Flash: Mortal Kombat 9 will be bloody, violent
by Nicholas Deleon on July 25, 2008

The fine gents over at Kotaku spoke to Ed Boon, the Godfather of the Mortal Kombat series, who says that the next game in the series, Mortal Kombat 9, will be bloodier, more violent, and more Mortal Kombat than ever before.

In other words, it’s the Mortal Kombat you fell in love with, all those years ago.

Can we all agree that MKII was the bestt? It all sorta fell apart from there, though seeing MK4 in the arcade for the first time was pretty cool. Granted, I was 11 at the time, but I remember being wowed by it.

  • no # 7 was the best not 2

  • no # 7 was the best not 2

  • mortal kombat 2 sucked

    • there all awsome but mk4 was the most bloody.
      so that means great graphics and a whole lotta blood and guts will be by miles the absoloute best of all time. i hope it comes out soon. im dying to get a look at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Will Tremor be in Mortal Kombat 9?

  • What the hell? #7 was not the best, it was the worst… MKD (6) and down were all great, in the 1990’s Mortal kombat Trilogy was best, MK2 is cool, but not the best…

    Trilogy wins, Flawless Victory…..FATALITY!

  • MKII is the best of the series followed by probably MK: Deception, and MK vs DCU. The “trilogies”, “gold”, and other filler games are not true installments in the series. The series for the uninitiated goes like this: MK1, MK2, MK3/UMK3, MK4, MK:DA (MK5), MK:D (MK6), MK:A (MK7), MKvDC (MK8)

  • The best was UMK3 from there on nothing went right.
    If there is going to be a MK9, it better be the one we are waiting for or else dont even bother; by the way the mortal kombat 2 the movie sucks!!!

  • Man Mortal kombat sholing monks was my fav
    but thats just my opinon some people like old school or new school but its doseit matter long if u r playing mortal kombat and enjoying it.
    Everything is fine.
    And I cant wait for MK9
    I think its gonna be great.

  • Does anybody think they should have tremor in this game? I do.

  • Mk trilogy was the best that took my video game virginity

  • Every mk game below mk 4 was the best! bring back the 2d! like street fighter did! no 3d plz

  • For the next Mortal Kombat 9 they should make something gooder, like make them hit up in the airs and some the MK Character need some power fighting… I was kind of thinking you should make MK VS DC II and add some more character and re-edit some fighting move skills so yea that’s what I agree..

    • Trilogy kicks ass!

      And yeah, as someone said before: bring back 2D (or 2.5D). 3D killed off a lot of fighting games.
      Mortal vs DC? WTF?!! It’s like a bad joke. Scorpion vs Spiderman? ROTFL! Sucks! These actions were the second things which ruined the franchise like babality, friendship etc.

  • i agree that 2 was the ice breaker, but i prefered ultimate 3 and shaolin monks

  • MKII Was the BEST!

  • Your all on drugs, MK is the best video game series ever! You can take any of the games in the MK series and it will curbstomp any other game. We are blessed to have any of them, so stop ur bitching, start praising.
    And it’s not fair too rate the movies so badly, their budget wasn’t so great, & they just created the VG only a few years prior.
    They will have too prove themselves with the Mortal Kombat: Devastation movie, because now they have no excuse. And I personally hope to see an animality. I
    I BLEED THE MK DRAGON

  • I think they will have 20 characters in MK9, because I saw 20 question marks in the MK9 page on this one site called MK Komplete strategy guide. I hope one of them is Tremor.

    Also I think MK:DA was the best.

    • lmao! u luv tremor dnt u? u wanna marry dat nigga da way u sound.

      • SK TragicOne I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW You didn’t have every MK game if you never heard of Tremor. He is from this game called MK Special Forces. It is said that game is the worst out of all MK games and Tremor is one of the bosses of that game. He could be the new Scorpion since he looks exactly like him except he is a brown ninja. You all should check out his fatalities in Mk project on youtube.

        P.S. I know almost everything about Mortal Kombat and every character.

  • you can all suck my….

    mortal kombat is a great series. you shouldn’t be breaking it down to which one is better. remember; it was originally a one game project, and look where we are now. they r all great. there is not one better than the other. the game doesn’t change, the weapons and graphics do!!!!

  • i think well all agree tht mk vs dc was shit whycan they bring heroes in stupid i say and the whole thing with liu kangs fatality the arcade machine thing the worst fatality ever, all the mortal kombats are about blood guts gore and kicking ass not a sissy joke

  • Mk 4 is the best man quan chi is wicked and sub zero and scorpion kick ass. then mk2 cause it’s a classic then deception is good cause of the konquest and hara kiri.

  • Mortal Kombat Armageddon was the best. I shocked that people saying that mortal kombat 2 was the best. Mortal Kombat 2 sucks balls.

  • notammargartet - May 2nd, 2009 at 3:23 am PDT

    Armageddon sucked balls. MK2 was the best, but MKvDC was a [very] welcome return to form. MK9 will probably be the best because of the improvements in the gameplay they added in MKvDC.

    • I Think Armageddon was the best of Mk games i have played……………I liked the powers and the 13 fatalities if u are capable of doing it……..
      Mainly the Combos were Awesome……..Ofcourse the conquest mode ould have been better but…….the arcade mode was…awesome …………..i always say…Scorpion and Kensi rules in MK7….try alll the combos…of them….u willl begin liking Armageddon

  • Mortal Kombat Trilogy IS the best MK GAME by far!

  • It does not matter what MK game is the best. If Ed Boon says which MK game is the best, it would matter to him.

  • OK is there people still into Mortal Kombat anymore?

