yep that's whats happening.

So yeah, they should just release another 2-D Mortal Kombat, make it better and bam you have instant money for 3/4ths the cost of a high end game such as MK vs. Dc.

yha i dont like the new mk's
i perfer the older ones like 1-umk3 (ultimate mortal kombat 3) and trioligy

I thought this happened a long time ago

Maybe something good came from the economic recession after all

[Rombie]

Rob, I'm pretty sure Primal Rage was Atari's. Anyway, the company has a lot of classics and they've made good efforts in recent times. Sans MK that is... old fans have finally given up on the series.

Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot because I looked at my copy of Midway's Arcade Treasures 2 before making my post and saw it on the cover.

Mr. Spencer - Unfortunately nothing can make up for BMX XXX, Shadowman, and numerous other ACK-LAME balls ups in the company's final years. Plus the number of crappy movie-licence titles they produced during the 1990's.

MK Trilogy pwned. Doesn't hold up very well today though.

Oh it does, (the core Ultimate MK3 engine that is). Both UMK3 and MKII had combos discovered until a year ago.

Sweet Jesus, BMX XXX. Your words have reminded me of that travesty. However, I did a little research and found out that Psychic Force was more or less developed by Taito. Acclaim were just the publishers for the western market, the PAL and US regions.

That's a shred of good news, but still. BMX XXX? Christ alive.

BMX XXX? I heard about that

trilogy is f'ing awesome i perfer it over the newer bull shit

[The Dude]

I think the series went stale after MK2 to be honest.

[nemesis_lover]

MK Trilogy owned, I still play that game when mates are around, it's a classic. MKA had a huge list of fighters, which implemented hours of gameplay and was a fitting end to the MK games. Although they produced MK v.s DC, I don't look at this game as a true MK title. If Midway do stay in bussiness, I'd love to see a title, everyone would want....Mortal Kombat v.s Street Fighter, need I write more.

Nah, the MK series jumped the shark with MK4 and the latter 3D incarnations were utter jokes made playable only by their extras (the Shenmue-esque quest mode in MKD was pretty good).

im on the mk side if they make mk vs sf
