If you’re a person who loves to crack open hookers in order to experience the wonders of human innards or enjoy a rousing session of Mortal Kombat, sit down for this one: Midway Games are working on Mortal Kombat 9 and according to head honcho and kreator of the venerable franchise Ed Boon, it will be rated “Mature.”
Earlier this afternoon (that whole “BREAKING” thing was a joke; har har.) Ed Boon spilled the Mortal Kombat 9 and violence beans with a forceful tweet. “People want an M-rated MK ... dammit, we will give them an M-rated MK.”
So, yeah, it looks like Midway is kicking the Bat and Flash to the curb and unshackling Mortal Kombat. It’s a good move. Nobody hates detached spinal cords. In fact, every game should have at least two of them.

Even though it already did.
Scandalous rumours Brad, SCANDALOUS!
Actually, it'd be even better if they made it 2D, but I won't get my hopes up.
See MK, MK II and MK3.
You listening, Ed?
Maybe even bring back John Tobias to consult.

Ha ha!
Coming from someone without an avatar, that's a surprisingly good idea. Seriously, I would love it if they did that.

I think the real competitive fighting game fans don't like how unbalanced the MK games tend to be,
2D would be nice but Im happy as long as its not like the last few games. They were too awkward and clunky. The animations were crap (but kind of funny) and the characters felt so robotic and lifeless.
I actually think they have gone downhill since Mk4 (shut up). At least that game had the essence of a mortal kombat game, as budget as it was.
P.S. JOHNNY CAGE
Either way, although not being particularly into the series, I actually hope it does okay and retains its original meaning: bloody, pulpy things that I'd rather stay away from, unless I'm drunk. The gameplay had never cut it for me, unfortunately. Although the new one actually played reasonably well. If you could take your bleeding eyes away from the completely out of place DC characters. Although I'll admit it had some nonsensical humour to it.
Kan't wait
mk4 was decent becauae it was the first 3d one.
havent been a decent mk in my opinion in years.
I would like to see them dump the create your own fatality i dont think they are fun , keep the 2d gameplay and chees factor dont try to make the game to serious.
I also loved all the secrets and weird stuff ther second mortal kombat had.
You know you want MK Kart in HD :\
