At CB2026 we're celebrating 15 years of NRS!
As part of ALL IN TOGETHER I'm hosting tourneys for all legacy NRS games, each one with a pot bonus supported by NetherRealm Studios! We're also hosting a History of NRS exhibition & online tourneys with TNS!

It's surreal seeing in these trailers Baraka do some stuff he got in MK11/MK1 with bone arm blades breaking off. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

We lost a legend today. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa @CHTOfficial played Shang Tsung in the 1995 Mortal Kombat film and sadly passed away at age 75. We had the privilege of his portrayal on the first MK film but also as an amazing voice actor in the Mortal Kombat 11 game.
Cary was one of a kind. He combined danger, swagger and athleticism to his roles and will always be remembered as the man who first brought Shang Tsung to life on film.
Rest in Peace. Your soul is eternal.

So glad I was able to work with Dan on projects at NRS. It was clear he really loved his craft. Growing up with Dan's music and SFX in games I played, to seeing him adding sounds directly to the things I was working on felt surreal. Not enough space here to praise him properly
After an incredible 37 year career, on October 1st, Dan Forden (1/4 of the original Mortal Kombat team) began his well earned retirement. I cannot overstate the impact Dan has made on pinball, videogames, NetherRealm & especially Mortal Kombat.
A significant part of the first Mortal Kombat's identity was in its tone, mystique and outrageous presentation.
Remember the first time you saw & heard an uppercut?
The explosive impact..
The announcer's wicked laugh..
The "DUN DUN DUN" before a fatality?
Remember the amazing music that defined the atmosphere of the fighting arenas?
That was all Dan.
You may also know him as the (now infamous) "Toasty Guy" but Dan's audio single handedly created a literal atmosphere that played a major role in the feel and vibe of Mortal Kombat.
Please watch and (more importantly) listen to this video. Anything sound familiar? Bring back any memories? I hope you'll join us in thanking Dan for his amazing contributions to MK, and games in general.
