Mortal Kombat 11 Switch Launch Trailer Shows Fights On The Go
<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/mortal-kombat-11/">Mortal Kombat 11</a> is releasing on the Nintendo Switch, marking the first MK game on a Nintendo system since the series reboot. The Switch version is a little less beautiful than its contemporaries, but what it lacks in visual fidelity it makes up for with portability. So it's no surprise that the official Switch trailer emphasizes the on-the-go aspect.</p><p>The trailer (above) shows a piece of a cutscene before pulling back and showing gameplay on a smaller Switch window playing footage of the fights. It's difficult to see due to the smaller screen size but the fights are a little low-fi compared to what you may have gotten accustomed to seeing in other gameplay trailers and Kombat Kasts.</p><p>We knew that the Switch version would lose some graphical bells and whistles, though.
