NCS Game Synopsis - Update November 26, 2008
«©NCSX» In Midway's Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, gamers finally get to answer daunting questions such as, "Can Superman beat Raiden?" and "What happens when Batman meets Kano?" These questions and more will be answered when players get their hands on MK vs DCU for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America and Europe. Generally, games are the same in both territories but there'll be censoring in the U.S. version. To achieve a "Teen" rating in the States, Midway had to edit the Joker's gunshot-in-the-face fatality and Deathstroke's impale-him-then-shoot-him-in-the-head fatailty. Note that Kitana's fan-to-forehead-impaling fatality has been changed in all versions so that her fans are jammed into her opponent's chest. Seeing such heinous fictional acts would apparently traumatize the youth of North America. Europeans are apparently a more permissive lot as their version of MK vs DCU won't be censored. Both fatalities made it to the production version of the game which arrived yesterday. NCS is currently accepting new orders for the second shipment of MK vs DCU which is scheduled to arrive in the first week of December 2008.
