I am enjoying this game a bunch but we all figure that there will be an "Ultimate" Mortal Kombat or Game of the Year or "Super" edition released next year but what should it have in it? Here is what I would add to it to make it an even better package.

I don't know. I think there's a fairly decent chance they'll simply go the DLC route with MK.

How about they DON'T do an "ultimate" edition or release the same game every year with a new character or two and actually give us expansion packs or entirely new games?

I doubt we will see a sequel in a year or two. I would like it if they did just do a DLC update with all this stuff but unfortunatly thats just not how it works now. Seems every big game gets a re-release sometimes multiple times with the DLC or other improvements. Now I would rather a new version be only $30 vs. a full $60 but they make money by doing these re-releases plus it keeps the studios busy and working.

Never got into Rain other than he was the Purple guy. I looked him up and I guess they changed him up a bit in the later versions. I had just thought Ermac was the Orange guy but his update seems cool.

I would like to see bald Kano, I enjoyed that costume. BTW, has there ever been a Red Ninja? Like Scorpion is yellow, etc. I think Ermac was orange but I could be wrong?

I approve of a Ultimate MK

i settle for another x-ray for each character

As others have said, I'd much rather see a major DLC pack than a new game. It should have a continuation of the story, a new (but maybe smaller) tower, at least one more x-ray per character (2 wouldn't hurt), another set or two of costumes and maybe a few new characters. Only issue I see with characters is that they've sorta already got all the chars at least I care about (the game already has some of the chars I'd rather not see), so filling it up with more stupid chars doesn't really add anything.

I want a few downloadable characters, but nothing beyond that.

I'd like to see Rain, for instance, and maybe Robo-Smoke.

" BTW, has there ever been a Red Ninja? "

Robo-Smoke should be easy enough to do, I forgot they had one until I watched Mortal Monday.

Ermac.

Dupport with DLC for a year then announce MKX

Make Shao-Kahn actually fun to play against.

Can we get Klassic Kostumes for all Karacters?  I mean, Ermac looks cool and all but I want to see red ninja fight blue ninja.  Or how about movie costumes?  From the first MK movie.

All of what you said plus MORE costumes!!! :)

Definitely agree.  Wait a few years and do a full fledged sequel, rather than these tiny updates.

DLC characters are fine, but I'm guessing they'll only use the ones that already have character models ingame (Kenshi, Frost, Rain, Tanya, etc) and save the big ones like Shinnok for the sequel.

I want 8 player tournament like in MK3, I want old costumes and fatalities from MK2/UMK3, plus some new ones.

Better hitboxes would be nice.

ohh yeah, maybe not an ultimate verison, but just dlc lol

Yeah, but, what made mk9 work was because they were retelling the mk storyline back when people cared about it. Another MK game that is a sequal and not "tiny updates" would go in the direction that made mk irrelevant like adding characters no one cares about, and killing off characters that people did save scorpion and subzero. For example, Jeff personally likes Striker while I liked Kabal. But when Mk4 and deception came out, they were gone and so was the popularity. So what exactly would be a new game to you? New storyline? Well history shows that anything after the storyline of mk3 (and UMK3)nobody cares about, and history also shows its not a good idea to kill characters since you would lose certain fans with each cut. 

The only thing they can do really is just add more characters and modes, and perhaps have an alternate storyline without really furthering anything. But are those just tiny updates? The OP believes that everybody getting new moves and adding new characters is tiny as well? So then WTF would actually be a new game to you?

The stories in all the MK games have generally been bad, including 1-3.  If people care about it more, it's simply because they're the ones that are remembered.  Both MK4 and Deadly Alliance had excellent stories, they just may not have been told particularly well, just as the original games weren't.  This is a chance for them to redo them with much more flair, the way they've turned the original story of holding a tournament to the death into something much more epic.

I also think they've learnt from their past mistakes and won't simply abandon the popular characters.  Other fighting games keep their full roster of characters into each sequel and simply add a few new ones, which usually helps the quality too..  MK's problem in the past was the fact they kicked out the ones everybody liked and had to come up with a whole bunch of new faces, who usually ended up being cheap imitations.  Again, mistakes they made with previous sequels don't have to be repeated with new sequels.

I just want a real goddamn tutorial. 

" @bingbangboom: Spoiler tags man! Spoiler tags! "

I know people hate anything past MK3 but I do love me some Li Mei, I hope she appears in the future. 

If MK II happens, which it probably will. I wouldn't be suprised to see a VERY different character roster. Most MK games have their character roster based on who lived and died in the previous game. Anyone who died in this game will most likely be replaced. If this is the case, I wonder if characters from MK4 onwards will be used, or mostly new characters?

Super Mortal Kombat 9 Tournament Edition Turbo

You heard it here first.

I think they'll only release costume packs and special fatalities as DLC.

I doubt they will release an "Ultimate" version. Of course I cannot be sure.

I'd like to see them ditch cheap-ass boss fights.  I don't understand how it's fun that you have to just cheese your way past it when the rest of the game is so damn good.

Ermac.

Thanks, I had always thought he was orange and not red. Guess it was never red enough for me. I hoped they would have made another named "Krimson" and he would be a vampire! Mwhahaha. "

Id like to just have this game and an occasional dlc character..

 Nether Realm wont nickle and dime us like friggen capcom i dont think.

I like the way you think. I rather get a small amount of DLC and then a full new game in 2 years or so then a small rehash in a year.  "

I think its pretty lame to actually talk about what we want from the next one. Especially seeing as this version is pretty damn meaty and just pure awesome. I mean i wouldn't mind a second X-Ray move for each character. But its not like i can't play it without them.
