Huh, I've fought in most of the unlockable stages.

I knew Khameleon would be in the Wii Version, Just like the 64 Version of Trilogy, its basically the same as Armageddon,but I wonder if she will be Creatable on other Versions.

Well I just saw the interview and it seems like future MK games might be made for the wii.

So get the wii if you want to play future MK games. Perhaps you were hesitant to get the wii because you thought MK would not be on it.

There is also a virtual console. Good interview all around, I just wish they get the Shau Hemerrick video up and running. Oh well, you can't get everything you want in life, can you?

why is this in the "mortal kombat games: 1992-200" discussion thread aswell?

It really should go into Pocket Kombat Discussion as well. I put it in Mortal Kombat Games: 1992-2000 because of the fact that I was able to play and report on the PSN version of MKII.

Although he said the buttons would be used for standard attacks, I'm still curious exactly how this will be implemented. In the demonstration video he's definitely got his finger on the d-pad at all times. I wonder if the 4 standard attacks are mapped to the 4 directions. Then Z, C, A and B could be used for blocking, changing stances, etc. Good interview though.

So I take it they'll be making a new strategy guide which gives them a chance to completely fix the mess they made.

ima laugh my ass off
when
khameleons crappy as hell in gameplay haha

I agree but sadly you're only wasting your breath.There will always be the ungrateful people who couldn't in their lives do what Boon and his team have done over the years with the MK franchise....

He could make the "perfect" game even though no such thing exists and there would still be "blah, blah, blah, wahhha, wahh it's not like tekken, no khameleon, no 4th costume whhaaaa" please....

I agree prodigy004, people should just like MK for what it is thru it's ups and downs or stop claiming to be a fan because a true fan supports something during the ups and downs, not ONLY the ups.

I'm happy to hear about this news, Khameleon in the wii version.Sweet!

I hope they don't ditch the Male version for her, I mean with no online play and all.They should both be in it.But not a big deal, good for Nintendo fans though.

The DS MK game also perks my interest.

All right, I've FINALLY gotten the Shaun Himmerick video interview up on the news posting. I apologize for the delay in getting it online; that video just did not want to get encoded. First the video import got corrupted and needed to be tossed out, and then the entire project file got corrupted and had to be deleted while I was working on the audio sync.

(And just think, right before Shaun started the interview, he kinda laughed over the fact that I was capturing audio using a different system than the video capture. It saved me here, that's for sure...)

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the video version of the interview.

Ed Boon called me last weeked and said he wanted to purchase the rights to my "Ultimate Mortal Kombat II" game concept for the NDS. It's floating around a few places on the web. We made an agreement and now his team is developing it.

Really? Wow I guess I'm the king dutchland then. Anyway, This is sounding cool. The only other thing I could ask for is having a generic brown Ninja named Tremor in every level of Konquest just standing around and a weapon you can use to kill him with!

YEAH. well looks like i'm buying MK:A again but hey i don't mind. maybe if mk:a goes platinum for ps2 & classic for xbox they'll put khameleon in that version (crosses fingers). that would mean she would be in all vesion's of the game on all systems not just a nintendo 64/Wii exclusive.

I always miss updates here because I was playing THotD III too much, but I'm glad that the MK Team put Khameleon back and making a DS title.

finally Khameleon comes out of hiding. Although no online play still is a HUGE let down.

Can't wait to see what Khameleon will look like. This way I can alter my pre-existing Khameleon KAK to reflect her new style. I'm so glad Boon's seen the light and will complete the roster as promised.

Okay, thanks to ]{0MBAT's hard work, we now have transcripts of the interviews available on the news posting. Enjoy!

That's interesting you say that actually cuz that's what I was thinking at first.
What it looks like to me after watching both of the vids is that they're just trying to make Mk available to any system at any time. Especially in the future and on successful consoles....handheld or otherwise...

It's a marketing technique by term in slang we call....."Flood tha Block". With so much "new" going around, and with MkA coming out recently, the idea is basiclly "everybody will buy something from us". Ha! Nice.

"Sell the new game first cuz that's what people are thirsty for, and while that's happening, set up the "second wave of product" and release everything to everyone." The break we had before MkA undoubtedly paid off. Haha! I couldn't see that then, but I understand what happened//is happening now.
==================

About the new Mk(8), I think...hmmm...

I have a better understanding about the new consoles and such now, I'm not too sure there's a way they can screw this next Mk game up....Especially becasue the MkTeam is so much more established by now....And these new systems are just THAT capable....

I mean look at what they're doing. Listening to the fans now. NOW....?
Idea shopping, probably gauging where peoples' expectations are of a new game are. Using these ported games and releasing them. Testing and such....TESTING......?

I like what I just saw more than what I just heard....Y'know?
==================

I don't really care about Khameleon except to say that she looked like a cool character in the past but I never played with her, And I'm glad you guys got her in there. I really didn't think she would be in...I was wrong. Sry to anybody I might have "doomsday'd" over it...


Anyway...hmmm.....

Hey Ultimate Ryu can you link us to this concept you're talking about? would be cool to give it a read! Cheers

So will Khameleon be getting a bio released aswel??
