In the 90s there were loads of MK-wannabe games that featured fatalities and gore, granted it was to varying degrees of success, but still there was more than one way to get get your fix of murder and disembowelment in a fighting game context. And I know beat 'em ups are hardly the mainstream genre they were back then, but are there not any other ultra-violent current-generation fighting games out there with fatalities as well?
I freely admit that I'm shallow and beyond the glorious lore, the big appeal of MK for me is the visceral and grotesque gore, yet everything else out there seems to be cartoony or anime styled? Lists like this don't seem to suggest there's another game like Mortal Kombat out there thats currently tearing out spinal chords, lungs and brain-matter at the end of a match:
