@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.
