Im wondering if anyone knows if midways plans on releasing MK4 and UMK3 on its next "midways arcade treasures" (MAT4)?
Perticularly UMK3, why wouldnt midway release it on an acracde treasures disc? why didnt they put it in MAt3?
In MAT3, the theme was racing games, perhaps in MAT4 it could be fighting, maybe include killer instinct 2 in addition to MK4 and UMK3. Any other classic midway fighters midway has yet to emulate?

Im also wondering if theres anyway to convince midway to realease a "mortal kombat arcade treasures". Which would be a collectors disc that contains every MK ever released in the arcades all on one disc: MK1, MK2, mK3, UMK3, MK4. (where mk2,mk3 would be re-emulated, without the bugs this time.) Id software has already done this with its doom classics. I think midway would be really stupid to turn down this idea. I say we petition for it!!!

I doubt it since UMK3 will be on the special edition of MK:A for the PS2(not online) and UMK3 is coming out soon as a download for the 360(and this version WILL be playable online)

Can't wait.

I haven't heard anything as far as what will be on Midway Arcade Treasures 4.

I mean, midway still has MK4 to do something with. Id say the logical thing would be to put it on a future treasures disc, and why let it be alone? pair it with UMK3.

I also think its really stupid to package UMK3 as a bonus for the PS2 MKA like they made an MK1 as a bonus disc. The MK1 bonus that came with the special edition MKD sucked in the fact that you couldnt tweak with any options menu like you could in the MAT2 MKs. there was no options menu. Youre always playing MK1 on the same difficulty, you cant change it. You cant choose to have a finite amount of continues vs infinite. I Like having options!!! and also the music in place gates stage (the one with the budha statue) is way too low, this isnt what I would call arcade perfect as ed boon claimed.

And plus, I think the classic MK games deserve far more respect than to be packaged as some bonus disc!!!! the disrespected MK1 by doing that with the MKD. THey could have atleast made it a featurette on the actual MKD disc, not a bonus disc.

An even better set up would be:

MK1
Mk2
MK3
UMK3
MK4
MK4 gold

Although mk4 gold and MKT werent released in arcades, so I dont think they could put it in the next arcade treasures release. But it would go good in the "mortal kombat treasures collection" disc I suggest MIdway should do. I say we petition for it!!!!!

for the next arcade treasures include the above MKs and then They should throw in NBA jam TE along with revolution X and Terminator 2: judgement day!!! was Killer instinct 2 made by midway?

Killer Instinct 2 was by Rare in conjunction with Nintendo. Midway had nothing to do with it.

FIX'D

Because Killer Instinct had nothing to do with Midway except making the arcade cabinets and distrubuting them and nothing to do with the game or owning any part of it.

They should make a box set with most of the MK games, Like the Street fighter anniversary collection
