looks like you're trying to make a smart statement and failed. What does the
NES stand for? Uhh...Nintendo Entertainment System. That means it ENTERTAINS
people dickhead. Why do you think video games came out in the first place? Do
you think martial artists' used street fighter to train? No. I'm sure this

assistant: Aug 11, 1996
Hey, that idea was pretty good. Hey better than I would think of.
The whole idea of the Earth warriors and Outworld warr... team up
together is a great idea. I believe when we can select characters like
Shan K, Goro and can do fatalities with them. MK maybe, just maybe can
be number 1 again.
Also if they had a 3-d world or stages to fight in like (War Gods, Virtual F3
) the characters could do better moves. For Example, Sub-Zero
In the Movie of Mortal Kombat: Sub-Zero make a Ice Bubbble that froze
everything in it's path. What if you can do that in a 3-D Mortal Kombat
That make it a better good from 2-D to 3-D
What do you think????
