I believe Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects took fighting games to a whole different level. As more games are being released for the X-Box 360 and the PS3 in the future, I believe all fighting games will include the ability to run around in stages, and interact with the enviornment, such as picking up items and throwing them at opponents, fly around, climb up walls or buildings. To me, I enjoyed Verses Mode in MK: Shaolin Monks and the boss fights more than any other part of it. I think it would be a good idea to make the next generation fighting engine similar to MK: Shaolin Monks' Verses Mode with more combos and more of a fighting game and more special attacks. And with the stage fatalities and the weapons on the ground characters would be able to pick up, the next MK would be great. What if 4 people wanted to play, think of 2 on 2 battles (to whsomething similar en you played the Kitana, Jade, and Mileena bossfight witha friend). Until then, we'll never know what the next generation fighting engine would be like. But who knows, I might be right.
