Sounds SWEET! Thing is, I can't remember Primal Rage being made by Midway, though. But looks like we'll have the original MK3 instead of UMK3. Looks like a killer compilation, can't wait.

Pretty cool,I just ordered Midway Arcade Treasueres 1.MAT II is my next game to buy.

Awesome, Primal Rage is on there too. This is so cool!

If only they can add Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2 along with The Grid, all manufactured by Midway.
I'm going to buy the Midway Treasures for X-Box, PS2 loads too damn much.

I went over to Killer List Of Video Games and I looked up Pit Fighter.It dosent look too bad but it does look alot like NBA Jam.Primal Rage looks pretty good too I cant wait to play MK1.

Primal Rage, Arch Rivals, and the MK series? I'm sold...

When and where? And are these games cheaper then most? Usually see these game for like 30 or 20 bucks?

primal rage and the MK serie rules!!!

just hope that there will have a midway arcade treasure 3 with MK4 in the near future...

Just a question, will it come out for the PS2?

Alright Primal Rage! Total Carnage is also going to be included. I hope NBA Jam will be in MAT2 as well.

Why the hell couldn't they have just added MK4 and made veryone happy?

Im happy with MK1 to 3. I woulda liked UMK3 also, but its still gonna kik ass. I would expect MK4 to come out on the next Midway compilation....

100% agree with you

A proper home-release of MK4 have never been released and I hate to wait...

Zero_Beats.. .Rare made KI1&2.. .not Midway.. .

According to allgame.com Primal Rage was developed by Atari. Anyhow , GameSpot seems be a little bit more detailed on this : http://www.gamespot.com/arcade/action/primalrage/techinfo.html
(if you can call that detailed)

Killer Instinct 1 and 2 were indeed made by Rare but Midway manufactured the arcade machines making it possible for them to exist in the arcades.

So it's very possible for them to port them to MAT2 since they were responsible for the arcade machines.

Also Primal Rage was made by Atari which is now owned now by Midway. The Atari that is out now was known as Infogrames which is far different from the original Atari.

Original Atari= Midway now
Infogrames= New Atari

Anything Midway manufactures they can put onto MAT2 I think.

Sabazi, if you're thinking I said desigined, thats not what I was saying. The arcade KI were manufactured under the liscence of Midway.

That doesn't matter. Midway manufactured the hardware and cabinet, but they had nothing to do with the making of the actual game, which means they have no rights whatsoever to that game. Nintendo and RARE were the only owners, which ownership is now fully under RARE, so Midway cannot use Killer Instinct since it's in no way their game. They didn't create the characters, music, backgrounds, ect, so they have no ability to use them without RARE's permission.

Look at the boxes for KI on SNES and KI Gold on N64. Notice that Midway's logo doesn't exist on either box, or in the instruction book, or in the game itself when it's playing? It's because Midway had no part of the making the game.

Funny enough, I think by keeping MK4 off, they did make people happy.

I have the box and instruction manual for Snes. I always knew about the console versions, but I always saw and heard about the Midway liscence on the arcade.
Theres an arcade KI 2 blocks away from me.
I should guess that we'll go with your answer. My mistake, lets forgive and forget.

Then how did Primal Rage get added to the list when the arcade cabinet and hardware was all made by Atari?

Midway own's it or something I'm guessing?
-----------------

I too also have an arcade with KI 1 and 2 in it and they both have Midway on it. Even www.klov.com shows it.

So I'm guessing if it's owned all by Rare that the Xbox version could atleast get them since Mircosoft owns Rare now. And then maybe the Ps2 version could get two exclusive games.

But imo, since Midway was responsible for KI 1 and 2 being brought out in the arcades it should be able to port atleast the arcade versions on this MAT2.

At first, my attention was primarily on the classic three MK games, but now, I find out they've got more games that I like on there, as well. Pit Fighter's cool. I remember seeing that game in the lobby of almost every movie theater YEARS ago. I also liked Rampage World Tour and Primal Rage! This compilation game's gonna be bad-ass, that's all I have to say!

umk3 and mk4 for mat3

It is true what most people are saying here. Midway has nothing to do with the KI games. KI was created by rare period. IN case you didn't know rare is rumored to make KI3 on Xbox. Again look on the KI box or when you start uo KI 1 or 2. You will see nothing but NIntendo and Rare credits. Back to the thread I am amped that Midway arcade treasures is coming with Primal Rage, I've always wanted to try it at arcades and makes me feel back the primal rage 2 was mid way to being finsihed and the plug was pulled. As a MK fan I am so happy that a arcade perfect port of my fav 2-D MK is coming(MOrtal Kombat 3). Too bad Midway arcade treasures isn't coming to gamecube, well I guess I get it for PS2 :.\

Everyone go here and look up Killer Instinct 1 and 2.

www.klov.com

I know Midway had nothing to do with the console versions of KI 1 and 2 but it's a different story for the arcade ones.

Midway is cleary the manufacturer for the original/arcade versions of KI 1 and 2. Since they would be porting nothing but the arcade versions then I don't see why they couldn't do it.
Cause without them, who knows how the arcade versions would have turned out. They used Midway's hardware which was always good for fighting games.

If that is not helping Rare enough them I dunno what is. Atleast the Xbox version could get both of them since Microsoft owns Rare now.
