A while ago the team said they were taking a break from MK... so what if the next game isn't MK?

Things I Would <3:

-Shaolin Monks 2, or another platformer, preferably with an out-of-the-box choice of lead characters. A cross between MKSM and Konquest, maybe.
-A spin-off fighter that takes place alongside MK with everyone in the old cast that got left out. A lot of the post-2D era characters' stories and background took place more or less independantly of the "main" storyline, so it'd make sense to give them all something to do to explain what they're up to in the new timeline. You've got enough people left over for a whole new roster, and it'll give all those other characters that a great deal of people either disregarded or never had a chance to experience their own space in which to make their bones. BOX WANTS ORDER VS CHAOS.

I would definitely go for a Shaolin Monks 2, the 1st one was awesome.
Yes it really was :). Granted, the story made no fucking sense at all, and I will never understand what could've compelled Kung Lao to ask a monk who was just impaled repeatedly in the chest and face and thrown across the room like a ragdoll if he was okay, but it was too much fun to care.

Ultimate Self-Troll Moment: Throwing about 50 soldiers into the purple portals and getting massively frustrated before realizing the Smoke tasks had to be done in sequential order -_-

NRS can't make anything decent outside of MK lol. Unless they're going to hire the devs that RARE laid off and put them on for a redux of Killer Instinct (which would be fuckin' sweet).

But yeah, the Batman themed 2D fighter would probably be pretty cool, come to think of it. I probably wouldn't mind that, as long as it's good, and not DC vs MK (which sucked - sorry guys). I'll play SC, Tekken or VF if I want to play something 3D; NRS sucks ass in that department.

in;b4 "Why not DoA?" Well, it sucks, and I'm not a pedophile! :)

MK10 will be released alongside the new movie. It'll be a huge marketing campaign by WB.

I bet it'll be a next-gen title too, possibly a launch title.

I don't want a new MK every year or 2, I say 3 to 4 years in between. Let our scene keep growing and put out only quality Tourny viable Mk's from now on.

As long as NRS next game is fun, it will sell. I'm guessing it all depends on when WBs wants them to make more free money.
