@iflywright because there's no way it would pick up good sales - firstly MK doesn't do numbers in Japan, if it isn't Tekken, Street Fighter or Soul Calibur, they are not interested.
Second reason why is MK itself hasn't really been good in a while (the actual games), MKX did decent enough sales but like all big named franchises in recent years, the overhype behind the game drove the sales much higher than would have been if it wasn't overhyped (the game wasn't that good and didn't merit those numbers).
This isn't a reason not to bring it, but it does mean that any new ports won't get the same hype and the sales numbers would reflect that. Most people would compare it to Smash when buying a fighting game and it would get decimated.
Personally i would much rather see a new Street Fighter and Soul Calibur game anyway.

Re: Feature: The Haunting History Of Capcom's Ghosts 'n Goblins Series
I enjoyed it on the SNES but there were other games that i preferred much more at the time and they've aged terribly.
I will reserve judgement for release though.
Re: Hardware Review: Believe The Hype, Polymega Is The Ultimate All-In-One Retro Machine
Yeah that's too expensive. It needs to be able to do a lot more than play retro games for that silly price.
It needs apps and browsers, possibly some other bells and whistles too.
Even then I still think it'll flop.

Well they dodged a bullet on that one then.

Re: Hardware Review: The Sega Saturn Bluetooth Pad Doesn't Live Up To Its Inspiration
Oh look Sega is actually showing us why they will never make it in the hardware market.
Thanks Sega, we almost forgot...
Oh wait no we didn't.
ATgames reminded us earlier this year too...
Oh Sega... You crazy hedgehog you...
Re: Feature: Neo Geo's First Flash Cart Is Here, So What Now For Switch-Owning SNK Fans?
as much as i would love to own a Neo Geo, they cost like £800 for used ones. Collectors items now i believe.
