“I Can Make a Better Face With Play-Doh”: Fans Enraged After Seeing Mortal Kombat 1 Characters’ Design on the Nintendo Switch and Calls It “A Bootleg PS2 Game”

Mortal Kombat 1 will be playable on all last-gen consoles as well as the Nintendo Switch. However, the decision to make it available on the Switch seems to be something that fans aren’t happy with. The initial images of MK1 on the Switch have drawn the ire of fans who have taken to social media to lambast the Switch version. Players expected to see some stunning character designs since some Hollywood stalwarts like Jean-Claude Van Damme set to feature in the upcoming release. And yet, as the images emerge for the Switch version, fans can’t help but be flabbergasted at their shocking quality.

The latest NetherRealm title is expected to have a similar impact on the community as its predecessors. However, looking at the Switch version, players can’t help but be a little sceptical about the whole idea of playing Mortal Kombat 1 on the console.

NetherRealm Studios’ latest entry to the fan-favorite fighting game franchise created a lot of buzz in the community. The last installment was received incredibly well. And Mortal Kombat 1 looks to carry on its legacy further. Multiple trailers have been released over the past few months and fans have been going nuts with how neat everything looks in the Outworld. While the game will be available on all consoles, it may not turn out to be the wisest decision by the devs. After so much work going into it, you’d think the game would look pristine on every platform, right? Wrong!
