WB Games Announces Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition

I've said it a bunch of times, but a Shaolin Monks sequel starring Sub-Zero and Scorpion would be AWESOME!!!
I'm hoping it's something along those lines.
 
wish the original boxart could have looked something like that.

With characters above the logo. Probably would have used the more famous ones like Kang, and Raiden and 2 others.

The third surprise is unexpected one. No way is it playable bosses.

Ok. Whatever it is, it better be some kind of update for not only the MK:KE but also for the original MK9 game!!! Or, it should be related to another new MK game. NOT BATMAN!!!

Agreed! No Nekro spots for the DLC characters was a major bummer. Alt costumes for the DLC characters would also be nice but I won't hold my breath.

They aren't directly available in the Nekro, but you can still access their bios and toggle damage. Once in the Nekro and viewing a character, press start and back out to the player selection screen. Then choose Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain, Freddy. You can also view DLC costumes this way too.

However, it would just be easier to put them proper in the Nekro lineup so endings can be viewed on demand too.

Yeah I know. Still I'd like to see them get a proper spot in Nekro just so it feels more "complete" for lack of a better word. Plus I'd like to see what my stats are with Skarlet.

Making bosses playable in MK is no different than legalizing the use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs in sports. I seem to recall someone named Sablicious at NRS's MK forum threatening to not only cancel his MK9 pre-order, but also threatening to pirate that game if "his main was non-playable" (his main, of course, being Shao Kahn).

Well, that's his problem right there.
I'm sorry, but, what type of moron MAINS a non-playable BOSS character in the MK universe?

Besides, the threat of 1 guy ins't going to make NRS change their mind.
I'm sure that NRS \ WB can trace his username back to the e-mail that he signed up with, and put out a lawsuit on him.

I can answer that question; a cheater (hence why I compared it to steroid/PED use in sports)!

And I know someone will bring up Tekken and SF as examples of fighting game franchises who make bosses playable, but comparing that to MK is clearly comparing apples to oranges; SF bosses from SFII'CE onward and Tekken bosses for the first 4 games were designed to be playable characters, whether by default or through unlocking, and were declared bosses for storyline purposes only (though Tekken 5 & 6 do have unplayable bosses that were designed to be true bosses).

MK bosses, on the other hand, were designed to be bosses, and thus are unplayable for a reason. The only reason Midway made any of them playable in ANY games to begin with was as a novelty item.

Agreed 100%.

Also, Shang Tsung doesn't count as a "playable boss," for any one who was conjuring up that counter-argument.
He was only unplayable in MK1, like Reptile.

Believe it or not, Shang Tsung was a de-facto sub-boss in MKII, despite being playable and having no boss-like attributes, as he was positioned right before the game's bosses in 1-player mode in every ladder configuration. This situation repeated itself 4 more times in MK history; in MK4 (with Shinnok as the final boss), MKDA (with Shang Tsung and Quan Chi as the final two bosses on an alternating basis), MKD (with Noob-Smoke as a sub-boss), and MK9 (Shang Tsung with the same situation as MKII). Those were really the only times in MK's history where playable characters played the role of "de-facto bosses" (and in most cases, they were for storyline purposes, such as symbolizing their status as the main villain of the game's story).

They're releasing this for the people who haven't bought MK9 yet, I don't see a problem with that, it's not like they're tempting us to buy it again by adding a few new costumes, now that would be bullsh*t.
 
I don't see the big issue with this. It's just like any other "Game of the Year" edition. It's not geared toward people who already own the game because why would they buy it? They wouldn't. It's geared toward people who are late to the game. People who have had MK9 since day one like me have been playing it for a year while others have been missing out. So what if they get it with all DLC for a cheaper price? I think I got the better deal.

Wonder if dlc fighters will be in the necropolis. If so, would mkke have a separate trophy list than MK? 2nd plat time?

A legitimate question, but I doubt a new trophy pack will be made for it.
Not saying it's impossible, though.
And I'd like to see DLC kharacters make it into the Nekropolis, that would be a nice addition.
 
Maybe this is an opportunity for them to include all trailers and character vignettes (that the PS3 got as exclusives) on Xbox Live for free downloads!
