Just two things bother me about the article although I might be remembering them wrong since it has been a long time since I bothered with a MK game. Weren't the Genesis ports of the first two games inferior to the SNES versions and pretty poor overall. I remember the SNES version of MK1 playing closer to the Arcade version, the Genesis one felt really off although it did have the blood. Also I remember a lot of the juggle combos just not working in MK2 and it feeling a little off while the game played much better on the SNES.

It could have been the emulation, but I'm seriously telling you that the SNES version didn't control as well for me. As for MK2, well... Matt Furniss. Bam. (Seriously, though, I'm curious. Are there any examples of combos that won't work on the Genesis version that will with the SNES version?)

Not to be nitpicky, but the article also still says the cartoon was on UPN. It was on USA, same network that showed the Street Fighter cartoon.

Correction: This was not an official arcade release, but a bootleg running on a hacked PS3. A similar arcade bootleg exists for Super Street Fighter IV: AE, although that actually did get an official arcade release.

Still, the fact that at least some part of Japan was into the game enough to give that much attention is honestly pretty cool. I'm honestly wondering how they'll take to Injustice, although I hear they prefer their superhero stuff bright and wacky. Which explains what Capcom does with Marvel, I guess. I'll have to see if Derboo can change the article to reflect this, along with the USA/UPN thing. I'm not sure how that slip up happened, probably because they were both pretty low-rent channels I never had. One of them eventually stopped being so low rent, the other... er, didn't.

Injustice is actually getting an official Japanese release (though not on the 360). Marvel has always had a strong foothold in Japan, but I don't know what the popularity of DC is like. Of course, there was that insane Batman manga from the 60's that everyone knows about now.
The last MK released in Japan was Trilogy on PS1. The back of the box describes it as "American Fighting Action." MK4 was planned for a Japanese release, but failed location tests.

Speaking of such, here's an odd thing: Acclaim Japan released a PS1 port of MK2 (possibly based on the Saturn version) in 1996 for some reason. The weirdest part? About two months earlier, SCEI released the PS1 port of MK3 there. Confusing as hell. Doesn't even make sense. Even moreso when you consider the Saturn version had come out earlier. I guess they wanted to throw a bone to the MK2-lovin' PS1 owners? Then again, this is Acclaim we're talking about!

I just logged in because I discovered a stupid bit of trivia:
Bo Rai Cho: character name. Borracho: Spanish for "drunk".
Pronounciation is almost the same.

I've read a few Batman manga stories in recent years. It's interesting to see how creators from a very foreign culture view Batman and his world. They tend to get a little too anime for my tastes, but that's to be expected.
