I've just finished the shaolin monks game now. I must admit it was a nice adventure game to play, but it became very bored of it as it was very short and not many enemies to do battle with - when i say that i mean bosses.

In the next mortal kombat game, it would be nice to see this adventure mode thingy again, with ko-op mode also avalable. But instead of a short storyline it would be far more fun and enjoyable to have a massive konquest envolving every character known in the mortal kombat series.

At the start of the game, only a few characters are avalable to choose from, The rest would of course be found through konquest mode, Either search for a secret mk coin which unlocks the character in Arcade mode in the ladders, Or Konqure that character,(Simular to the ermac battle in shaolin monks title, As that was a fun and enjoyable battle) especally in ko-op mode) to unlock that character as a playable character to choose from, either in konquest or Vs, or Arcade mode.

Also having lots of secret MK coins to unlock all known mortal kombat arena's would also be great!

And allowing all MK title arcade ladders avalable to be unlocked in konquest mode would also be great. As the player has to complete all title ladders before they complete Arcade mode, when player finishes one ladder it crumbles and they move onto ladder 2, and so on and so forth. But if they havent unlocked all the ladders the player doesn't see the true ending. only an alternate ending based on the character they chose.
You could even have the classic MK1 ladder open for starters (just improved 3D models and stages simular to the previous MK title)

The Classic Puzzel, & Chess mode return (unlocked only in konquest mode)

Kombat weapons, Player should have to find MK koins to unlock weapons for the characters and arenas before they can be used or found in an arena. - simular to the fatalities, brutalities, mutalities, anamalities, Kombo-tality (mayabe a fatalitiy that has to be linked to the end of a kombo) or sexualities (some sexy finishing move)

So when looking at all that, the game menu might look something like this:

"Mortal Kombat" (Arcade Mode) - (only ladder MK1 open, with 3 character to play as, while the rest remian locked. All ladder opponents are unlocked from MK1 Title automatically, but are not playable until unlocked in konquest mode)
"Kombo Khallenge" (unlockes Via Konquest Mode, Simular to Arcade mode but with lots of opponents, and as opponents are defeated new ones jump in, so when playing for the first time there would only be one opponent, after they are killed two opponents jump into the arena, then 3 and 4 and so on and so forth. would be good on shao khans battle arena with the crowd, kinda like a tournament, last man standing Tournament, eventually when the player has beaten all known MK series characters the are known to all as Mortal Kombat champion and thus unlocks a boss character or something)
"Practice Kombat" (Practice Mode)

"Single Konquest" (one player konquest mode)
"Multi Konquest" (two or more player konquest mode)
"Load A Konquest" (just loads a konquest game)

"Puzzel Kombat" (unlockes Via Konquest mode)
"Chess Kombat" (unlockes Via Konquest Mode)
"Test Your Might" (unlockes Via Konquest Mode, could be some fun breakable game, like smash so many things before your opponent does)

"Kontent" (shows all the stuff you unlocked during konquest)
"Options" (sound, visual detail, controls, brightness, contrast etc)

And Kontent could list stuff like these:

Weapons:
------Unlockable Character weapons
------Unlockable Arena weapons
Game Modes:
------Unlocked Arcade Ladder MK2
------Unlocked Arcade Ladder MK3
------Unlocked Arcade Ladder MK4
------Unlocked Arcade Ladder MK5
------Unlocked Arcade Ladder MK6
------Unlocked Arcade Ladder MK7
------Unlocked Kombo Khallenge
------Unlocked Puzzel Kombat
------Unlocked Chess Kombat
------Unlocked Test Your Might
Characters:
------All known MK characters from all game titles!!
------Including Bosses!!
------And Have Toasty as a character the player can play as!! (maybe he can be a toaster or a piece of toast)
Arenas:
------All known MK Arenas from all game titles!!
Fatalities:
------All known MK character Fatalities, etc from all game titles!!
------Including Bosses!!
Konstumes:
------All known MK character Konstumes, and alternate Konstumes from all game titles!!
------Including Bosses!!
Character Endings:
------All known MK Character Endings, and Alternate Character Endings!!
Character Bio's:
------All known MK Character Bio's, and Alternate Bio Information!!
Photos:
------All known MK Photos from all game titles!!
Artwork:
------All known MK Artwork from all game titles!!
Movies:
------MK1 The Idea (why make a MK game) MK? Behind the scenes Movie, MK And In game Movies!!
Music Tracks:
------All known MK Music from all game titles!!
ETC

