Though Mortal Kombat 1 has been viewed as a success with generally favorable reviews since its release, one platform it’s on has been anything but pleasant: Nintendo Switch.
The game’s version on the hybrid console has been panned across the internet due to various bugs, poor visual quality, poorly developed fatalities, and more. And with Mortal Kombat 1 costing the same $70 price on the Switch as it does on every other platform, fans have been furious about paying that much for what clearly feels like a broken game.
“[It will] absolutely be getting an update,” Ed Boon said in an interview with the BBC. “And a number of the concerns of the issues that had come up will absolutely be addressed. It would have been ideal for us to have released the version that we absolutely wanted. But anything that we’re finding a problem with is on our list and is going to be fixed. Anything that we see that is not acceptable will absolutely be addressed.”
Boon added that the team at NetherRealm is dedicated to supporting the game on the Switch, “like we did with Mortal Kombat 11”.

How? This port should never had existed! Unreal 4 can’t run on a Switch and MK 11 was a sign it probably couldn’t work after that game looked awful! Avoid that port all together!
NRS didn’t make the Switch version so how will they fix it? Saber is busy right now so this makes no sense. They could have released this on last gen instead of a Switch port. Ed Boon should be fired for all this stupidity not to mention how unprofessional he is.
This game shouldn’t have been on Switch but the bigger question is why wasn’t this game on XB1 and PS4? This shows how dumb they are. Ed is such a liar and con man. They skipped Injustice 3 to make this but didn’t upgrade to Unreal 5 like Tekken. If they went to 4 instead they could have released it on last gen this isn’t a real next gen game. They better not go back to Injustice after making this trash too much time has passed.
