Netherrealm have had their hands on a PlayStation Vita dev unit in some form since way back in September 2010, so it would make some sense to see the upcoming port of last year’s Mortal Kombat to Vita will be packed with bells and whistles. The port will arrive sometime after the Vita’s North American launch this February, with publisher Warner Bros. Interactive pinning a “spring 2012” launch window to the portable fighter.
Studio head Ed Boon has promises both “original game content” and “new features” for MK’s Vita iteration, though the announcement PR only teases the inclusion of “several” additions to be “revealed in the coming months.” But if Netherrealm follows its usual marketing plan, all of those details will be leaked much, much sooner.
Included in the Vita’s of the bloody brawler is the PS3’s exclusive character (God of War’s Kratos) as well as all four DLC characters (Freddy Krueger, Kenshi, Rain, Skarlet). So it’s kinda like that “Komplete Edition,” just shrunken down.
