CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 2003-- Midway Games Inc., a leading software industry publisher and developer, announced today that Mortal Kombat®: Tournament Edition, the Game Boy® Advance sequel to Mortal Kombat®: Deadly Alliance(TM), has shipped.
From Midway's best-selling Mortal Kombat franchise comes Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition, an exclusive videogame for the Game Boy Advance, delivering multi-link play and "karnage" that offers Mortal Kombat's infamous brutality. New bloodthirsty partnership opportunities for the Game Boy Advance will allow up to four players to battle in tournaments and tag team play.
"Game Boy Advance owners will be able to experience the trademark Mortal Kombat brutality in an entirely new way with multi-linked tournament play," said Helene Sheeler, vice president of marketing, Midway.
Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition includes a gambling system where players can place in-game bets on the outcome of linked battles, mini-games and other secret fighting challenges. In addition, two forms of "kurrency" will be available -- red and gold -- to wager with combatants. With red "koins" (new and exclusive to Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition), players can also unlock or purchase hidden characters, backgrounds and other features in the "krypt." New dynamic battlefield environments such as the Lost Tomb, Wu Shi Academy, Sarna Ruins, and Molochs Lair, as well as other popular backgrounds from the original Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, have also been added.
