Legacy Kollection: every game and version included

The full list of games and versions in Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, and which build of each is worth playing.

By Game Guide PortSource reviewed: Oct 13, 2026

Applies to: All 23 versions in Legacy Kollection

Quick answer

Legacy Kollection collects 11 titles in 23 playable versions, released between 1992 and 2003. The list runs from the original Mortal Kombat to Mortal Kombat 4 and includes two spin-offs, Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Special Forces. Most titles appear in several home versions, so the collection holds both the arcade and SNES builds of Mortal Kombat II, for example, and the arcade build of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 includes the rare WaveNet version.

What is in it

Legacy Kollection is a compilation, not a remaster. It collects eleven Mortal Kombat titles originally released between 1992 and 2003, and it does so across twenty-three playable versions, because most of those titles shipped in several different home ports that were never identical to each other.

That distinction matters more than it sounds. The arcade build of Mortal Kombat II and the SNES build of Mortal Kombat II are different games with different rosters, different balancing and different secrets. The collection keeps those versions separate rather than collapsing them into one modernised edition.

The full list

Every title and version in Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
Title	Versions included	Original year
Mortal Kombat	Arcade · SNES (Super Nintendo) · Genesis · Game Boy · Game Gear	1992
Mortal Kombat II	Arcade · SNES · Genesis · Game Boy · 32X	1993
Mortal Kombat 3	Arcade · SNES · Genesis	1995
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3	Arcade (including the WaveNet version) · SNES	1995
Mortal Kombat Trilogy	PlayStation	1996
MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero	PlayStation	1997
Mortal Kombat 4	Arcade	1997
MK: Special Forces	PlayStation	2000
Mortal Kombat Advance	Game Boy Advance	2001
MK: Deadly Alliance	Game Boy Advance	2002
MK: Tournament Edition	Game Boy Advance	2003

One item on that list was effectively unavailable before this release. The WaveNet build of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is an arcade revision that was produced for online play at the time and never saw a normal home release, and the collection is the first official way most people have had to play it.

Why versions differ

Because the collection preserves original versions, the version you pick changes the answers to almost every question you might ask about a game.

What differs between versions of the same title
Area	Why it differs
Roster	Home ports sometimes had to drop a character or add one that the arcade build never had. The SNES and Genesis ports of Mortal Kombat in particular diverged from the arcade version.
Secrets and unlock conditions	A secret fight in one port may be triggered differently, or not exist, in another. The hidden characters page names the version alongside each fighter for this reason.
Finishing moves	Move inputs and the finishing-move types a version recognises are not identical between ports.
Online support	Which versions can be played online is a developer decision and does not cover every entry.
Audio and content	Some ports had censored or altered content, and the arcade originals did not.

Read version-specific advice carefully. A guide written for the arcade build of a game will not always apply to the SNES build sitting next to it in the same menu. When a guide does not say which version it means, treat the detail as unconfirmed for the version you are playing.

Which run online

Digital Eclipse’s own wording is that the majority of the games in the collection support online play. That phrasing matters, because it is common to see the collection described as putting every included game online, and that overstates it.

Online play was not part of the launch build. It arrived through the December 2025 Online Arcade update and the April 2026 Krossplay update.
Online 2v2 is narrower still, and covers four games only: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on arcade and SNES, Mortal Kombat Trilogy on PlayStation, and Mortal Kombat 4 on arcade.
The full online picture, including how to switch crossplay on, is on the online play page.

The version-level detail is also the reason the achievement list in the collection names a specific version for each completion, rather than naming the title alone.

Digital Eclipse — Legacy Kollection game page — used for the feature list and the statement that the majority of games support online play.
Atari — Legacy Kollection product page — used to cross-check the contents list and the publisher wording.
Digital Eclipse — “Krossplay is here” — used for which four games support online 2v2.

The contents table was assembled from the official storefront wording and cross-checked against the publisher’s product page. Where the version set is described differently in different places, this page follows the storefront and publisher wording. Console and handheld port differences are described at the level the official sources support; specific move lists and balance changes for individual ports are not reproduced here.
