Actually I really wanted to have Shinnok playable in MK9 so that I could main an Elder God. I even often imagined how awesome it would be if he become a playable character in the next Mortal Kombat game. So if he somehow ends up being a playable character I will definitely be really excited and hyped!
However there are already so many awesome characters that I am hyped for (Mileena,Ferra Torr,D'varoh,Kotal Kahn,Sub-Zero) that adding Shinnok into the mix would just make my decision for a main even tougher that it already is,Ha!
