Collector interest

Mortal Kombat II - Kyuukyoku Shinken, the Japanese version of Acclaim's second Mortal Kombat on Game Boy. Like the first entry, this local edition saw a narrow distribution on a market little keen on the franchise, making it a sought rarity. Its desirability lies in that regional scarcity, the reputation as the series' better portable conversion and demand from collectors of Japanese Mortal Kombat.
