Ed Boon spoke with IGN in an interview with the series co-creator.
IGN: Why the arcade game and not the MK: Armageddon design?
Ed Boon: We've been fortunate enough to have some great success bringing back the "old-school" MK games to some of the newer consoles. We've had great online playing versions of MK2 and MK3 on the Xbox 360 and the PS3. The DS has never had an MK game before so we thought it was a perfect fit. Since UMK3 has already come out for the home, we wanted to also offer something that the previous versions didn't have so we are including Puzzle Kombat. I'm not entirely sure we would be able to fit all of MK Armageddon on a DS cartridge.
In addition, the MK Team is highly involved in the creative input for Ultimate Mortal Kombat for the Nintendo DS. They are still working on ideas on how to fully utilize the handheld's dual screens and perhaps incorporate the touch-sensitive input. Until then, we all wait with extreme anticipation until the title's release in November 2007. Stay tuned as there will more than likely be more information coming out of the E3 Media & Business summit in almost two weeks.
