Looks good to me (lifelong Mortal Kombat fan - even the movies)

I wonder if the April release is just for the US or if its for UK/Australia too.

I can't wait for the Kreate-A-Fighter mode. I've been wanting to do that since the first MK.

 

[I_Dont_Know859]

i hope you can play online like the other versions.

 

[coleman]

That would be amazing, to be able to create your own character and play with him online against other created characters.

sorry to burst your bubble but...there will be no online for this game.

GS: Is there any online functionality in the game?

EB: No. The online components of the Wii were not ready for us when we would have needed them in the development cycle.

Bubble bursted. But thanks for that, now I won't be disappointed if I bought the game and expected online play later on.

 

[kauaiian]

well at least that kreate a fighter and kreate a fatality will be very intersting

It seems like the Wii version will be better. I might actually get it even though there is another MK game is coming out later this year.

i have heard that this MK is online or is that just a roumour?

Can you not read? On second thought let me not say anything more. This game looks to be great but it is lacking in some areas. Look it up on Wikipedia and read what it says. I think I'm gonna wait for the next MK assuming there is one. Somewhere along the line the series got a little to big for itself. I like a lot of the new characters but some of them have no point all. And then whenever I get an MK game and beat it the endings either disappoint me or confuse me. Smash Bros is where the real fighting is!

All-New Customized Kreate-A-Fighter Mode:
For the first time ever in a Mortal Kombat game players will be able to use a Kreate-A-Fighter feature to create and define their fighter’s look, abilities and personality with a deep level of customization and take that unique fighter online.

Is it just me or do any of you read "take that unique fighter online"?

^We'll have to wait and see I hope it is online seeing how this would be a perfect way to wait for the new Super Smash to be out.

I've just watched a HD interview with Ed Boon. There is some hope for online in the future...

"...The Wii version doesn't have online fighting, the infrastructure wasn't really in place yet. If it was, we would have been all over it because as you know Armageddon for the other versions (PS2 and Xbox) was online, so once it's available we're gonna be all over it"
