Mortal Kombat II (NES) Playthrough

A playthrough of JY Company's 1994 unlicensed fighting game for the NES, Mortal Kombat II.

Played as Liu Kang on the hard difficulty level.

Mortal Kombat II (真人快打II) for the NES is a bootleg "port" of Midway's original Mortal Kombat. It was one of several NES fighting games created by Hummer Team, and it runs on a modified version of the engine that powered Kart Fighter (   • Kart Fighter (NES) Playthrough - NintendoC...  ) and their Street Fighter II knock-off (   • Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (NES)...  ). It was also their first game to be released under the JY label.

As far as Taiwanese 8-bit pirated versions of arcade fighting games go, Mortal Kombat II isn't bad. It looks nice. Though they all look like they were ripped from the Game Boy game, the sprites are all recognizable and animate reasonably well, and the simplified control scheme is decent. It's missing blood and the fatality moves, and it doesn't play as well as Hummer's Street Fighter II, but it's better than you might expect from something like this.

The best part has to be bonsai Goro, though. He has been shrunk down to the size of the rest of the cast, and it looks completely ridiculous.
