay! The best Internet Gaming History Professor is back!!!

I love these videos. The second half showing all the various ports is always really interesting.

Just found this channel and man, I love it! Then again, I'm 40yrs old. Probably explains it lol.

"With a third movie due to be released in 2011..." Love this channel and such but uh... what? Getting back on topic though one thing this game did I really liked was that they hid codes for MK3 EVERYWHERE. The two I remember being the credits for the first MK movie, and with a code they would show up in the pinball table Theater of Magic's Safe Escape mini game.

MK 3 hype was overflowing before its release due to MK 2's excellence.

I spoke with Carlos Pasina and he said he wasn't evolved with MK3 because he was working on Midways Open Ice at the time. Which was a hockey version of NBA Jam.

Patman bringing that quality content!! Glad to see ya back man.

No jokes about the Scorpion animality? Where he turns into a penguin

Always glad to see one of your vids in my inbox.

Yay! The PAC is back! So glad you're better! I recently got my MK3 (longbox) copy for the PS1.

MK3 will always be my fav MK game. I just loved the combo system and the amazing sound effects. Even all the manekin parts when bodies blew up were funny to me 😅

My mother still has my Rzone. My daughter tried it and the sadness was just too hilarious.

That Game Boy music...-shudder-

MKII was always my favorite because it was the pinnacle of FMV and improved on MK.

Thanks again, Patman. These are my favourite video game vids. I love the research and detail.

Another masterpiece of a vid! I agree with you on mk3. Something did feel of for sure. The difficulty of that one is of the charts. I think they changed that in ultimate mk3. Both felt extremely difficult from the first 2 though. Awesome job with the vid! 👍

glad you are back. missed you during the brief pause. always enjoy your history on all the games i grew up with.

Love your videos. MK3 - the music here is absolutely amazing

Big Trouble In Little China Will always be my Secret Mortal Kombat Movie

This man’s one liners are priceless 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a comeback, better than Rock IV. WELCOME BACK, TOP VIDEO, JUST REALLY RAD!! ROCK-ON!!!

Love your videos a lot of information I never knew about the behind the scenes making of these masterpieces.

I always loved the audio in this game.... the exaggerated screams and yells always killed me....i love this game

Gotta love the Prince reference with the purple ninja Rain.

Glad you're back. Will you be doing a Mortal Kombat 4 video? It was the last game in the series to be released in arcades, as they cancelled the arcade version of "Deadly Alliance". Anyway... thanks for the content, brother!

Yes, I've been waiting for a new vid, and this one was GREAT! Thanks Patman!

I remember pulling out Graveyard, The Portal and Kano Noob Saibot battle using the Kombat Kodes to activate them in MK3 on the SNES version. I also recall playing the Bosses too with fatalities that were the same as MK Trilogy too using the cheat menus. Yes! There were work arounds but, the content was there. That was the second best port.

It's good to see you back Patman!

2021 ... regardless. glad to see more vids from you! your voice is always relaxing to hear

I love the sounds of arcade MK

You might want to revisit this episode and correct some inaccuracies. For instance, there is no way for you to play against Rain in the arcade version of UMK3 as he was just added to the attract mode to troll gamers.

I looked everywhere for the prima strategy guide when this first came out thank you dad for getting it for me! ♥️🇵🇷

I'm totally familiar with mortal Kombat trilogies.. Which is still the best home console application ever..

I had alot of fun beating that mk3 "galaga" with a friend on Genesis. Its 2 player only and took lots of tries, even though it's only a few waves long. Have to have a friend to beat it.

Great video ! I actually loved MK3 when it was released

I remember UMK3 being the first MK game I ever actually owned without having to barrow it from my uncle like Mk 1&2.. It's still my favorite to this day. Purely because of nostalgia.

Whoa! Those videos of the actors/actresses posing for the rotoscope or whatever are amazing! I've never seen this for this game! That Millenna is gorgeous, that Jax amazing - totally looks like game Jax!!!

I can't wait for 2011 to get here so I can finally check out the third Mortal Kombat movie!!!

I love MK3, the 10 button combo system was the best

this was the begining of the fall from greatness in my opinion.

Awesome video as always Patman, keep it up.

Interesting the commercial being from Brazil (where I'm from). I played Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 a lot when I was younger. The best way to play I think was using Sega Genesis/Saturn controller because the buttons were placed better.

MK3 Ultimate was my absolute favorite out of the entire series, even to this day. Just felt so mysterious with fun secrets to hunt down. I also loved the level transitions. On top of that, it had my favorite charater, Cyber Smoke.

I have to admit that I played the arcade versions of MK2 & 3, but mainly played the snes versions. Yet I completely agree 2 & 3 could be different games in a lot of aspects unfortunately, that's why i think MK2 is the one that the long term fans remember.

Great video! Your commentary is perfect!

Patman! You rule, dude!

Yay PatmanQC video. Today is a good day

Only half a hour of PatmanQC?? Dang!! PatMan if money was no object, I’d pay you to make one of these each week for the rest of time. Unless your wife tells me off. Or mine tells me off!! Haven’t watched it yet but will set aside some time. Your great as always Pat!

