Since discovering the poll feature on Twitter, NetherRealm Studios Creative Director Ed Boon has taken to asking everything from movie preferences to most desired game content. He returned to the hot button topic of Mortal Kombat X this week, asking fans which news they'd most like to see:
What news do you want to see most on Mortal Kombat X ?
In a poll of three options; 10,160 fans came down in favour of a GGPO supported Mortal Kombat XL update for PC. The 48% interested in PC gaming were closely followed by 41%, whose preference would be a new game-wide patch to balance or "buff" gameplay of preferred characters. Around 1117 fans chose a fourth season of the competitive Electronic Sports League at a distant 11%.
The update options notably omit any release of more downloadable characters for the game, which released disc copies of a "komplete" Mortal Kombat XL edition in March.
With MKXL for PC now on the table, speculation is wide open to new character additions through a late port release. The practice has been frequent throughout Mortal Kombat history, with Mortal Kombat Gold notably introducing klassic characters to the Sega Dreamcast version of Mortal Kombat 4. Delayed Nintendo releases saw character exclusives as recently as Deception (Goro and Shao Kahn) and Armageddon (Khameleon). This could theoretically explain previous polls asking fans about their favourite omitted male and female characters.
The 2015 PC release of Mortal Kombat X was plagued with issues on launch -- one of two Warner Brothers third-party ports released with devastating results. Attempts to fix problems were short lived, eventually leaving Mortal Kombat X short on updates, and struggling with unresolved reports of functional flaws. The first Kombat Pack was released to the PC before support was officially abandoned.
New content would be a developer mea culpa welcomed by PC fans, who've been understandably frustrated with the state of their purchase. The addition of the GGPO rollback method used to enhance online play for consoles would also go lengths to extending the life of the fighter.

The triumphs of the original Mortal Kombat trilogy have cast a long shadow over a quarter century of kung fu fighting. Fans eager to relive the thrills of klassic kombat, or discover an era of 16-bit gaming for the first time, will have a new economic way to scoop up history with the latest plug 'n' play edition of the Sega Genesis.
The newest version of the Sega Mega Drive Classic Game Console maintains a boastful new line-up of 80 games in its built-in emulated library.
The list includes usual suspects like the complete Sonic the Hedgehog series, interesting oddballs like Chakan: The Forever Man and Eternal Champions, as well as headlining Sega ports for: Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II & Mortal Kombat 3!
Sega ports by Probe boasted a notably fluid experience for the time, utilizing six-button play and full Mortal Kombat iconography - including blood and fatalities missing from some competing versions.
Before you get too excited about the value of the economy purchase -- the "bonus" games threaten with a list of titles like: Cross The Road, Curling 2010, Fish Story, Plumbing Contest, Wall-Breaking, Warehouse Keeper, Naval Power, Mr. Balls and the delightfully forthcoming: Hidden Agenda. At least some of these shovelware games may actually be considered corporal punishment for heinous crimes in parts of the world. More of the list can be found on the Smyths Toys website.
This generation of clone consoles also boasts the added benefit of a cartridge slot, allowing you to revisit your original library of games, but if that sounds too good to be true on top of the built-in majesty of Jack's Pea, it may not be all it's cracked up to be.
Jeremy Parish of US Gamer raises concerns about the quality of the hardware: "Rather than incorporating original Genesis hardware — despite the cartridge slot — they run on mediocre emulators that don't offer full compatibility with cartridges. Inexplicably, they don't even offer save support for carts that include battery backup." The Mega Drive clone console is also limited to composite cables, lacking the modern HDMI outputs.supported by Nintendo equivalents.
When it comes to capturing the original Mortal Kombat experience, most fans will want to choose modern console and PC options, like MK Arcade Kollection. For those who don't have the latest hardware, and are looking for some quick and easy thrills for £49.99 [via Argos] - wireless controls and kusoge curiosity might just be worth it!
