Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection (XBLA, PSN and PC)

[jfrost]

The MK9 stick looks much nicer and is the same price. Is there any reason to buy this one? To look goofier?

It comes with the game.

Oh, well, there's that then.

IF it comes with the game. I've only seen one site that said that, the description for the stick on GameStop doesn't even say if it comes with the game.

"To help players create an arcade experience at home, GameStop will exclusively offer a limited run of the new Mortal Kombat™ Klassic Fight Sticks designed and manufactured by Performance Designed Products (“PDP”), creators of the sold-out Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition Fight Sticks, bundled with a code to download Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection. Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the Mortal Kombat™ Klassic Fight Sticks are available for pre-order now for $129.99 at www.gamestop.com.

From the press release.

MK9 switched the buttons around, so would it even work? Or is it just switched on the control pad, but the same on the stick?

I think they're the same on the stick. I mean, it was build to be compatible with previous games, since it even has the straying run button (I read that MK9 doesn't have a run button).

The buttons are the same. MK9 uses only 5 buttons. The 6th will be for tag on the MK9 stick, but it's the same place as run.

So the Kollection and Tournament Edition sticks should be interchangeable between games then?

Ahh, so it IS a GameStop exclusive. I guess I better order one then. But I'm still questioning why it doesn't say it's exclusive to GameStop on their site.

Personally, I like the original art more than the MK9 stick.

Does it have a secret compartment like the MK9 stick?

I would imagine so. I have the MK9 stick and when I play MK2 on PSN I don't have to change the button configuration.

Awesome! That's some good info right there.

And yeah... the limited edition MK1 stick looks virtually identical to the MK9 stick and is made by the same company (PDP), so I'm thinking it will also have the storage compartment underneath. But I would like some confirmation on that, as well.

GameStop needs to update their page for the stick. Just a small pic on there and broken video. I wanna see high res pics of multiple angles! Doesn't even say that the stick comes with a code to download the game, or that it's a GS exclusive.
