It turns out Shao Kahn wasn’t quite dead, despite quite clearly turning into stone and exploding at the end of MK2. Unfortunately, this is the point in the fighting game genre where Capcom and SNK were beginning to take some bold new steps, and MK3 doesn’t really do too much to change up the engine or the typical mechanics that make up an MK game. There’s a new setting for all the violence to take place in, new gameplay mechanics, new secrets, new characters, and with that, a whole lot of new fatalities. Some of them worked, while others don’t work quite so well. But this time around, instead of just taking the original Mortal Kombat and polishing it, a few new ideas were added in. With as much popularity as the series had, another sequel was inevitable. Merchandise was being made, comics were being published, and talks of a major motion picture were in the air. After the release of Mortal Kombat 2, the series had nowhere to go but up.