And the player could have to unlock all weapons before say baraka becomes unlocked. or all Bio's,Artwork,movies,music, and constumes before a special character becomes unlocked. or even better 100% unlocks a playable boss or something so the game % becomes 101% Completed!

Also got an idea for a character that is like a rock women, alittle slow moving, reduced attack damage (cos of her rockskin) she has kanos roll, and subzeros freeze except its rolling pebbels or rocks, other abilities could be earthquake. etc

And another character that can Mirror any move, ability, or skill used from its opponent. This guy could be usful with bosses as he could capture/mirror a boss move, ability, or skill and use that move etc when he wanted to, he could use it as many times as he wanted unless he runs out of magic points, or the move is replaced with a new move etc. He could mirror weapons as well but the opponent has to be weilding the weapon before a successful Mirror can be made. - weapon can be destoryed just as it states in nthe rulz. He can Mirror Himself, to spice up the Battle abit as well. He could be a boss!

Anyways thats enough for me, I'm going to sleep. (Off to the Dream Realms)

most consoles these days have a built in hard disk, or the new holodisk would work nicely. and the could call it MK Rebirth! or MK Resurection.

Also notice how Lame the MK shaolin monks game is with no Arcade Version, (PAL Version)

NO! I aint gonna play the game a million times just to see 5 more sentences on somebodies ending. Full endings only!

Sexuality?

There has to be more than 3 characters playable. I tell ya what if your Ed Boon then you can do what you want to the MK series. Some ideas are good but others are just really bad.

I know how about MK7 isfully customizable to the point where you can program it the way you want it to be that way everyone can be satisfied. dancing

Alright lets go back to basic's: MK7 should have 16 characters - 6 of those would be new to the MK series, 2 unlockable, 10-12 stage arenas, total life time for anyone to complete 1-2days. Maybe this sounds more fair to the public?

Some of those ideas were good but some were like just whacked out. Although it sounded cool when Trilogy boasted all the characters or the biggest roster. Look how that turned out. it was more or less just a compilation than anything. I hope MK7 aint like that.

Well I dont really care how they do the Arcade part to the game. except that they do make hard or max difficulty alittle more harder for the experianced player. othen then that I'm not fussed how it is set up, I only surgested putting in the old ladders because i have found that MK1 and MK2 and MK3 are discontinued so i can no longer buy them anywhere except ebay and they come with bonus scratches on the disc, as for MK1 i havent seen it on anything except cardtrage.

But if they make an adventure again, I really hope there are more secrets for the adverage player. My friend and myself really enjoyed playing shaolin monks together, and had some laughs and fun when fighting the bosses. But we both hope that in the next MK edition that there are more characters to unlock - via challenging them in a fight. As we thought Ermac might open up when we killed him (unfortuantly he did not:()

I still like to see adventure mode, and ko-op adventure mode, but with more secrets and unlockables. Shaolin monks took 2 days at tops to finish and find everything which was a disapointment as my friend and myself only played it for 8 hours during those two days.

As for sexuality, it seems MK series is heading up the Mature audiance rating to play the game and so it was just and idea.

It would be nice if people in this forum would mention what they liked in the list i said in my first post. at least then some serious discussion about those things might encourage the makers to favor or not favor the public based on the discussion and opinon of what everyone thinks.

some of these ideas have been done before, and playing konquest mode to unlock almost everyting in the game would take to long and lower play time in arcade mode, i do like the idea of KO-OP konquest considering i have a twin who gets mad at me when i play konquest on Deception, as for your characters, the rock girl seems too x-meny, and your mirrior character is too much like Shang Tsung.
