PSX Noob and Goro Codes
The PSX's Noob and Goro Codes have been found. Way to go VGMaster for the Noob Code, MKX for the Goro Code and Krisstoff for confirming them. You have beat the Game first with all of the characters. So you might want a memory card if you don't have one. Here they are:

Goro: At the select screen, select the "hidden" option with the run button, and keep holding run. Move up to Shinnok and, while still holding run, select Shinnok with the Block button. Keep holding BL and RN until the round starts, and you are Goro.

Noob Saibot: Start a two player game. Do the Noob Code (012-012). Win with either player, make sure to continue. Now, do like you did with Goro. Select hidden with the Run button, hold it, go up to Reiko, then press and hold Block along with Run.

Ed Boon Chat News
I was at the Ed Boon chat and I'm gonna post all the good news that he said. I updated MK5 Section with this info and I added a new logo.

    -We haven't seen the Last of Shang Tsung and Noob Saibot
    -Triple Camera Shots (i.e. Sonya's Kiss of Death) will probably return in MK5
    -Zues 2 is 4 times as big the first one which will make it alot realer
    -Sub-Zero's Sister might be in an Future MK Game
I talked to Dave Michicich and here is what he told me:
    
-Kitana isn't in MK4
     -Goro will probably be in MK5
     -Other possible MK5 characters include Noob Saibot, Baraka, and Smoke
     -Dave wanted Baraka in MK4

Ed Boon Updates
He added an MK E3 Section with more pictures from the E3 show that was held in Atlanta. He also added the windows logo so we know it will come out for the PC very soon.

Site Updates
I now have a WebRings Section but I only have one WebRing as of now. I have added some moves and kodes in the MK Classics Section on UMK3 and MK1. Thanks to my staff member, Çarnage. Mortal Kombat II moves, codes and , stories are coming soon.   My MK Chat page is now up and better than before, I hope. I have updated the MK4 section with fixed moves the rest of the moves are confirmed.

N64 Information
I have just rented MK4 for the N64 and I am going to tell you what I found. Here goes:

            -Goro has a breaker move where he puts you above his shoulders and beaks your back then throws you down.
            -When you are frozen you are in your original costume
            -In Big Head Mode the opponent's head stays big for part of the Fatality
            -Goro and Noob have no endings
            -Goro doesn't have any Fatalities
           -Easy Fatalities work in any stage but if its not an actual pit it will do the one in Goro's Lair

Interactive MK4 Guide
If you haven't already downloaded The Interactive MK4 Guide then you don't know what you are missing out. You have to use code to access some secrets like characters. Nice Job Nitro Interactive.  Is really cool here are some of the codes:

For all of these right click on the Dragon's eye at the main menu. A secret menu will come up with 3 slots. Rotate them acording to these.
Jax:  ? - Raiden - Jarek.
Reiko: Liu Kang - Reptile - Quan Chi
Goro: Fujin -  Reptile  - ?
You should hear "Excellent" if you've done it correctly

Noob's Prison Stage: D - B - B - HK

Alternate Costume Breakdown Chart
I have added a Alternate Costume Breakdown Chart in the Mortal Kombat 4 Moves Section. It is really cool. Huge thanks to Tom "Draxxon" Romanotto.

Ed Boon Updates
Ed Boon has updated his Noob.com website with scans from the new issue of PSM Magazine, in his MK4 Home Versions Preview section. With Sub-Zero on the cover, it includes a 6 page guide to MK4, a "Kreate a Warrior Kontest", and an interview with the Ed Boon and Dave Michicich.

Goro's Ground Stomp Found
Goro's Ground Stomp has been found thanks to Trash.  It takes off 25% of his opponents life. I have added to my Moves Section.

Goro's Ground Stomp: B - F - D - D - HK

More Information on Easy Fatalities
In order to use the three "Fatalities" options in the Cheat Menu, enable one of them ("Fatalities I", "Fatalities II", or "Level Fatalities"). After the "Finish Him/Her" announcement when you have won a match, hold Down and hit High Punch Anywhere in the stage, your character will automatically perform his/her 1st or 2nd Fatality depending on which of the 2 you have enabled (if you enable both I and II, it will do Fatality 1). We are not sure at this time on how to perform the easy fatality for stage fatalities. Using this method, we have also discovered that Noob Saibot's 1st Fatality is Johnny Cage's Torso Rip (the same Fatality Noob had in the preliminary revisions) and his 2nd is Sub-Zero's Freeze Uppercut. I have added this to my Kodes Section.

