Cue the theme from "Mortal Combat," please.

Back in my college town of Chicago, the good people at Midway are working on some exclusive up-and-coming stuff for the Nintendo systems. Most notably? Some new "Mortal Kombat" games.

- Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (Wii) - Just released for the Wii, Armageddon now features new controls and a new Endurance mode. It still features the largest MK roster.
- Ultimate Mortal Kombat (DS) - Coming in November, this one combines Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Puzzle Kombat. Also, this one will feature Wi-Fi capabilities that will allow you to fight people via the Internet.

There are only a few more games announced by Midway...


Okay, okay! I'll hurry along.
- Cruis'n (Wii) - The classic racing arcade game comes to the Wii in November.
- Game Party (Wii) - Looks like another multiplayer sports/games staple for the Wii that will enable the full capabilities of the remote. Also to be released in November.
- Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: Imagination Invaders (DS) - The Nickelodeon show (that I admittedly enjoy a lot) comes to the DS. Join Bloo and the gang for some crazy handheld capers in November.
- The Bee Game (DS, GBA) - It's a game about bees, coming in November.
- Touchmaster (DS) - Solitaire! Mah Jongg! Other games! July!
KO!Actually, my name's Evan. But that's okay. At least I got a "fatality". I guess.
