Ultimate MK3 Appears Briefly

Just a mistake?

by Erik Brudvig

October 20, 2006 - Without any sort of announcement from Microsoft, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 has been put up for download on the Xbox Live Arcade. It comes at an odd time, this being Friday, as Xbox Live Arcade games are usually released on Wednesdays. Still, the game was available for purchase at the cost of 800 Microsoft Points ($10 USD).

The download comes in at 43.62 MB and features multiplayer gaming for 2-4 players. Hurry and download it so that you can begin playing with Stryker, the worst character to ever appear in a videogame. We kid…sort of.

Update: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is no longer up on the Live Arcade. Looks like it was a mistake. We'll have more on Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 as the situation becomes clearer.

Yea, I was able to get it, I'm unable to play on Live though since the second you start up the game it disconnects you from live. (Luminies did the same thing the first few hours it was out).

[myNando]

Did you get the demo and maybe unlock the full version?

[The Teej]

Haha! That's awesome :D

[Captain_Wang]

I just bought some gamerpoints in frenzied anticipation for when it's available here. You gotta love Mortal Kombat.

It's finally up for me. I assume it is for most people now.

[dnast]

^ Yep. I just finished playing it.

I just wish they'd use some kind of filtering to get rid of the jaggies.

[Sheppard]

Yeah its back up again, got it in my download queue.

It's up, yeah, and I played it some (I really have to learn how to play though...). It's pretty fun, though the trial doesn't get you very far, and it still signs you out of XBL when you load it up.

haha, UMK3, thats awesome! but then i thought so was street fighter, and i only played it for 2 days

UMK3 is amazing, it seems to be up for good now. It does sign me out of live when I go to start it up and achievements only show up on the 360, not on xbox.com.

[Captain_Wang]

Yeah I keep getting signed out on launch too.

[trix]

bah, i misread the topic title for mdk3 now that would have been sweet.

It's a really fun game... but there's one issue with me, a big one. I'm trying to play a two player game, locally. When I press start on the other controller to join in, the dashboard comes up and wants the other player to log in with a live account. Problem is, that wont' work, and the dashboard won't go away. I tried loging in with my main account, and even my Japanese account. I can't play two player games at all. I hope they fix this and soon.

And BTW, it leaves me signed onto my live account when I play.

^ Yeah, I hate when some of the Arcade games require all players to sign in even when you're simply trying to play local multiplayer. Thankfully there are 3 accounts on my box, but it's still annoying.

I haven't tried using 2 players on UMK3 yet, but the fact that you always get disconnected from Live when you start the game shows that the game wasn't fully tested. I hope they come out with a patch soon.
