With the confirmation of an XBox Live Arcade style downloadable software system to be in place for the PS3, and Nintendo Revolutions 'Virtual Console' perhaps, instead of drawing talent from MK 8 (which NEEDS to be a massive title to keep the franchise afloat IMO, because even dedicated fans have their limits) MK Team could gather a small group of programmers to work on an old school style 2D MK game for download on all platforms for their 2007 title (assuming they continue to release one per year).

The title could include a reworked MK I through III based engine, with all old characters in MK I, II and III forms, aswell as new sprites based on modern MK:A forms. Tag Team and Team elimination modes could also be added.
