Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is a 1995 fighting game developed and published by Midway for arcades. Part of the Mortal Kombat series, it is a standalone update of 1995's earlier Mortal Kombat 3 with an altered gameplay system and some new features, as well as additional characters like the returning favorites Reptile, Kitana, Jade, and Scorpion, who were missing from Mortal Kombat 3. Several home port versions of the game were soon released after the arcade original. Although none were completely identical to the arcade version, the Nintendo DS port came closest. Other versions followed, with some released under different titles, such as Mortal Kombat Advance (2001) for the Game Boy Advance. An iOS version recreating the game using a 3D graphics engine was released by Electronic Arts in 2010. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was mostly well-received and has been considered a high point for the Mortal Kombat series. However, the iOS remake and some other home versions were received poorly. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was updated to include more content from previous games in the series as Mortal Kombat Trilogy in 1996. The 2011 compilation Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection includes an emulation of UMK3 as well as the first Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat II.
