I would give a really technical answer, but its not needed. MK is utter shit, and I'm glad it never made it to this system.
I personally could care less about MK, but MK could've helped TG16 sales and thus brought out better titles out here.

I think it would've been kinda cool - between MK and Splatterhouse, it would've gotten a reputation as the gore-fiend's system.  :twisted:

Yeah, that would have been just f*cking great. The dirtballs with sleeveless shirts and wraparound shades already had a system for them; the Genesis (notice I didn't say Mega Drive). If you buy a used Genesis today there is still a chance you can smell their sweat and cigarette stank ground into the plastic.

Splatterhouse wasn't gory.  Didn't it have green blood?

I have little fondness for Mortal Kombat. I think the graphics were nice, for the most part, but the fighting engine and controls were both quite poor. I wouldn't have bought it for the Turbo, but I would have been glad to have seen it. It could have been a real boon for sales. The Mortal Kombat games sold fairly well on home consoles, at least for the first 2 versions, and the sales bump for a good port for the Turbo might have meant more translations of some of the great Japanese titles we missed. And since that late in the game it would have been TTI in charge instead of NEC at least we know they would have tried to pursue some of the better titles.
