About Mortal Kombat 4

Mortal Kombat 4 is 1 vs 1 fighting game, similar to the other Mortal Kombat games, but this is first game in series with 3D characters models. The player can choose from 15 different fighters at the start (and several unlockables later on). Many fighters from earlier games in the series make a comeback (like Scorpion, Sub Zero, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage etc.) while other new fighters join in, like Shinook (who is the main evil character in this game), Fujin, Jarek, and Kai. Goro returns as a boss.

Nintendo 64 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A faithful N64 conversion of the first 3D Mortal Kombat, with a trimmed polygon count.

This is the Nintendo 64 version of Mortal Kombat 4, ported by Eurocom and published by Midway and GT Interactive. It came out in North America in June 1998 and in the PAL regions in September. Eurocom spent roughly eight months on the port and had to lower the polygon count for the N64's more limited resources.

Next Generation (August 1998) noted that the series had finally gone 3D but otherwise played much like the arcade original, and said players who enjoyed the arcade game would not be disappointed.

What the press said at the time

Next Generation Issue 44

August 1998

3 out of 5 stars

“Thankfully though, the rest of this port is excellent. The character models are large and very detailed, and the combat is smooth (although a little hard to master with the N64 controller). This is a worthy MK sequel, but | still like 2 and 3 much more.”
— Game Informer, July 1998

“MK4 is an excellent port and, though it's average in general, it is still one of the best fighters for the console.”
— Next Generation, August 1998

“A tidy little fighter, and a pleasant surprise. Super-bloody and super amusing.”
— N64 Magazine, October 1998

“That criticism aside, you should still think of Mortal Kombat 4 as being a great beat-'em-up. It's the pinnacle of beat-'em-ups on the N64 right now”
— Total 64, 1998

Next Generation rated games from one star ("Bad: crucially flawed in design or application") to five ("Revolutionary"); three stars meant "Good: a solid and competitive example of an established game style."

Before you buy

Low fake risk. The US cart sits above the library median on price, and PAL copies cost a little more loose and about the same complete. The game saves to a Controller Pak, so budget for one; the Rumble Pak is optional. A complete copy costs several times the loose price, and sealed copies cost more again.
