I don't know if you already know it ...
I saw on MK5.ORG that Midway is producing a new MK game for the GBA . It is a sequel to MK : Deadly Alliance,and its title (so far) is Mortal Kombat : Deadly Revenge . The game system is going to be more like DA (and not like Mortal Kombat Advance),and will also have some new features,like a mode for 4 players . It will probably be released on August . No other details were revealed,but it seems that a member of the MK crew hinted that Sektor (the red cyber ninja) will be one of the fighters .
Bye ! Have a nice weekend ! See you soon !

I can be any person in the world ... maybe I'm this person right in front of you ... or maybe I'm not !!

Hmm... Still haven't played Deadly Alliance yet, but it looked interesting. However, no MK has really managed to interest me since MK2. I actually had a lot of fun with MK2, genuinely enjoyed it both in the arcades and on SNES. However, everything that followed left a bad taste in my mouth. I played MK4 with some friends on N64 and PS (and damn, the PS version was BAD... or was that the N64 one? I don't know, but one of them blew far more than I imagined possible), just because it was hilarious.

Maybe it was my age at the time, or the arcade scene at the time, but MK2 had this kind of magic to it. I even didn't mind the art style or anything. I don't like the way new MK looks, though. I don't know how Deadly Alliance plays, but seeing how my friends enjoyed it for a week and then dropped it, I doubt I'd be making a good decision wasting my money on it when I still need GGX2, Xbox CvS2 (so I can play on Live at my friend's house!), and SC2 is around the corner.

Oh God... I didn't like Deadly Alliance. I can't help but laugh at the commercial, where they claim game magazines call it the best 3D fighter out there.

Anyway, if Midway wants to get Mortal Kombat back to mainstream, heres what they need to do:

1) Go back to 2D and photo-realistic characters, like the original MKs. Maybe the resolution can be better this time around.

2) New fighting engine.. maybe a bit like the Marvel Vs Capcom system. (Mainstream US gamers like combos and flash)

3) Lots of Gore. Go all out with over-the-top moves. (US gamers love flashiness)

But then, this is just my opinion.

Midway should do what other companys are doing. They should port MK1 y MK2 for the GBA.

I'm pretty sure they could look pixel perfect, and with four butons, everything should work. They just need to get Probe to do the ports (do Probe still exist? I have no idea...)

And since I'm just day dreaming, they should put both games in a single cart and call it something like "Mortal Kombat Klassics" or something better.

And in the next MK for current consoles they should include as an unlockable item older MK games.

For instance, after X quantity of credits you could unlock MK: Sub Zero Mythologies.

Yeah, it was a pretty nice little game, but I just wish the controls felt a little more fluid... and that most of the fatalities didn't suck. Other than that, Sub-Zero was cool, Scorpion was cool, Kenshi, and Frost... all a lot of fun to play with. But, I'm tired of the game for now.

I liked the game, but to say it's the best 3D fighter out there is ridiculous. As for the "new" MK for GBA, It just sounds like a "remix" to me. NOT a COMPLETELY new game... but I don't know. It's possible.

I'm capable of much better graphic design

but I just slapped this together. Sorry....

Waitasec, since MK games have around 5-6 buttons and the GBA has only 4, how do you block on a GBA port of a MK game?
