I remember when I bought the Mortal Kombat reboot for the 360 a bunch of years ago and it came with a "manual." It was just a single page folded in half with health warnings, ratings information, and some crap about Xbox Live. At least it was in color... I remember when Mortal Kombat games used to come with nice thick manuals that gave you information and moves for all of the fighters.
