I wouldn't mind having anothe game "like" Shaolin Monks, say taking place during mk3/umk3, but not playing as Liu Kang and Kung Lao. Maybe playing as Sub-Zero, Sektor, Cyrax, or Smoke, and having it based on their little dispute during this time.

~"Mortal Kombat: Assasins"~

Not Shaolin Monks but another action/adventure/rpg with other characters.

i would love a smoke adventure game,

or scorpion.

id like to see a game about sonya kinda like the nina williams from tekan one
not a crappy one like mk;sf

they should not make another MK shaolin Monks. MK shaolin monks was complete garbage. I played the game and i was always thinking to myself why am i still playing this game. I guess i was hoping something cool would happen. I am a big MK fan but the fact that i had to jump around to find out where to go just sucked. i was kung lao and it seemed like all of my fighting was done in the air. the story was boring, the game was to easy, the moves sucked, the fatalities on the bosses sucked, and most of all the controls and combos were just complete garbage. the graphics looked like i was playing for the n64 or playstation. I hope that Ed Boon and the rest of the people working on mortal kombat dont waste their time on another crappy game. I wish he would stick to the traditional fighting games. I am hoping that armageddon is more of a fighting game than an adventure game. when mortal kombat was invented it was not meant to be an adventure game. This is why some industries go out of business because they try to change a franchise that was great to complete garbage.

Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks is based on the events after the First Mortal Kombat Tournament has taken place. If they made a Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks 2, what would it be based on? The events leading up to MK3?

I don't want another Shaolin Monks. They could make another RPG though.

Boon mentioned that they would be making other adventure games using the shaolin monks engine. It just wouldn't be shaolin monks, which is fine by me, I'd like to live in some other characters shoes.

I think they will for sure fill the gap between mk2 and 3.
It would be amazing if they incorporated everyone from trilogy in it, but that might prove to be too much of a task.

An orchastrated fight against Motaro would be awesome!

Boon didnt waste his time on creating this game, he got a independant party to design and make. I really enjoyed playin the game, even though it was a bit short. I would love for another adventure game to come out maybe with the events from MK3-4 or the events before MK1.

I hope they will make a second part of this game. But not just an sequel. In my view it would be even cooler if you expierence the entire saga from mulitple ways of view.

1st strory ' Order of Light'

They should start at the beginning (mortal kombat conquest) with Kung Lao defeat Shang Tsung and then spare him. A little story towards the tournament, during and after the tournament. You learn about the Mortal Kombat and expierence the fear for outworld. 50 years later Goro defeats him. Maybe have Taja and Siro on Kung Lao's side for a while and let them age.

After Kung Loa is defeated by Goro you will see a cutseen where Goro wins the 8 other Mortal Kombat's, I mean cool fatality's.

Now it is the 10th Tournament. A number of fighters represent the 'Order of Light' : Lui Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Jax, Kung Lao. In the mksm you wont start at the end of the first tournament, this will cover the entire story. Also the beginning. The arrival on the island the introduction of the champion (Goro). In other words expierence the tournament. Each of the characters has a little different story leading to the end, each with their own bio and partner (sonya and jax's story don't differ that much I mean).

One of the thing I realy love is 'the Pit' and al those other classic settings, which didn't realy caught the mk feeling in the first mksm. The Pit did but it was the only setting that stood out.

After the mk1 you kind of follow the mksm storyline towards the second tournament. What I kinda missed in the first one was the build up of characters (Opponent's). Also a few interlocking story points. (with sub zero, scorpion, kitana, etc.)

This storyline wil continue untill mka, with each mk part clearly outlined and built up for each character. In my view one one of the strong points of mortal kombat has always been the story and the feeling.


Story 2 'Lin Kuei'

Characters: Sub Zero, (human) Smoke, Noob Saibot, Sector, Cyrax, Scorpion and Frost

In this story you can choose two sides: Lin Kuei and Scorpion. Mkm was a fairly good game. The story itself was good. So we use that in the same way. the only difference is offcourse game engine.

First Scorpion is killed by Sub Zero and becomes the real Scorpion. This whole storyline wil be worked out. Maybe some side tracks. But when this part is over we fast forward to the mk1 tournament. We go through the tournament again but from Sub Zero's/Scorpion's perspective. At the end Scorpion will kill Sub Zero.

Sub Zero will become Noob Saibot. A quest for him how he did become a undead warrior and a member of the Brotherhood of Shadow.

Scorpion will follow his story as a neutral force in the battle between earth and outworld and pherhaps why.

Lin Kuei: Now you can select the more fighters: (new) Sub Zero and Smoke. Both with their own storyline. You will also see Sektor en Cyrax before they where tranformed into cyborgs. Sub Zero will follow the mk2 storyline and smoke a more darker one pherhaps.

When the mk3 tournament starts you'll see Sektor and Cyrax tranformed and Smoke wil try to escape with Sub Zero.

