Whoa... we haven't even had MK8 coming out yet... don't worry about adventure games right now. Everyone's biggest concern is about MK8 right now. But don't act like Midway is not going to do a thing with the adventure games... I'm sure there's going to be something so don't get carried away now.

CHEERS for FROSTING!

Okay Miss negative as usual, you need to understand this is a future MK discussion forum. He did everything right, all he did was talk about a future MK game. Chill out, relax, and try not saying cheers for one post at least.

There is a 50% chance of it coming back depending on how well mortal kombat eight goes.

Me personally would not like there to be another thing like that as it does not utilize the proper mortal kombat battle system. This makes me feel that I am limited to what moves I can do.

On the other hand I really liked how you could enhance your special moves, and the idea of buying them with the experience that you earn.

But in Shaolin monks I felt limited as to what characters I could use. And when you unlocked Sub-Zero and Scorpion the script doesn't change what so ever.

I say that if they make another one that they don't make it half-assed.

Outworld... get your facts straight, buster, okay?

Where oh where did I stated negtatively on answering the guy's question. I understand you don't like me, and if you want to continue this little negotiation, we can, just not in forms and start making a flame war. I told him to chill and wait a while because don't adventure games usually come out AFTER the fighting game? Yeah, so you chill out and stop thinking everything I say is always negative. YOU don't know everything about Mortal Kombat, so stop acting like you're Mr. Know-it-all.

so CHEERS for MUFFINS!

Agreed. Cheers only for Pabst Blue Ribbon.

CHEERS FOR BUTT F*****G MONKEYS! hehe

waiting for mk8 and scared like usual about it, i have 3 words in terms of them juggling multiple mk games.

Quality over Quantity

-Casselman

I couldn't agree more. Please let the quality be out of this world. As MK8 debuts as a new invention and a new game, I am excited, as well as scared for it too.

I would prefer a new CANON game.

It would be cool, but MK8 should come first.

Why does everyone think MKSM is not canon?

ITS MK2 IN ADVENTURE MODE.

MKSM is canon. But probably not as much as the actual MK2 so it's about 50 50.

Less than that.
Characters who weren't supposed to die died. MK2 was about a tournament in Outworld, MK:SM was about Liu Kang & Kung Lao being tricked into wandering around Outworld aimlessly killing people. In MK:SM Kitana was under a spell and defeated by Mileena when she was never under a spell and supposed to kill Mileena. Kung Lao is jealous of Liu Kang when in the actual canon he never wanted to be Champion of Mortal Kombat. I could keep going, but I digress.

Shaolin Monks was a trainwreck of a story with only a pale similarity to MK2.

I believe in the intro of MK2 it said that it was indeed a trap. Shang Tsung was to lure the Earthrealm warriors into Outworld so that they would meet certian death at the hands of Shao Kahn.

Still involved a tournament that was also meant to be a distraction while Sindel was resurrected on Earth.

Neither of these plots were utilized in MK:SM. Instead, they had Shang Tsung trick Liu Kang & Kung Lao into killing people so he could get stronger.

It would be kool to do a MKSM of MK3, but like everyone says it needs to bee cannon and be of good quality

MKSD (Mortal Kombat: Duet of Sorcerers) would be a cool adventure game as well, a tale of Tsung and Quan Chi's mission to beat off the Earthrealm protectors.


CHEERS for MUFFINS

I don't know why everyone would've wanted Shaolin Monks to be canon. That would be boring as all hell since the bad guys usually just run away. I seriously prefer the alternate retelling as far as an actual game is concerned. Gives a new perspective on the story as well.

As much as I enjoyed playing the squeeling monk and his jealous friend in MKSM, I did NOT like how my favourite character was so grotesquely murdered for reasons completely unnecessary (Jade was the better of her and Mileena to keep alive). I would rather see a rewrite of the original MKSM which would make it more canon than a sequal to a title that was poorly performed and introduced.

sm was canon, to a degree. ed boon said that the reason all the villains died, was merely to make gameplay more interesting. just beating the baddies wouldn't have been as fun. the whole quan chi ending thing made no sense tho. but i do hope they eventually do another adventure game based around the mk3 series. that game would be huge!
