Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition submitted for R18+ classification

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition submitted for R18+ classification

Yes you read that correct folks, Warner Bros. are attempting to get Mortal Kombat classified at R18+ in Australia, by reissuing it as the 'Komplete Edition' - which bundles the original game with all of its DLC, the hilariously awful Mortal Kombat movie from 1995 and the album 'Mortal Kombat: Songs Inspired By The Warriors' - an album of, obviously, songs inspired by the warriors from Mortal Kombat - featuring tracks by the likes of Skrillex and MSTRKRFT's JFK.




As reported by Ausgamers, reissuing the game in this way allows Warner Bros. to bypass the traditional two year period publishers have to wait before attempting to reclassify a game.

Whether it makes it through or not will be interesting - both the original console release and the PlayStation Vita version of Mortal Kombat was refused classification when it was submitted - although it still managed to acquire the highly coveted Fighting Game of the Year for 2011 by you, our incredibly handsome readers. Let's all cross our fingers and hope for the best this time around. Do you think Mortal Kombat will make it through under the new classification system or will it still be refused? Let us know in the comments below!

If the new ninja gaiden can, this can too you would think.

I liked the 1995 movie, but maybe that was because I was about 8 at the time. The sequel was goddamn hideous though.

I hope it makes it, if it doesn't the knew R18+ thing was a waste of time.

You know, as far as DLC rereleases go, this is a surprisingly great package.

If it doesn't make it through, looks like we still have legitimate **** to complain about.

Attempting? This is gonna happen, right?

Why am I feeling mild panic when a week ago I felt victorious?

This is by far the best mortal kombat in the series, so hopefully it does get through for those that didn't bother getting the game by other means to enjoy. X-Ray bone breaker specials and the fatalities in this one are the best. I would have to say that kenshi has the best fatality, that's fatality 2 I'm talking about...

Frisco - I loved the freaking heck out of the Mortal Kombat movie as a kid, my brother and I even thought Johnny Cash was cool, that's how stupid we were as kids. Watching it again these days is just non-stop shame and embarrassment mixed with laughter at the awfulness.

Johnny Cash is awesome.

Johnny Cage, however... Yeesh.

I remember Mortal Kombat 1 and the Street fighter movies being awesome. Saw street fighter again a couple of weekends ago. It's corny as, but I still enjoyed it, probably moreso for the nostalgia.
