PPR Presents Limelight: Mortal Kombat II for the 3DO

ith all of the hype around the Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection (and ting of controversy over its input lag issues) we thought that instead of going the more sensible, topical route, we would do something completely different and dumb instead—like streaming the port of Mortal Kombat II developed for the 3DO!

An independent developer by the name of “3DO HD” has been putting in 2+ years of work on a “retail-grade” version of the arcade classic for the 3DO, including new bespoke features that are original to the game like new stages and gameplay modes! George is again on the sticks, and he’s had a lot of good things to say about it, so we’re excite about the bloody good time in store for this entry of Limelight!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 8:15 PM PST on 11/10/2025 to watch this elseworlds-ass port of a killer game for niche console! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch channel, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!

QCF: Song of the Deep

s vast as the ocean is, nothing compares to the depth that it hides below; there’s this whole other world that exists under the fathoms, upon fathoms of the sea’s underbelly. So one would imagine just how well the explorative dynamics of a Metroidvania-direction would complement that sort of setting, especially with the caliber of a developer like Insomniac Games at the helm—and Gamestop publishing it themselves to boot.

In spite of this surefire recipe for success however, Song of the Deep only manages to live up to be somewhat endearing at best, and hopelessly mediocre at worst.

 Yeah, I know; the review is already going downhill from the start but my impression just simply couldn’t help from being deflated by the fact that the game’s biggest flaw happens to be one of the most important elements to a successful Metroidvania title.
