TRMK

While we head back from Sin City, the dust is finally settling on Midway Gamers' Day 2008. Even as we heard from our sources that this game was going to be a crossover, the mere fact of such a game being created even questioned the validity of our tried and trusted informants. The unfathomable happened and an intriguing chapter in the Mortal Kombat history had begun as Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was announced last night / early this morning. With many questions in tow, Patrick interviewed the man with the answers, series co-creator Ed Boon, and got as much as we could within the limited amount of time we had.

TRMK: Beyond those announced today, Scorpion and Sub-Zero. How many/which old characters can we expect to return?
EB: You know, I can’t answer that. Actually, you know what? The way I always answer to people is: The only ones we confirmed are Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Superman and Batman. But, if you were to say: Ok, what are the biggest Mortal Kombat characters? What are the biggest DC characters? I bet that you will get 90% of the cast yourself. You know, so you do the math.

Gameplay changes, the lack of mini-games, the philosophy behind a Nintendo Wii port and as well as several audio clips of the interview and much more await! Go check it out! When you're done, you can head on over to our Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe forum and join fellow MK fans in what is already being considered the hottest topic in Mortal Kombat history.
