MK:SM is the first MK game IMO to make a sucessful transaction to another gerne, action adventure. not to mention the puzzle and chess systems put into deception.

i was thinking what eles could MK match up well with.

1. stealth action- we have ninjas, which = to the stealth possiable. game like tenchu and manhunt made the variaties of kill a major part of the game. fatalites could become stealth kills. the idea of MK ninjas breeching enemy forts with there spears and ice power would be fun.

2. Real Time stratagy- you could mangage armies of monks, taraktans, outworld inhabitiants, reptiles race if you manages to bring back to existence. army of the sub zero's clan and the dragon kings undead army. there are endless unit and managment idea. oni's and the main hero and bad guys could be special units.

3. pure RPG- i know MK:SM has some rpg elements, but a full out MK RPG could be interesting. special abilities become like spells, the story would have to be good cause that is what makes or breaks an RPG title. turn bases or action RPG like Kindom heart or zelda.

these are just my ideas and opinions please add your own idea to the mix
