Exclusive GBA title features some interesting linking opportunities.

Midway Games announced that Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition, the Game Boy Advance sequel to Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, has shipped.

Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition, is an exclusive for the Game Boy Advance, and features multi-link play and similar gameplay that has made Mortal Kombat popular for its brutality and gore. New bloodthirsty partnership opportunities for the Game Boy Advance will allow up to four players to battle in tournaments and tag team play.

Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition includes a gambling system where players can place in-game bets on the outcome of linked battles, mini-games and other secret fighting challenges. In addition, two forms of “kurrency” will be available – red and gold – to wager with combatants. With red “koins” (new and exclusive to Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition), players can also unlock or purchase hidden characters, backgrounds and other features in the “krypt.” New dynamic battlefield environments such as the Lost Tomb, Wu Shi Academy, Sarna Ruins, Molochs Lair, as well as other popular backgrounds from the original Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance have also been added.
