The side games that are already confirmed like Puzzle kombat, MK Chess and Konquest sound really great. But I think it could use a lot of more game modes. I know what a lot of you are thinking right now. Dont spend too much time on side games because the actual gameplay will suffer from it. And I couldnt agree more but there are a lot of game modes that can be based on the actual fighting and would not take too much time too ad to the game. Here is what I think should be added besides those three already confirmed:
STORY MODE: This is almost like the classic arcade mode but then you would only fight opponent that will fit your chosen characters story as you are making your way towards the final boss. For example: if you choose Sonya you would fight members of the Black Dragon and the Red Dragon during your way towards the final boss. You would also fight only EVIL characters and none of the GOOD characters.
ARCADE MODE: This would be just like the classic arcade mode so that you fight a number of random characters without paying attention to their story or alignment until you reach the final boss.
SURVIVAL: Well this mode speaks for itself, just kill off as many opponent without getting knocked down yourself.
TOURNAMENT MODE: Just ad a 16 player tournament mode, not that Im playing this game with sixteen people a lot but it would really help for people who are organizing a small tournament.
TAG MODE: Just an extra mode where you can do some good 2 on 2 fighting. This mode could use only the closed arenas witch have no death traps or ring outs. And would also be great for 4 player multiplayer on and XBOX (witch has four controller ports) or make use of the PS2 multitap.
ENDURANCE: Just as they did in MK3, choose a bunch of characters and fight. When one dies the next one jumps into the screen until you ran out of characters.
WEAPON MODE: This one I made up myself. I dont know if it already is used in a fighting game but I dont know one that does. In this mode you choose your character and then you choose your weapon (any weapon that is in the game). And then you only fight with your weapon, you cannot use special moves or other fighting styles, just your chosen weapon. As an extra game mode I think this will be nice.
This is all I can think of right now but all of these modes are based on the actual fighting of the game so it would not take too long to create and would really expand the gameplay and replay value of the game. Post here your thoughts on existing game modes, game modes from other fighting games or your own created ones that you think would be a great asset to the game.