Mortal Komat Moves Page
I have finished the Mortal Kombat 4 Moves Page since MK4 is out for rental in some Blockbusters so you can refer to it.

Noob Pit Fatal Discovered
IceOut has discovered Noob Saibot's Goro's Lair Pit Fatality! Thanks to MKX for posting it! The movements are as follows:

Noob Saibot's Goro's Pit Fatality : F - D - F - HK

Lots More on MK4 for the N64
Movements metods have been shortened thanks to MK Nightmares. You should only turn one of the fatality options on at a time and then to do the automatic fatalities. For the pit fatalites you must be close! The automatic fatalities do not seem to work when playing as Goro! Also reported is a stage fatality for the snow stage, and a second fatality for Noob Saibot where he does Sub-Zero's Ice Blast.

Automatic Fatalities: D - D - D - HP(from anywhere on screen)

More Moves Found
More moves for MK4 for the N64 have been found! Goro has a regular uppercut and then he also has a Fierce Uppercut that will send the character into backflips. Another of Goro's Special moves, his Big Kick which sends the opponent flying across the screen! Also, Tanya can now throw her Boomerang by pressing LP and it will now come back to her! While playing as her there was a glitch where she kept pulling out Sub-Zero's Ice Wand instead of her boomerang, and no alternate costume or any kombat kodes were being used at the time!

Goro:
Feirce Uppercut: D - D - HP
Big Kick: B - B - HK

Official MK4 Site Updated
The Official MK4 Website has been updated once again. They just have a small update confirming what we already know to be true about the Nintendo64 version of MK4 being available for rental.

MK4 Secrets Found
Mortal Kombat Nightmares has discoverd a few more secrets in the N64 version of MK4! We also have found an easier way to get the alternate costumes! You can now rotate each character by simply holding Start and pressing any action button! The number of times you rotate dictates that costume you get! We also confirmed how to do each character's first fatality with the automatic fatalities on in the secret options menu! You simply press D, D, D, BL+HP and they will perform their first fatality!

Kombat Kode Correction
I have discovered that the Red Rain Kombat Kode (020 020) which turned the rain into blood at the rain stage in the arcade version does have Red Rain first it brings you to the Wind World Stage then after a little while it starts rain blood.

Friday June 12, 1998

New Kombat Kodes Found
IceOut and TRMK have discovered two new Kombat Kodes for the Nintendo64 version of Mortal Kombat 4 which is currently for rental at Blockbuster Video! The kodes are for Big Head Mode and to play in the new Snow Stage. Here they are:

Big Head Mode - 321 321
Snow Stage - 313 313

More Information on Kombat Kodes
Noob Saibot Mode Kombat Kode (012-012) still does absolutely nothing, and the Red Rain Kombat Kode (020-020) which turned the rain into blood at the rain stage in the arcade version, no longer has any effect at all.

More Information on Noob Saibot and Goro Codes
First you must open the cheat menu before being able to choose Goro or Noob Saibot. At the options menu, hold BL+RN on Controller 1 (it can only be done with Controller 1), while highlighting the Continue option, until the Cheat Menu appears. While you're holding the buttons, you will first hear Jarek's laugh, then after a few more seconds, the menu will appear and you'll hear "Outstanding". Then at the select screen, choose Hidden, and then choose Reiko using BL+RN for Noob Saibot or Shinnok with BL+RN for Goro. They can only be played in 2 Player games.

MK4 Available at Blockbuster and MK4.com Updates
The Official MK4 Page updated with news that you can pre-order MK4 from EbWorld and receive the promotional comic   book. Not only that, it also says that the word circulating around the Midway offices is that MK4 for N64 may be available for rental today! It would be a special promotional rental and was released for rent at Blockbuster as soon as today!
