For all I know this is common knowledge here. I'm speaking on the phone with my Old man who's just as much a geek as a 12 year old boy with his gaming consoles. he tells me that there's a mini article in a book on the Guinness book of records games of 2011/12 on a beat em up game where supposedly a character and the game itself were inspired by Prince and Purple Rain...naturally I set out to find what this is all about and this is what I find.

I think you can say the writing was on the wall with this:

I can't see anything on the soundtrack but also found this....

The only thing I wonder is if there's a suit which actually looks like Prince, but Hey Ho!

There's an extra bit of information your brain didn't need to have stored in it

What you can't see in this picture is there is no butt in his pants so this really IS a Prince inspired outfit

Kinda funny, in a way.

Purple Rain.

Rain has always been one of my favorite MK characters. If I recall, his introduction was in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 which I remember buying when it came out.
