There also was a 360 port of UMK3 and a PS3 port of MK2, as well as ports of MK1 and UMK3 in the special editions of MKD and MKA, all of them were great ports.
Ed Boon said he wants to port NRS/WB games to the Switch, like IJ2, and there were discussions about it. All of NRS/WB games are now on PS and XB as well as PC. Maybe it's only a matter of time before they will come to the Switch.
How do you know that all of the Capcom players, both old and new ones, care about the classic SF games? As far as I can tell, if the newer players in the NRS community don't care about the classic MK games, that is the truth for newer SF players regarding old SF games.That is just taking things way out of proportions. And the old games still have player-base, there was a guy who just one year ago made an online Tutorial for online play in MKA. And the old SF player-base isn't that big anyway.
True, i forgot about those since its been so long. Also there was the MK2 port that was in Shaolin Monks, was pretty good, but not "Arcade perfect"
TBH I actually didn't know about the MK2 port in MK:SM.
It was your reward for smokes missions.
If it is possible it might actually work, but I think that most likely they would just put individual ports for every game in the collection.
First of all, you can't really put arcades into the equation as arcades are almost completely gone from the west world but in Japan they are still going strong. That means every genre of games can't be played to a high level in arcades in the west, including fighting games, which also include MK games, as well SF and other japanese fighting games outside of Japan.
Lol I didn't want to say anything either because I love the mk series but I feel I have to now because it's not right for someone to write things they either have no idea what they're talking about or just cant face reality. Both you and @MAPUSA are 100% right. SF legacy games are way way more popular still than mk legacy games, it's not even close. I'll just provide facts here so that this debate ends and we can focus on making NRS do what capcom did with their anniversary. SF ST still are part of major tournaments, not only side shows:
I think while a lot of that is true, the older MK fanbase care more about the classics, let's be honest MKDC, MK9, MK X and even the 3D MK's appealed to a different gen of players entirely(MK guys took risks and still had a following with 3D, when Capcom tried this well it failed entirely) SF is older so naturally it'll have a bigger oldschool fanbase but MK's isn't exactly nothing especially with MK's recent success past 10 years or so, MK has been very relevant between the games, MKL, new movie talk. I think we care but the push isn't as big as some other fanbases but I agree with you about the newer gen not caring about the older MK's which is a shame because MK 9 had a very nostalgic feel to it that the 3D ones lacked. But I do think there are some players of new who like the other MK's, I've met some people online who loved UMK3 and MK 2 who are 10-15 years younger than me, I'm an oldschooler myself so that gives me hope. But MK 4 seriously needs something it's not the best MK but it's not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be either.
That's good to hear, I just hope they actually do it I mean not for nothing but IMO if they can make it for PC(a group of people who tend to shit on fighting ports of PC for years now) I think NRS can appeal to Nintendo, I mean every time they do they get a good product. MK A for Wii was actually better than the Xbox and PS2 versions, cleaned up some glitches, had Khameleon and had more modes but lacked online play. Injustice 1 for Wii U wasn't bad at all. UMK3 for DS was awesome, so I mean I know they can do it I'm just wondering why NRS hasn't pushed more for the Switch. I happen to work in electronics retail currently as one of my jobs and the switch sold out numerous times this past month nevermind Black Friday, the Wii U did not sell nearly this well. Let's hope though man, that's good though. It seems Ed respects the Switch which is a good sign. I'd love to play MK 4 port on the switch or 1-4 with net play, GGPO netcode dude I'd live on that shit forget MK X and I2 lol if they did that.
Oh you're in Germany? That's neat, I'm in USA I thought you were referring to here or South America, that's why I was saying we have a following I am not too familiar with Europe's classic fanbase though, I've heard you guys have a decent amount of MK fans. Perhaps you're right with Sony, but I'm hopeful something for the Switch in the future will hit, this is also a chance for NRS and WB to be inspired by Capcom's move with this 30th collection, to them to make a new classic collection of their own. Time will tell though I guess. I'm sorry you had no success on that.
WB took it down
Ok I was wrong regarding the classic SF tournies. But still, if there is still at least one annual even that features tournies for the classic MK games (the Kombat Kon) that means there is still a following for those classic games, as well as with what @MKF30 said regarding younger players who loved MK2 and UMK3. All we can hope is that WB will allow NRS or maybe another studio to work on these ports. Also @ILuvFightGames I'm not hating on classic SF games, please don't put words in my mouth.
Very good points regarding MK and SF games. And yeah the it will be awesome to see newer MK games or maybe even classic ones on the Switch.
If the shoe don't fit then you don't have to worry about it my dude, simple. Hey at least you had the maturity to admit you were wrong, we all are misinformed at some point so its all good. Leaving that behind I agree with everyone here that wants nrs/wb to bring out the legacy mk games. Those are classic just like the SF ones so why not? I mean that'll be badass, I for one am hoping for this.
Well it's not like it is super sensetive to admit about something like this, but I'm glad we understand each other and both agree regarding the classic MK games.
They would 100% make money.
