What makes it so cool, other than the intro screen that says MK Trilogy?

I bet Malenko is freaking out somewhere...

Trilogy was released for the Playstation, N64, Saturn, PC and Game.com.  It wasn't released as an arcade game!
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

It wouldn't surprise me if Midway designed the game for the arcade then backed out and decided to release it on consoles. Besides Midway was always know for their great business decisions.

I guess the question now is, are you gonna get the ROM DUMP and have it in MAME ? Or is it going to be the same as MM2 dude ?  :P

To be fair, I think a MKT board might be pushing the limits of what a midway board could do at the time.  Not so much on the processing power, but the memory.  I'm sure they could make it, but it might have been so expensive to produce that it just made sense to release it on the cheaper home consoles as a stop gap.  (MK4 was already in development at the time.)

Assuming that this is real, I have no doubt that we are going to see a lot more interesting midway prototype boards released.

You've got to remember, when midway was in business (even though they had left the arcades) there were legal concerns about releasing rare boards to the public.  Now that midway is gone, and I'm sure that WB didn't aquire rights to unfinished games, things could start slipping out.

STOP MOVING THE ---smurfing--- CAMERA AROUND LIKE YOU'RE IN CLOVERFIELD!

That is all. Please continue.

That is awesome! I need to figure out which MK1 board I have that came in the dynamo cab I'm currently restoring for MAME. Maybe it's a rare one! Probably not though with my luck. Lol

 A little, lol.  Hopefully if this is real (Man, I ---smurfing--- HATE April fool's day) that I can rom swap my UMK3 board =)

Also, they had MKII Raiden doing moves in the start up demo.

Im kinda leaning towards fake cause, well, why have a 10 minute long vid then stop and not show the player select screen? I have motion sickness and need to go throw up now. freekin shaky cams....

yeah if you take the mk3-u1xx.rom files and rename them to .rar. it extracts an mkt.avi. I don't have any codecs here so I don't know if there is actual video but it plays an audio clip of Aerosmith's eat the rich. Seems like a pretty elaborite hoax.

Because it's a hoax. In the description for the second video he has a link to the rooms on megaupload. But they aren't rooms. It's a multi part rar archive that he renamed. If you rename and extract it you get a video file.

Not funny... not even remotely funny. 

There are plenty of things you can joke about in this world.... cancer, genocide, racism... but you sure as hell don't pretend to have an unreleased mortal kombat game unless you want the entire mk community to hate you.

I'm disappointed that he spent all the time just for a April's fools joke. Dang, I knew it was too good to be true, it did looked too much like UMK3. It's not even funny, just stupid.
