Mortal Kombat 1, the classic fighting game, has received a new update for the Nintendo Switch. The update, which was released in October 2023, includes a variety of changes and additions to the game. One of the most notable features of the update is the introduction of new fatalities, which are special finishing moves that players can use to defeat their opponents. These new fatalities are available as paid microtransactions, meaning players must pay additional money to access them.

The update also includes a balance patch, which adjusts the strengths and weaknesses of the game's characters to ensure fair play. A visual guide has been released to help players understand these changes. In addition to these gameplay changes, the update also includes a Halloween-themed event. This event features special Halloween-themed fatalities and other content.

The update has been met with mixed reactions from players. Some have praised the new content and balance changes, while others have criticized the decision to make the new fatalities paid microtransactions. Despite these criticisms, the update represents a significant addition to Mortal Kombat 1 and demonstrates the ongoing support for the game from its developers.