You'll get the idea right? Sub Zero will find out who Noob Saibot realy is and will take controll of the Lin Kuei, train Frost who will become aviable at mkda

Scorpion will offcourse follow the Quan Chi storyline afer Sub Zero.

Smoke will be caught and...

Noob Saibot will infiltrate outworld and reprograme Smoke



Story 3: Outworld

Characters: Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, Sheeva, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Shao Kahn, Sindel, Reiko, Onaga, Baraka, Mileena, Jade, Rain, Reptile ect.

I would like to see a story within the outworld army. How did Shao Kahn overthrow Onaga? Why did Shao Kahn train Shang Tsung?, Why are the Shokan and Centaurs enemies? You get the picture. The is al lot of hatred, disrespect, hunger for power is this realm. Exploid that. Give the player a chance to actualy be goro or motaro (and give them plenty fatality's) and slay people and conquer realms.

This are just 3 of the storyplots that are possible. In the last game more characters are intreduced, who could be easely introduced in the story (i.e. black dragon and red dragon)

To make a long story short. The mk Universe is big and well put togetter. There are 60 characters each with their own story. I'm a big fan of the ninja characters

mksm was in a superb game. the gameplay was super, but the story could be explained so much better. The thing I realy liked where the death traps, weapon kills, pit and the fatality (minor point it wasn't real time), I realy liked te upgrade system.

And bring back the Original and Authentic locations. love the feeling

Anyone any other ideas?

i dont fully agree with trevilatilty but i do think that mksm was dumb i kinda liked the way they made it an adventure game the only part i think was dumb is the versus mode that was complete garbage it only had like 10 characters even if u beat the whole game so i would like to see a mk shaolin monks 2 but with more characters it the versus mode u should be able to play with all the people u fight in the story mode

I think they should, I liked Shaolin Monks. But one thing pissed me off. Sub Zero and Scorpion didn't have thier own story line..which pissed me off, lack of Fatalites, and combos...not to mention no team up moves. This time let it be with some other characters...and let it be around the MK3/MK4 story. I liked special forces...let it be with Sonya, Jax and Cyrax. or some other characters who have some kind of link together in story. That would be great....would be better if they made it a 4 player like how "Golden Axe: The Return of Death..." or like some one said with Sub zero and the 3 robot ninjas.

I think they should start it from mk3-4 so Quan chi and shinnok will be the
masters. what do you say about that?

Yeah, another MKSM type game would be great. I loved that game. There are tons of things to enhance, but overall I love playing it.

Id prefer a single player focused game with an engine built as such. SM was too Double Dragon. It would have worked as an early PSOne game, but id prefer a more over the shoulder open world with missions and such. And a far tighter control structure. PoP is a perfect example if it focused on Ninjas, or MGS style if it were Special forces. I think a blend of MGS and PoP would be perfect, and would allow a massive cast of playables.

No, I don't think there should be another game that fits right in between the middle of other games. Shaolin Monk's point was already through with in that game, nothing really more to continue.

And besides, if Mortal Kombat Armageddon is the last MK Game for this series of characters, then the answer is a most definate

Perhaps a game could then span the gap from MK A to MK 8, explaing the result of armagedon, and linking the previous generation to the next (this could introduce a few of the next gen fighters before the next gen game is out)

i think they defianately should make another one mk shaolin monks was a great game yea sure it was to short then they should make the next one longer and have alot more characters to be and play different peoples storylines

If they're going to add and focus on other characters, then they might as well call it "MK: Earthrealm Defenders" instead of "Shaolin Monks".

when mkm:sz was being developed boon said he hoped to do similar spinoffs to help explain the background info of each of the characters in mortal kombat and delve more into their stories, this led to mk:sf with sonya, jax and kano, which in turn lead to mk:sm

although arguably they may not be midways best work they where none the less interesting games to play and judging by the trend the next mk spinoff might be about the lin kuei, in particular cyrax, sektor and smoke. which would be one of the more interesting stories to take up.

yes the first one was ok .they need to make the story longer with different story lines for every character.a sequel to shoalin monks taking place during MK3 would be cool

Yes, and there will be, because after you beat Shao Kahn, and Raiden shocks him so bad that he turns to stone and Liu Kang and Kung Lao kick him at the same time and Kahn's body is hopeless and shatters, the people from the arena come down and cheer for Kung Lao and Liu Kang, but after the whole gang leaves for Earthrealm after the small celebration, you see Quan Chi come down were Kahn's body is shattered, and he picks up the Elder God amulet (Shinnok's) and laughs in a evil tone, which sets up MK Shaolin Monks 2 . . . thats my story and I'm sticking to it!

they should make one wiv sub scorp ermac and rain as the main characters and call it something like

Mortal Kombat : Ninja Clans

i think this would be very cool
