In a final battle, Raiden fights Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, the two founders of the Deadly Alliance.
When it seems that Raiden is about to finish off the two enemies, they rebound and he is defeated.
With a zest for power and suspicion arising, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi then turn on each other, wanting Earthrealm for themselves.
When it appears that Quan Chi is victorious, the true ruler of Outworld returns, The Dragon King.
Quan Chi attacks The Dragon King, but is not powerful enough.
Shang Tsung, recovering from the battle, joins in, but they still cannot defeat The Dragon King.
Finally, putting thoughts of battle aside, Raiden awakens, and a new alliance forms between the three of them.
The combined powers of all three still cannot defeat The Dragon King.
Raiden sacrifices himself, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi to kill the Dragon King, but his sacrifice is in vain, and The Dragon King only becomes more powerful.
Deception has the standard Arcade mode, which takes you up a ladder of increasingly difficult enemies.
Introduced in last year's game, Konquest has returned, although it is much different.
Instead of following a set path, you are now free to roam multiple areas, like in an RPG where you may perform tasks for people in between learning new techniques.
Konquest mode is a third-person game, which can almost be called a game by itself.
There are two new game modes, Chess Kombat and Puzzle Kombat.
Chess Kombat is a standard game of chess, using fighters as pieces.
You move around like normal, and whenever two pieces meet, they jump into an arcade mode battle.
The winner of the fight takes the square.
Once the Leader (King) has been captured, the game is over.
Puzzle Kombat is a variation of Tetris and Dr.
You must rotate falling blocks, and pl
About Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo's GameCube (2001) used a compact optical disc format and was the company's first console with online capability, though it never matched the PS2's commercial success. GameCube discs are comparatively durable, making complete-in-box collecting approachable, while a handful of Japan-only and limited-release titles (some tied to promotions) are the platform's genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Mortal Kombat: Deception for Nintendo GameCube with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Mortal Kombat: Deception to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GCN release dates back to 2004.
