Those of you who missed it the first time around can rejoice as Mortal Kombat is set to arrive on the PlayStation Vita soon. And the best part about it? MK on PS Vita is virtually identical to its PS3 counterpart; meaning 60 frames-per-second fighting, graphical presentation, characters, stages, fatalities, moves, and—oh yeah—playable DLC characters right off the bat.

In addition to the available extra characters like Rain, Freddy Krueger, Kenshi, and Skarlet, the throwback MK1 and 2 ninja costumes for Sub-Zero, Reptile, Scorpion and other ninja characters will also be available as part of the Vita release. If you thought extra features ended there, you’ll be surprised to hear this:

NetherRealm Studios is including 15 additional PS Vita-exclusive costumes which include MK3 style garbs for the Ninja characters. As well, the developer is adding two more mini-games like the Test Your Balance (where players have to their characters balanced on a board using the sixaxis motion control) and a secret one that we’ll just have to find out about when we get the game.

And finally, according to Ed Boon, Mortal Kombat for the PS Vita will have an exclusive challenge tower in addition to the first one seen in MK (PS3). That’s 150 more excruciating challenges to conquer for high rewards.
