Fighting Engine:
One of the things that's kind of bothered me about the newer MK games (MKDA, MKD) is the slower pace of the fighting. Back in the classics and up to MKGold, there was this fast pace fighting with your own combos and stuff, that I kind of prefered. Although I love MKD as it is, I miss the old fast paced fighting style of the originals.

Konquest:
I think the Konquest mode of MKD was just a perfect addition to the game. The newer MK games need something like that, but for more characters, not just a new one. But not just like in MKDA where you're learning combos, that was shit. It'd be great if every character had a konquest mode though! That way you're not making things like MK-Mythologies Sub-Zero, and just incorporating it right into the game, and you'll find out all about that character's past and how they wound up where they currently are.

Krypt:
The Krypt concept is getting old, just because a lot of stuff you unlock is concept art and all. Make them worth while things. A lot more new levels, a lot more movies or something, characters etc. No offense, but I didn't get all those koins to see some concept are and members of the MK Team. :P

Characters:
As far as characters go, I'd love to see ALL of the classics return, not so many new ones. That's just me though. WAY more additional costumes though, so they all look unique, but also could have that original feel to them. One thing though, I was SO disappointed that Smoke was tagged up with Noob. If you're going to have all characters, don't half ass them. Make each one their own! And Meat! Don't leave him out! Give him a full out story and stuff though this time. Classic characters are WAY better than these new ones they come out with...So less new crappy characters, and more of the oldies back.

Bosses:
Make the bosses cool. MKD, MK2-3 had great bosses. But Shinnok was just...Well he was in the player select screen right off the bat for bog's sake!! He wasn't that special at all. The deadly alliance was the same, just normal characters. Bring back Shao Kahn!! Make Havok's ending one of the official ones so the Kahn has returned! Or, if you're not going to do that, have a new boss that's big, bad, and looks like a boss!

Sub-Bosses:
What happened to the sub-boss being bigger and more difficult to beat (sometimes) than the last level boss? I mean, Noob-Smoke was ok 'cuz they're a tag team but still not good enough. You gotta have someone like Goro (but please, don't bring Goro back again...) as a sub boss.

Finishers:
Each character should have:
-3 fatalities
-2 Hara-kiris
-1 babality
-1 brutality
-1 anamality
-1 stage fatality (different for each stage)


Levels:
More levels, including the classic ones like in MKD, but have them all interactive. I was hoping to see a 3D pit like in MK1, so that if you're hit the wrong way you're gone right off the bat, or something to that effect. (Or to make it more fair, have the person grab onto the edge and climb back up until they're beaten completly).

Extras:
Like I said for the Krypt thing, don't have useless extras we don't want. The more levels and alt. costumes you have the more of those you can put into the Krypt or have to get some way else. And cheat menu's! Least we forget cheat options. There's no game shark for Xbox, and I don't know if there's codes on the game shark for PS for MKDA and MKD.

Kollector's Editions:
Like with MKD, have special Kollector's editions, and have some great stuff in there. Either playable versions of the older games, or something else. Maybe a poster or comic or something, I'm not sure.

Game Endings:
Movie endings! Not pictures and text/narration! Well, those aren't bad, but I'd prefer to see video endings, like with MK Gold. This isn't a 'must have' in my eyes but I'd greatly prefer it. And perhaps multiple endings for each character. Like one for each alt. outfit or something, that either continues the ending or something to that effect.

Mini-Games:
I'd love to see test your might brought back. Test your sight was ok, but not that great. Puzzle Kombat and Chess Kombat did nothing for me though. So if there are mini games, make them decent. I think though that improved MK Konquest will be sufficient though.

More for Difficulty level:
I think the higher difficulty level you go, the more you should unlock. Not that I can beat it on very difficult or anything but that way it makes it this much more harder to unlock stuff. But then again, I'm sure you'd have a lot of angry people who can't beat it on those skill levels. So perhaps make it so that beating the game on higher skill levels is just one way of unlocking things (like with what Dead or Alive Ultimate did for unlocking all costumes.)

Female outfits = skimpier!:
Not an important thing, but as a guy fan of MK, I'd like to see every female character having something like Mileena's alt. costume in MKD. wink I don't know what guy wouldn't get a kick out of this! Well, I do but I'll refrain from mentioning them. ^_^; Again, skimpier costumes for female characters ONLY! I'd hate to see the dragon king in a thong or something to this effect. >_<;;;;


That's about all I can think of for now. I covered just about everything...*sigh* the time I put into my posts, it's no wonder I don't have a girl friend. x_X Other than Frost and that girl in the US of course. peace

I totally agree with the 3 fatalities you mentioned as well as the konquest for each character.
Arcade mode could be a konquest mode for each character, where you navigate the realms and battle your way up the ladder.

this is my Alternate Costume wish:
every alternate has different special moves, and a different weapon, to make it more exciting getting one happy

I don't know if I would enjoy being restricted to what moves based on a costume. However, if special moves were depending on parts of the costume, such as a razor hat would be a projectile, a cape could mean a jump/teleport attack and/or gauntlets or weapon for special moves, that could be customized, that would be cool, but if it was sub-zero with mask has ground freeze, and helmet with no mask has normal freeze, I would rather have one subby with all the moves.

Though I don't care for the idea very much at all, I think it would be cool if depending on the costume the special moves were the same, but each costume would deteriorate form battle damage differently, like if you had a hat, it could get knocked off. If you had a sash or cloak it could get torn off or ripped, etc...
