Sounds like it is just a BIG UGLY rumor ... I think that it is perfectly clear
that Nintendo doesn't want the true fatalities in the game (why do you think 
there is no code?  And there is for the 2 SEGA versions? HMMM??)

AND!  Controling Shang Tsung and Goro ... YEAH!  RIGHT!!!!  I doubt that will 
even happen on MK 2 (controling the bosses).  There are just too many things 
that they can do, and not enough joystick/button combos availale to do it 
(well, maybe ... but that is pushing it)

Nintendo ALSO doesn't like losing out in any manner to competition: selling
a bloody version might mean another 10-15% in revenue, and if you've
eliminated ALL points of contention, Nintendo's superior graphics and sound
would win over the consumer dollar.  Don't discount rumors where profit is
concerned.

Shang Tsung would be the easiest to control: allow the player to change
characters with button combos, else do one of his what, four moves?
Goro wouldn't be that hard to program either; he shoots you or grabs you.

Nope.  It won't happen.  Not in this century.

To make an "improved" Mortal Kombat is admitting just how pathetic
the home versions really are.

Nintendo won't allow blood without Acclain losing it's SNES licence.

However, perhaps things will change after MK2 arrives in the arcades
(an MK2 home version could fix all the problems of the original
without Acclaim having to admit how they screwed up).
