THIS -- A THOUSAND TIMES, THIS! As far as I was concerned, MK died at UMK3. As soon as they came out with the compilation with all the characters in 1 game... I knew they were finished. They started milking the franchise RIGHT then... pushing out crap just to get a few bucks -- even as a child I understood this -- and I think many people don't understand THAT is when it all started. They've been murdering MK for 12 years (Trilogy was 1996)... and MKvDC is further proof of the milking and murdering. All that aside, this does look like the most interesting MK release in a very very long time. I am a forgiving man, and I let people take their chances to prove me wrong. As you said as well, Drakeypoo, Sonic is dying too... and I'm willing to forgive Sega if they'd just release one good new Sonic game... maybe Unleashed will do that.
