Was Mortal Kombat Ever Popular in Japan?
Not quite! Mortal Kombat never really hit the same level of popularity in Japan as it did in the West. The Japanese market tends to favor their own fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter.

Mortal Kombat wasn't the big hit in Japan like it was everywhere else. Japanese gamers have a thing for local games that match their taste more.
Tried it, but nope, Japanese players just didn't vibe with Mortal Kombat the way Western players did. They love their Street Fighter for good reasons!
No, it wasn't. Japanese audiences generally prefer games with more refined aesthetics and less gore.
