Surprised to see people assume there would be no blood in MKLK on Switch because there was no blood shown in the Nintendo Direct segment.

Removing content from games that we are (checks notes) historically preserving for future generations is NOT how @digitaleclipse.bsky.social rolls.

Digital Eclipse @digitaleclipse.bsky.social · Sep 12

Blood has been an option in MK since the arcade original; operators could flip a dipswitch to enable/disable the red stuff based on their location's needs.

We are retaining those options across all platforms for #MKLK. It's all part of the preservation, so blood or no blood remains your call!

Fastest and smoothest pre-order process this year. Getting a free* Orange Pro by switching to T-Mobile.

Oddly the delivery date is showing Sept 25th. Is it that sold out already??

I think I found the permits Apple got for filming at the Chicago Michigan Ave Store. Looks like it was Aug 10-13th overnights.

Haha I wrote up those bugs at launch and got them sent to my friend who worked on the port. It was a problem with the mastering if I remember right, damaged the data on a lot of Midway’s releases. I still have both copies haha!
