Mortal Kombat 1 Easter Eggs on Nintendo Switch

Here are our Easter Eggs for Mortal Kombat 1 on Nintendo Switch. The most trustworthy items get the most 'thumbs up' from our users and appear nearer the top!

Classic Fatalities

The game has plenty of new gory fatalities, but it brought back some classic fatalities for Scorpion's second fatality and Cyrax and Sektor’s Kameos. 

Scorpion’s fatality is originally from MK3: a wave of his clones starts spawning on-screen and surrounding your opponent until everything fades to black. The updated version of the fatality spawns three clones that assist with the fatality. Scorpion finishes the job with a kick that pops their opponent’s skeleton through their back.

Cyrax’s fatality involved a bunch of grenades spilling from the cyborg’s suit to blow up Earth, and Sketor’s has a compactor crush your opponent. Both of these fatalities have returned with updated visuals.

Wonder Woman

Ashrah hasn’t made a playable appearance since 2006, so fans are excited to see her return with a new design. Her voice belongs to none other than Susan Eisenberg, the voice of Wonder Woman across several different forms of media, including NeatherRealm’s Injustice series, and the development teams reference the Amazonian as much as they possibly can:

Ashrah’s sword turns into a glowing lasso, not unlike the Lasso of Truth, for one of her fatalities.

One of Johnny Cage’s intro lines for Ashrah is, “You are truly a wonder, woman.”

The Watchmen

Given NeatherRealm’s history with DC, it makes sense that they’d want to reference various characters as much as possible. This one involves Smoke’s customizable gear. One of his masks (Fogged In) is a direct nod to Rorschach’s character in The Watchmen, a grim graphic novel with a dark twist on a superhero team that received a film adaptation and HBO series. The mask has white cloth sewn inside as the covering and is marked with ink blotches. It’s missing a few details but does a great job mimicking Rorschach’s mask.
