I actually thought about this....seeing all the charecters who have only ever been 3d in 2d would be just as jarring and nostaligic as seeing all the charecters who have only been 2d...which is very few actually...in 3d when MKA came out. However, as mentioned about any other game that isnt a direct sequel with a true story to it, it would be only asking for trouble for the Midway team to dedicate time to making a digital model 2d fighter again while trying to perfect MK8
