Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
1995
Midway
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is often considered the true successor to MK2, and also one of the best of the series. MK3 was criticized for changing character models and omitting important characters (no Scorpion?! That's like a version of Street Fighter without Ryu!). So, Midway offered Ultimate MK3 as a free upgrade to arcade operators to bring back beloved characters and finalize a game that became a series favorite.
Story
Shao Kahn is tired of tournaments. His shadow priests reanimate his deceased wife's spirit on the Earth realm, allowing Shao Kahn to step through dimensional gates, reclaim his queen, and seize the Earth realm. Huh?! I'm not making this up. Anyway, do you really need such a complicated storyline for a fighting game? Does anyone really read these?
Tips & Strategies
With the right codes, you can unlock hidden charcters such as Ermac, Mileena, and human Smoke.
Start with a jump punch or jump kick to build a chain combo.
While back-flipping away from the computer, if you do a jump kick, the enemy will almost always throw a projectile.
