One thing the N64 version does better than the PSX one, and that is frequently overlooked whenever the N64 version is brought up, are the fatalities.
That's probably the best way I could explain what happened with Trilogy, and it's exactly as confusing as it sounds.
N64 MORTAL KOMBAT TRILOGY CODE
There's also quite a few remnants of the arcade code in the N64 version as well, and a recent leak suggests that MKT for the Playstation may have actually been based off the UMK3 3DO code, which itself was never released and ironically seems based off the PSX MK3. So despite it's missing frames and synthesized music that pales in comparison, gameplay wise it's the most accurate version of the ports. But by taking this shortcut, they also ported a 53hz refresh rate game to 60hz incorrectly, which resulted in an increase of about 10fps that actually ends up making the gameplay faster. When Avalanche ported the game, they took the easy way out converting the audio/video which is why the 22khz music sounds slower and lower in pitch. When MKT was in development, they handed off the PSX/PC version to Avalanche - where the N64 version was done "in house" by Williams (who also published it). I know a lot of people are going to look at me like I've got three heads for saying that, but let me explain why:
Then I guess its ok.īelieve it or not, Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the N64 is the closest gameplay wise to Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 of all the ports. Unless you feel as if you need to collect every single MK game ever made. Otherwise you should stay away from this game. It is still playable and can be enjoyable, but only if you've never played the Playstation version before. Theres many other things wrong with this game, and the controlls feel a little wierd too.
Music sounds like it came off of a SNES or Genesis Game, and the wrong music plays on all the levels. The Stages in Ladder mode are always set in the same exact order, unlike the PS version where its random and better. When it finnaly arrived and I got to play it, I was really dissapointed at how inferior it was compared to the Play Station version.While I was already expecting it to be not as good, as Cartriges dont hold as much as discs, It still was worse than I expected. So I decided to buy the N64 version of the game to make up for it. My old Playstation recently bit the dust(R.I.P.) So I didnt have a way to play Trilogy.
