Either that, or they think Japanese gamers are just more picky about historical accuracy in their re-releases. Apparently, someone at Microsoft thinks the Japanese have a higher tolerance for this stuff. Luckily (for real this time), there's a way around this bit of historical revisionism that's as simple as the Genesis Mortal Kombat's famous " blood code." As Insert Credit points out, simply setting your Xbox language to Japanese brings back the original Neo Geo classic in all its gory glory. This is especially odd considering the Metal Slug 3 port for the supposedly family-friendly Wii included what one reviewer called "arterial blood spraying everywhere." The Xbox Live Arcade version of Metal Slug 3 similarly has been toned down to include white "sweat" instead of red blood. Luckily we don't live in such dark times anymore, right? Not so. Thus, the game's signature red blood was replaced with white "sweat" for the console versions. Unfortunately, console makers were concerned with how such a gory game would be received in family living rooms. Mortal Kombat was a huge, bloody (and we do mean bloody) hit in the arcades.