So funny to hear you say that about getting the game when it first came out. I said the exact thing myself with MK2. Paid 69.99 at Meijer's and was astonished at how well it looked on the SNES. But lost interest really fast.

I think the combination of the excessive lightheartedness and the more modern locale were what turned me off from this one... although the post-apocalyptic look does look cool.

But is it me, But does Sub-Zero without the mask. Looks like Henry Rollins?

The new movie is coming in 2021 not 2011 lol glad to have you back anyway

Even though I started with the original, MK 3 is my favorite.

Actually the development name for Kabal was Tusk and Rain was only an Easter Egg, not a hidden. Also, it's very worth noting that within the MK3 universe, UMK3 arcade is considered the Holy Grail because it's the best balanced (including from MKT).M any ports suffered from gameplay timing shifts due to resolution changes and poor porting. Also there was a java port and a GBA port which you had to actually run away from. And the Apple 3D version they did only a couple of years ago, which is fun (but doesn't break grounds).

I have to say MK3 was a game I put too many quarters in. Getting beaten by regular players at my college bowling alley.

I love the run and do a quick combos but the longer combos was the biggest challenge ever and you gotta do it Very Fast.

I Love that Game !!! The only Issue I had with this Game was that SCORPION was not an available Character. I LOVE the Fatalities in this Game, especially the ones where your opponent explodes. Nostalgic to 100%. I got that Game 3 times for different Consoles, this is how I Love that Game ;-) My favorite Mortal Kombat Game of all time is MORTAL KOMBAT TRILOGY. Which one is yours???

I got mk3 for sega genesis in the 90s and guide book.. man I played that game so much.. as an adult I played umk3 online. So awesome

Sweet Jesus this was the only MK game I couldn’t complete...the motaro boss was just brutal

Just a few years ago (2016 or 17) I was taking a road trip and stopped at some random mom and pop restaurant off an exit somewhere in Illinois. There was a room in the back with a pool table, when I decided to walk back there and shoot around, I saw they STILL had MK1, MK2, and UMK3 arcades lol... of course I had to pump some quarters in and get a blast to the past! You can get your own MK machine these days, but it's rare to still find them in public.

So excited when I saw a new vid from you.

this was the best of the trilogy ... the combos added that good shit.. you could combo a person almost to death with kabal lol

My favorite game in the franchise. I love the combos.

13:56 The dark setting of the first two games and the goofiness made it feel much different.

Welcome back man, I really hope you are ok man with that health scare you had. You are back so that's a good sign. That new MK movie trailer looks bad ass though. Have you seen it?

This was my favorite version but you're right the fatalities are on the wacky side and was that superman at the end there telling me to play with myself lol!

I love your vids, but I think you said mortal Kombat 3 is 2011, but meant 2021. Anyway, I’m headed to patreon, you’re awesome.

Fun fact: The Brutality which first appeared in the SNES and Genesis version of Ultimate MK3 was made instead of the Animaity due to memory limitation. Because the cartridge of both systems doesn't had enough memory to keep all the contents from Ultimate MK3, Animality had to be remove and since they remove the Animality SNES and Genesis players lose a little bit of the arcade experience but to make up for that Avalanche Software cleverly made the Brutality finisher by reusing all the combo animations in the game and combining them ending the finisher with a deadly uppercut. This finisher didn't eat up memory unlike what the Animality did and make both home ports really enjoyable not to mention combo finishers were getting popular at the time too in parts thanks to the popularity of Tekken and Killer Instinct (and its popular Ultra Combo finisher).

Note: Ultimate for Genesis and Snes have more characters than the Saturn and Arcade ver.

I had the SNES version of the Ultimate edition I saw it at the mall with my dad and begged him to buy it for me. It was $70 brand new. But my dad and I and my friends had many great years playing it.

MK 2 & 3 were my favorite ones. The new MK games are waaaay too gory. Not my taste.

One thing I have always wondered . I own the sega Saturn ultimate mortal kombat 3 . The voice text for the rounds is missing from the game but the sounds are on the disc . You can play them with the disc in a CD player . Made no sense to me why it was not in the game but in the game disc

oh my i had to go and listen a few times because i thought when you were talking abou the silhouette figure Noob Saibot that you said something else when you said "since there are no ninjas in the game"

Love the Zapruder film reference! hahaha

When I first heard that Scorpion wasn’t in the game, I immediately thought it was lame.

Welcome back. Great video, too

MK3 was okay, but not a fan on several characters in the game. I'm still a big fan of MK2 arcade game and remains my favorite. Good to see you in action Patman!!

Like number 75, similar to my wife to las Vegas buffete, jajajaja, i remembered i stole the ultimate snes version of this game with box and manual to a friend.

My stingyness in letting go of good and older games started to emerge with MK3 and UMK3. I remember when it came out and still preferring the 'older' MK2 gameplay experience, look and sound, and even preferring to still play MK1 at times. MK3/UMK3 just felt strange.

Those classic look action figures look awesome
