Ed Boon: Next Mortal Kombat to be rated 'M'
by Randy Nelson 
{ Jun 19th 2009 at 9:30PM }
Boon also addressed a tweet he received asking what it would take to make an AO-rated MK, saying, "I dont know where the line is to make MK an AO rated game. But we definitely dont want to kross it." "KROSS" it? Oh Ed, you krazy klown. That never gets old!

KNUTSHIT!

I suspect that the Klan are big fans of Mortal Kombat.

Stop with the forced meme attempts, MystileArmor.
MystileArmor @ Jun 20th 2009 9:27AM
Yeah.. I'll take a note of that...
We'll discuss at our next meeting with the board.
You might want to get that gaping vagina checked out though, it's leaving a trail of sand everywhere...

foken burn!
PR0F3TA @ Jun 20th 2009 1:19PM
lol Burn!

Harsh.

A M-Rated MK game that is in 2-D would be much appreciated.
Longhorn of Myon [PSN: MariusElijah] @ Jun 19th 2009 9:44PM
hell no
rglong @ Jun 19th 2009 9:56PM
HELL YES.
Ihavepants @ Jun 19th 2009 10:02PM
BC Rearmed style.
MKW @ Jun 22nd 2009 10:24AM
...or a 3d, 2d...like street fighter 4.
LordToastington @ Jun 19th 2009 9:45PM
They should make Mortal Kombat even more of a self parody than it already is.
Jrinswand @ Jun 20th 2009 12:11AM
Zoinks, Scoob. That was a wicked burn.
LordToastington @ Jun 20th 2009 1:37AM
Jinkees.

Where is Shiolin Monks 2 Dammit
VSpeck @ Jun 19th 2009 9:48PM
I'm surprised that anyone wants ANY more MK.
MarioSpitza @ Jun 21st 2009 1:38PM
I'm surprised another one's being made. Didn't Midway go bankrupt? How exactly is another game being created?
InFaMoUs1- @ Jun 19th 2009 9:48PM
AO rated game? uhh okay then? i dont want to see naked people fight to the death
MystileArmor @ Jun 19th 2009 9:54PM
I was thinking the same thing. Seeing boobs getting ripped to shreds is kind of hit or miss.
rglong @ Jun 19th 2009 9:58PM
It is truly pathetic that violence and murder are considered less offensive than human nudity in our culture.
Truly pathetic indeed.
MystileArmor @ Jun 19th 2009 10:03PM
No one wants to see ass and tits and schlong flopping around in a fighting game, goddammit!
"COME OVER HERE!!"
"Ehm.. dude.. no... you fucking pervert!"
Hyams @ Jun 19th 2009 10:03PM
Aren't you aware? Pleasuring each other is worse than torturing each other. Making life is worse than ending life. Sex is evil, whilst violence is good ol' family fun.
MystileArmor @ Jun 19th 2009 10:04PM
Also:
"FINISH HIM"
*BOINGGGGGGG*
ASSTALITY!!!
sicsided @ Jun 19th 2009 10:20PM
Thrill Kill. Find a bootleg
avan @ Jun 19th 2009 10:26PM
Europe anyone?? theres even nude tv adds!! so rglong i dont know what you mean when you say our culture...
btw isnt this a midaway game?
Crayfish @ Jun 20th 2009 1:14AM
"COME OVER HERE!!"
"Bleach and some detergent should take care of that"
Sam Diaz @ Jun 19th 2009 9:59PM
KROSS!?... It can only mean one thing. A MK M-rated game starring the teenage rap duo.......Kriss Kross!
LordToastington @ Jun 19th 2009 10:20PM
Lokks like they'll miss the bus... permanently.
LordToastington @ Jun 19th 2009 10:20PM
Looks, rather.
Comet @ Jun 20th 2009 1:43PM
The tagline:
"2 90's relics...Only one will Live."
Max Headroom @ Jun 19th 2009 10:27PM
The biggest thing I'm really asking for in the next MK game is a setting to do one button fatalities. While playing MK vs. DC, I kept wanting to throw my controller through the TV due to the crappy d-pad. I'm pressing left-left, not up-up!
arisc2 @ Jun 19th 2009 10:35PM
it´s ok if he doesn´t want to cross the line, as a Mather of fact maybe it´s time for ed boon to start thinking in something else besides MK, for me MK reached it´s glory moment with MKII after that everything else was a big bad joke. So maybe ed should consider crossing another line, that line is dare to create something new instead of milking a death cow.
Jon D @ Jun 19th 2009 10:41PM
too late to be relevant. nice job on MK vs. DC but it had no real appeal after the story mode and a couple of online fights against Joker exploits.
Mike @ Jun 19th 2009 11:03PM
Yeah, too little too late. No one wants an MK anything at this point, M-rated or otherwise. Let it die.
yokel @ Jun 20th 2009 10:20AM
ouch..
Zacqary Adam Green @ Jun 19th 2009 11:46PM
Wait, why did you need to pixelate out "@McCarron" when anyone can just go look at the original tweet?
I mean, what's gonna happen to the guy he was replying to, more followers?
deanb @ Jun 20th 2009 11:58AM
I don't get it either, it's so easy to search for that tweet so it's not like they are protecting anyones ID. :P
NintendoJunkie @ Jun 19th 2009 11:48PM
I fairly regularly play UMK on my ds lite. It's quite awesome...what isn't so awesome is the AI in the game is "too good". Meaning that it almost always kicks your ass. Puzzle Kombat is a nice addition too. Well worth the $13 i spent on it new @ Sam's Club. Then again there is also a lot of nostalgia involved w/ MK & I...I remember going to the arcade & being like "...blood in a videogame...AMAZING!...let me put MORE quarters in...".
Carlos Shabo @ Jun 20th 2009 12:00AM
how about an MK thats actually good. one that does take it self serious and not one with a hoprrid cast of fighters. one with great fatalites not fatalites that make even you laugh because they suck so bad
Vcize @ Jun 20th 2009 12:10AM
I've been a lifelong MK fan, but Street Fighter 4 is just so damned good that I finally jumped ship.
I swear, if Capcom introduces a 6 person lobby system for SF4 I'll never play another fighting game.
? @ Jun 20th 2009 3:30PM
SF4 is ok. its not a big ass deal. Now where the hell is Killer Instinct ??? I really miss that game.
atx1980 @ Jun 20th 2009 8:11AM
THATS RIGHT DAMMIT! I WANT THE M IN MORTAL KOMBAT! DAMMIT!
Jeff @ Jun 20th 2009 8:27AM
I don't care what rating it gets, I just want it to not suck.
Also, I'd personally like it to get rid of the stupid fighting stances, weapons, and 3D gameplay.
whylekat @ Jun 20th 2009 9:35AM
It's so true. All my friends and myself would have def bought MKvsDC if it were M-rated. They should have released 2 versions since they had the finished copy anyway. MK minus blood equals pointless.
Damion McIntosh @ Jun 20th 2009 12:00PM
What Midway needs to do is release NBA for XBLA with all the old players from the first games and the new players like Kobe, Lebron, Yao! Shaq was in one of the first games and he would be in this one wow.
Jon D @ Jun 20th 2009 12:50PM
honestly i thought Armageddon was pretty badass. it was like UMK3 on every kind of performance-enhancing drug out there. there's just little things missing in their fighting engines when they scrap them for new ones that make the game suck.
iuno, i'm sure they're cooking something up that'll be decent, but nothing like the MK we all know and love.
