This video shows some more gameplay and a Fatality demonstration.
The Vita port also has some new features that the console ports do not have.
One such feature enables blood to splatter on the screen during fights and one must slide one's fingers across the touchscreen to clean off the mess.
There are also new challenges on the Challenge Tower that make use of the device's touchscreen.
Mortal Kombat co-creator and NetherRealm creative director Ed Boon talked about the Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition, its iOS project Batman: Arkham City Lockdown, and how the studio is seeking to branch out in 2012.
GameSpot: The Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition is pretty diverse. It has a movie, CD, downloadable characters, and more. How did you go about deciding what to include in the pack, and why did you include what you did?

Twitter conversation between Ed Boon (co-creator of Mortal Kombat) and Sid Shuman (PlayStation social media/community guy regarding D.I.C.E 2012 read below.
Quote:
Mr. Boon may have just confirmed what all fighting gamers were hoping for: a sequel to 2011′s Mortal Kombat reboot.

Things like “Where are we headed? What is the future?”, among many other questions all get answered. Now, while this doesn’t confirm the game will have any information to share with the public, it certainly shows that a new Mortal Kombat is still on the mind of NetherRealm Studios
