Basically, Mortal Kombat's graphic violence led to congressional hearings which then resulted in the establishment of the ESRB rating system to regulate video game content.

Hot take: It didn't go to the Supreme Court. People just freaked out over the awesome fatalities.

I lived through the '90s and remember that Mortal Kombat's violence was totally groundbreaking. Its controversy led to government scrutiny and the creation of the ESRB ratings.

Mortal Kombat never went to the Supreme Court itself, but its violent content sparked legal battles and led to the creation of the ESRB ratings system.
