Why even agree to an interview if you're just going to regurgitate the press conference and dance around every question?

Madden was the game that actually had me somewhat intrigued. All the practical use of the DS ports but it plays like the "real" ones. If they can ACTUALLY deliver a 3rd party experience that's as good as the Xbox and PS3 versions then I'd consider getting one. But that's going to require waiting for reviews to flood in of one game on each of the three systems. Right now its just a promise.

The games were all well and good, but where on earth do I find the hoodies the AC guys were wearing and how much do I need to pay for them?!?

I know Nintendo have made so much money off Wii and DS these last few years, but surely this console's controllers alone are going to be horrifically expensive to manufacture and will cost the consumer a lot as well?
 
Then again you can get a phone with a mediocre camera and of course a screen for almost nothing these days so who knows.

@CrimsonNoir: True enough, they did say War wasn't at full strength in the first game and you're still powerful enough to tear angels in half, so they could easily do the same here with Death.

See I was convinced they wouldn't let you play as Death because the accompanying comic/general mythos has portrayed him as invincible, healing instantly from War's sword and then cutting off his arm. Heck, why am I complaining? He's the coolest looking of the three non-playable horsemen, bring him on!

I didn't hate Raiden as much as most in MGS2 but he was kinda weak, but I loved that they responded to criticism that he was too feminine by making him hyper-manly in MGS4 with the super deep voice. The child in me is always going to want to attack bad guys with swords instead of guns, so I was kinda excited for this game, but oh well.

@xhavoc86: That's right, Kahn like empowers her using Tsung doesn't he. I'm guessing they repeat the moment in 4 where Scorpion learns the truth and becomes one of the forces of good again. And pretty much anyone can be resurrected, I mean Quan Chi brought back like 6 heroes at the end to fight Raiden... though they were all blacked out and lame. Still, no deaths in MK are permanent.

@xhavoc86: Sure, but Quan Chi is playable and he's an MK4 dude, and Shinnok appears at the end. But you're right, they could do what remains of Outworld now that Kahn is gone forming an uneasy alliance with Earthrealm against Quan Chi and Shinnok. I've gone blank on what happens to Shang Tsung in story mode, but if you think about it, Kahn and Liu Kang are dead already, which was their first step, so in many ways they're ahead of the game if they choose to team up.

 WARNING: STORY MODE SPOILERS
 
I was thinking about this myself in a "where do they go from here way". Now I don't want a sequel anytime soon, but come on, if you sell over a million copies of a game you're going to make a sequel, that's just the business.
 
But where DO they go? The ending of story mode clearly sets up a re-telling of MK4. Now I kind of enjoyed it because I'm just an MK die-hard and am in the small minority that love Quan Chi and Shinnok. Tanya was made good in Deception, and Reiko was alright. I'm not a fan of Fujin, Kai, or Meat however. The story is a good one though, an Elder God breaking free from his prison and killing other gods. The combined powers of Quan Chi and Shinnok also allow pretty much anyone to be resurrected so all those pesky main character deaths from story mode can of course be undone.
 
Unfortunately it seems not everyone likes Quan Chi, and can't forgive Shinnok being a playable boss who didn't actually shapeshift and was no more challenging than the other fighters. But that will be fixed, I mean look at how much the difficulty of Kahn was ramped up! As characters I think both have nice rich backstories and some cool abilities. Quan Chi is a beast in MK9.
 
But if they don't redo MK4 (and perhaps beyond) then what can they do? You can't just do another story only involving those same 30 characters. At some point, new ones are going to have to be designed, but the backlash against almost every character created after MK3 is huge. Some were just uninspired like Kobra, Kira, and some were just silly, Bo' Rai Cho. But almost all the others were just acceptable. Ashrah, Mavado, Havik, Frost etc had nothing really wrong with them, it's just people couldn't accept them the same way they did the characters from the original trilogy. Skarlett looks like she plays well, but I too have that disconnect when it comes to her, she just doesn't fit.
 
So if they can't just start creating new characters then they HAVE to remake 4 right? Now I'd be more than fine with that as I said, but what then? Deadly Alliance and Deception? I don't think so. 
 
Anyone got thoughts?
