On top of that, the inclusion of some legacy characters seems to have been done with little thought in terms of game balance. While these changes are certainly welcome and make Mortal Kombat Trilogy a great choice when it comes to playing a wide range of characters, it is considered non-canon. It also introduces a brand new character known as Chameleon. This version of the game is exclusive to home consoles and brings back every character from the first two games.
