Video game publisher Midway Games has announced they have shipped Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for Nintendo Wii to retail outlets in North America. This game is different from the earlier versions of Mortal Kombat as this one has a new control scheme, a completely overhauled Endurance Mode, and a new character, Female Khameleon.
Steve Allison, Chief Marketing Officer, Midway quotes, “Mortal Kombat: Armageddon brings Midway’s top-selling and award winning franchise to the Wii expanding the experience to a broader audience with its simple and intuitive gameplay. The new control scheme makes it easy for the novice player or non-gamer to pull off special moves and fatalities just like a master martial artist.”
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon takes full advantage of Wii’s unique Wii Remote and Nunchuk Controllers. Along with that, it also has support for Nintendo GameCube Controllers and Classic Controllers. The game features over 60 fighters from the entire Mortal Kombat universe.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for the Nintendo Wii is priced at $49.95 (approx. Rs. 2000). A few months ago, Midway has stated that they had shipped around a million copies of the game for the other platforms.
