NRS will not make an updated MK9, there would be no money in it for them. Even if they added a ton of content, fixed all of the MK9 bugs/issues, added characters and new gameplay mechanics etc it would not sell to the masses, only the hardcore MK(9) guys would buy it.

The casuals who probably account for 99% of the games total sales only want a "new game". They don't want updates to old games. The Capcom formula (SF4-SSF4-SSF4AE, SSF42012AE, etc) does not work in the world of casuals. Casuals see this as a company being cheap and trying to sell them the same product a second (or third or fourth) time.

While hardcore players/FGC members obviously understand the value of fixing/updating/adding to an already strong game the causal gaming community will not embrace this philosophy and will not give their hard earned $60 for a game that they feel they already bought once.

IMO the MK franchise more-so than other fighting game franchises really relies on the sales from the casual gamers (who are looking to be briefly entertained by blood/gore/fatalities/x-rays).

If you took all of your above ideas and just had NRS add a whole new story and call it MK10 or MKX or something it would probably sell, but if it really is just a massive update for MK9 the reviewers from the general media (GI, IGN, etc) would blast NRS for having it be too similar to the last game which would also hurt sales on the casual gamer side (because LBSH, they dont care about a technically perfect/tournament competitive fighting game, they just want a NEW gaming experience)

Thats what I think at least.
 

MKF30

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
I don't want interactables in MK10, but I DO want to see oldschool stage transitions but like Injustice in a way.

But MK 10 I'm sure will have MK 9 stuff and then some.

Also, don't know about anyone else but I don't like the neutral jump punch.

Matix218 that's why it shouldn't be released for full-price. Maybe do what Capcom did with SSFIV and allow it to be a DLC add-on for those with an existing copy and charge like 15-20 bucks for it.

I would be all over that obviously (as I am sure you and a bunch of other MK9 guys would be) but I just dont see NRS pouring any more effort into MK9 at this point. I am sure that their next project will be MK10 and it will be on a next gen platform (Xbone/PS4 etc).

Believe me, I would kill for a fixed and re-balanced "final" version of MK9, I still play MK9 all the time... but I know it is not going to happen and it is probably not even worth getting hopes up that an update like this would ever happen. The only hope of this is if some people within the community decide to crack open the code for MK9 PC and are able to make changes/fixes/re-balances as a community (similar to what the smash guys did with project-M).

I think someone will eventually do it. It's been done with SFIV, so it's not a far stretch to expect it. It would mean the updated game would have to be played on a PC.

Yeah I agree that could potentially happen. And I hope it does.

I will play it on PC or whatever hardware it is on if it means a final definitive version of MK9

I love the neutral jump punch personally, the one universal move that is completely useless in MK9 though is the neutral jump kick...

As an Ermac player I have to disagree with the njk being useless, in corners I use it all the time in juggles lol but I do think both NJP and NJK's are more rarely used in the game.

I also wouldn't mind interactables IF they're not too much I guess. Injustice was fun I just don't want them turning MK into IJ know what I mean?

I wonder if they'll bring back MK 4 elements with picking up weapons etc

I also play ermac and I agree the only time that i use NJK is in Ermac Corner combos linking it into telepunch lol.

Good point

Not completely...since it stalls air momentum, you can sorta use it to float over projectiles.
That is very true, it does keep you in the air, I guess that would be a legitimate use for it. I just rarely use it

"On your Knees!"
I thought MK9 Komplete Edition was already UMK9? just like UMK3 they added Scorpion, Rain, Kitana ,Reptile, Mileena, Jade, Noob, Sub Zero Masked, Ermac, Cyber and Human Smoke which didnt have in MK3. Ifor like them to add MKT as an extra like they did in Armageddon in MK10 but thats highly unlikely since they are gonna say "Ahh just buy it on the PSN Store"
 
Lol @ umk9. I love the game as much as anybody here, but mk9 is done. There will be no update or patch and it will not be a main game at evo or any other majors. Mk10 is the only mk most people care about now.
 
I don't want them to release a patch for MK9 on the 360 or PS3 I want them to release MK10 for the Xbox One I just don't want to lose some of the awesomeness of MK9

I just hope they "tweak" the cast, upgrade the netcode, add frame data and record/playblack to training mode, brutalities, and A SECTION THAT TELLS PLAYERS WHY CHARACTERS AND THEIR MOVES ARE THE WAY THEY ARE.

I wouldn't want a Create-a-Fighter. I don't see how that would work in competitive.

"Mind Over Matter" I dont mind, and X dont matter
I believe that Boon knows well that MK9 needs that one final patch and I am sure that after 3 years of watching and exploring MK9 and Injustice they are capable of fixing it and I hope that one day they will sit down and fix it for good while they enjoy MK10 being best seller.
I would really like to see MK10 stunning effects and mk9 game play on PS4 - i bet we would ride that game for like forever.

On side note: Yesterday I went into a gaming club there people drink alcohol and play games (if they wish - for free) and believe it or not I am walking into 3 floor complex and I see MK ruining on SNS (some hacked version) MK3 on sega and MK9 being played above the BAR while people are drinking and laughing.
The franchise has its legacy and love I that is good reason to fix MK9 - the only question is when is that happen and on what basis.
