I did see that article in Nintendo Power.  However, people on
the Internet who have played pre-release versions report
that blood will be turned to sweat (also found in magazines) and
the three fatalities are changed to the worst possible thing.
sub Zero freezes his opponent then punches him...  Aren't fatalities
supposed to be...fatal?!?  Even if only 3 moves are changed, I'm still
against the censorship of games.  Its much easier for a kid to put a 
quarter in a machine than to buy a $50-70 game.  Nintendo is worried that
if a violent game is produced parents will stop buying Nintendo games
(which really make a dent in their profits anyway).

Suprising enough, many parents now give the children the money to buy the games
, and enough prodding by children, and the parents buy the game anyway.  It's
not the parents that select the games, it's the kids....unless it is a suprize
gift, like b-day or Christmas.

 If they were going to do that sort of fatality for Sub Zero it should be
something like the scene in Terminator 2 where the solid frozen Terminator
is shot and shatters.
