Mortal Kombat series are one of my faves and though I have seen some things about the series.Other mdeia were also popular as well (exclding MK: Annihilation That sucked REAL BAD)
1.The game feature a variety of of awesome characters like bold ninjas deadly beauties, Chine martial artist, demigods,robots,monsters etc.tHisone has one the best rosters ever.
2.Pallete swapping was common feature in the series begining I mean from MK till last year's remake (or till Armageddon). Every few of them had similar basic moves and this one was one the unique features in the game. Since you guys have been discussing
3.The series have darker content than others and more awesome storylines.MK 9 had best of them all.No wonder it had a great reception.Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

4. This series were almost in all controversies due to fatalities in it and most children tried in reality They have got some lawsuits and some have banned the series due to intense violence. Its cool in game but real life we should reenact the moves or fatalities i think now everyone knows about that but back then the craze were so high many ended up losing their lives. The link tell all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_of_Mortal_Kombat
No doubt that this game had been one of the best franchise ever.

PSB: What are some other series that you have considered a crossover with? I know that, in the US, many fans would love to see a Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat…
Ono: I actually get a lot of requests for Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat on my Twitter feed and elsewhere. I understand why people want it, but it’s easier said than done. Having Chun Li getting her spine ripped out, or Ryu’s head bouncing off the floor….it doesn’t necessarily match.
But I’ve had a couple of dream projects in my head for a while, one being Street Fighter X Tekken, which is actually coming true. Another would be a Marvel vs DC game which would be pretty damned cool if we could ever pull it off. I’m a big comic-book fan.
Now if I can get the presidents of those two companies in the same room shaking hands, then we could get something started. I’d love to see that just as a fan!
I think that MK9 was epic the game almost resets everything from the previous series. And who know in MK 10 a new chapter will be written in the history of MK. I liked MK 2 Arcade version because the home versions (SNES and Genesis) were good but not as like the arcade version.
