This is the only thing they could have done to get me interested in a freakin’ Mortal Kombat game. And I’m still on the bubble.

Again, when you combine universes its not usually a bad idea. There is a bunch of games that has done this and succeeded very well or came out decent. Kingdom Hearts, Xmen Vs. Capcom, Lego Starwars, Unreal Championship and Soul Caliber. I remember when Kingdom Hearts was first revealed, everybody was like WTF? When in the end it turn out to be one of Square’s biggest franchise. It’s a typical win-win situation if done correctly with the core game itself.

It always comes down to game play, this sort of stuff is just the exterior gimmick that never determines its quality of fun.

Dang… I should of just wrote a entry about this instead of all these comments…

Few thoughts on this….

This seems to be a growing trend with fighting games. Another example is Soul Caliber 4 with Darth Vader and Yoda. Is this their gimmick to appeal to a general video game audience? Are fighters not as big as they use to be?

I don’t know what it is… but it seems like the DC and MK universes don’t mix well. I thought that Marvel Vs. Capcom seem a great fit. Maybe because Marvel Vs. Capcom is in 2D or capcom characters are more lighter and more cartoony which makes it a better fit with comics. MK universe seems too dark, real, for any comic super hero mix.

At any rate this won’t make the game bad but it is a big consideration they need to put in when making this game.

I agree, isn’t fatalities suppose to be one of the back bone icon for MK?
