Mortal Kombat ReviewThe smash-hit Mortal Kombat was everywhere in the early ’90s. Created by Ed Boon and John Tobias, the game was on every system, in every arcade, and sparking controversy with its levels of bloody violence. The Fatalities, in part, led to the creation of the ESRB video game rating system and ever since its release, the gaming industry just hasn’t been the same. In this episode, we looked back at both the game and the big screen Hollywood adaptation. Joining us was guest Quentin Danglade from the FTW Gaming podcast.

NXpress Nintendo Podcast #166: 'Detective Pikachu' and 'Mortal Kombat 11'

This week on the NXpress Nintendo Podcast we review Detective Pikachu, which marks the first time any Hollywood studio has attempted a live-action movie adaptation of the popular Pokemon gaming franchise. Is Detective Pikachu just another cash grab or is this movie more than just product placement? We answer this question while also trying desperately to make sense of the convoluted plot. Before that, we set aside some time to discuss Mortal Kombat 11 which Harry calls one of the greatest fighting games ever made and Rick claims features one of the best story modes in the genre. Finally, discuss Super Mario Maker 2, launching exclusively for the Nintendo Switch system on June 28. Thanks to a recent direct, we were given a deep dive into the game's new features, including new course parts and tools; a new single-player story mode with more than 100 Nintendo-created courses; new course themes; details about online course sharing*; options to create and play together with others; and information about a special offer for Nintendo Switch Online members. The presentation also covered the upcoming Super Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019 tournament, streaming live online the weekend before E3 from Los Angeles so there's a lot to cover. It's another jam-packed episode and somehow we managed to keep it under one hour. Enjoy!
