Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article:

So, like, there’s this thing called the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. Apparently, it’s gonna make the vibe all nostalgic for us fighting game junkies. The official release date? Yeah, that’s still a mystery. But the excitement is real for what’s gonna be included. Some folks can’t wait to leap back into the fray—or maybe try these classics for the first time. Fun times ahead!

But hey, before you get too hyped, let’s talk about what’s actually in this Kollection. It’s like a journey back to those pixelated days until around 2003. And yeah, that’s cool and all, but Mortal Kombat: Deception? Sorry, it missed the party. That one was seriously ahead of its time, with all those cool new game modes. Crossing my fingers they give it some remastering love someday.

And, oh man, let me just say—Deception had this “Konquest Mode.” What a wild ride! You’re walking around as Shujinko, diving deep into the Mortal Kombat universe like never before. Earthrealm, Outworld, Edenia—you name it, you explore it. It had such layers, like a cake you didn’t know you were craving. I could ramble about this for days.

Anyway, about those fighting stages in Deception. They weren’t just arenas; they were booby-trapped playgrounds. You could whip out weapons and get all strategic, you know? It made the fights pretty unpredictable. Kept you on your toes—which is what we loved about it.

And get this, Deception even threw in mini-games. Chess Kombat and Puzzle Kombat. Who knew fighting games could get so… strategic?

Now, with the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, you might be bummed that Deception isn’t in there. Heck, it’s a bit of a letdown for me too. But maybe that means it gets its own spotlight later down the line? Fingers crossed, right?

So, what’s the takeaway here? Mortal Kombat’s going through a bit of a metamorphosis with Warner Bros keen on shining a light on their major franchises. More Mortal Kombat goodness could be coming down the line—and maybe, just maybe, a Deception remaster too. Whatever happens, I’m strapped in for the ride. Let’s see where this all leads!

Hope that messy blend of excitement and nostalgia hit just right!