  • I think mk4 and mk7 was the best of all the mkseries…..Iam adie hard Fan of Kensi and Scorpion.Try to give both of them some more mind blogging attacks and some good Fatalities..in MK9.
    Scporpion has teh best attacks in MK7.

  • PEOPLE STOP SAYING WHAT MK GAME IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!! ALL THOSE GAMES ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!

    AND DON’T BOTHER SAYING SOMETHING MEAN TO ME!!!!!!!!

  • MORTAL KOMBAT SHAOLIN MONKS WAS THE BEST
    THE GAME PLAY WAS KILLER
    GREAT STORY
    THE ENDING WAS COOL
    EVERYTHING A GAME NEED

    MIDWAY ROCKS!!!!

  • HEY HARPREET, DID YOU READ WHAT I SAID?!!!!!!!!! I SAID STOP FREAKIN SAYING WHAT GAME IS BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

    F*** ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • they r all great, ed boon and midway rock!!!!! if they didnt make anymore games then u would b sad

  • Fuck erbdy dat said any mortal game wit a number nxt to it was gud. if it dnt hav a number by it, den dats da top mortal kombats, includin trilogy. shaolin monks. best 1 ever! da need to make another mortal kombat like dat. i gurantee da will cash out on dat. fo real. SWAGG OUT! and noob-zero, go wack off in a conner. i say wat i wanna say.

  • EVERYBODY SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SK TragicOne I DON”T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU WANNA SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I SAID STOP SAYING SOMETHING BAD TO ME YOU DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Has anyone went to Mortal Kombat wiki lately?
    In the MK9 page they might have Jade, Liu Kang, Cyrax, Sector, Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, and Jax. They might either take some of them them out of the game or just leave them there.

    They also say MK9 might be the last MK game ever.

  • SK TragicOne, I say you are the meanest and worst person that comments on this site!! Leave everyone alone!!!! BTW The game that Tremor was on was the worst MK game ever called MK:Special Forces. It was an adventure game on the original Playstation, and Tremor was one of the bosses of that game. Also he was in this MK Project thing on youtube.

    But I agree that he seems like a pretty cool character though.

  • OK whoever typed “So stop spreading rumors stupid MK Fan” on wiki, it really did say that Ed said it could be the last MK game in the series HONEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • mortal kombat finatic - June 18th, 2009 at 8:24 pm PDT

    mortal kombat is one of the best fighting games i have ever played. I love 123 umk3, mkt, mkm. I think the 2d were the best. Holy cow lets stop beating around the bush. I know we all want street fighter vs mortal kombat. EPIC. when will it happen. Dont get me wrong i love mk vs dc. but i think mk should go back to 2d.
    MORTAL KOMBAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey mortal kombat finatic I completely agree with you 100%. MORTAL KOMBAT KICKS ASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i blew Shoa Khan away on UMK3 with unmasked Sub-Zero(I owened that game) But it wasnt that EZ well not as EZ as Imade it sound just now

    P.S.an EZ way to beat motaro is jump kicks

  • hey Noob-Zero did you know that sub-zero and noob are brothers

  • on UMK3 there is an unmasked sub-zero becuase sub-zero refused to take part in turning the clan to soulless machines so he was marked to death by his own clan and came back to destroy his can unmasked

  • Noob-zero: STFU TLKIN TO ME U HOMOSEXUAL!
    UNKNOWN: MIND YO OWN DAMN BIZZNESS! LEAVE YO COMMENTS TO DA MK SUBJECT NT TO ME U HOE. AND IT IS TRUE. IT MITE B DA LAST MK GAME EVA. KEYWORD: “IT MITE”.

  • mortal kombat finatic - June 23rd, 2009 at 6:29 pm PDT

    umk3 owner dont you think that the last mortal kombat should be epic. Should it be mk vs sf. mk vs tekken. mk vs kof. Midway should really consider having a vote on which game should fight mk.
    MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!! btw i took all my mk games and beat them under 1 nd 30 min

  • UMK3 Owner: Yes I know Noob and Sub Zero are brothers and did you that Noob was the original Sub Zero that Scorpion killed? His soul was cast down to the Netherrealm and original Sub Zero transformed into Noob Saibot.
    SK Tragic One: SHUT… THE… FUCK… UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW MANY FREAKIN TIMES DO I HAVE SAY QUIT SAYING BAD THINGS TO ME YOU MUTHA FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SK Tragic One, you piss me off like way too bad and I don’t like it when people is says bad names to me. Look im sorry but i just want this to stop.
    If you people want to say what MK game is best go ahead.

    MK9 sounds like it will be a bad, bloody, and gory, game. Just the way I like it. In case it will be the final MK game ever, lets all hope that this game will definitely be the best MK game of all.

  • I only buy Mortal Kombat 9 when they go back to their roots.

    2d Fotodigital realistic characters in HD backgrounds.

    Only the true characters from MK1 till MK3. including a storyline based on the 3 chapters.

    No Shinnok shit ect ect.

    18+ Fatality’s and Friendships with a dark humor.

    • mortal kombat finatic - June 26th, 2009 at 4:10 pm PDT

      I totaly agree with you scorpiona. MK9 should be 2d. I wouldnt say just mk1,2,3 chars. the epic thing to do is to put everybody in mka in as 2d. have every single level known to every mk game. im not sure if this good but put mini games in. Like put in mortal kombat mythologies, special forces, nd maybe trilogy. maybe not trilogy bc there is every character. MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!

  • mortal kombat finatic - June 28th, 2009 at 2:03 pm PDT

    hey have you ever heard of DAN KLECKO

  • mortal kombat finatic - June 28th, 2009 at 7:03 pm PDT

    some guy that my friend asks ppl. BUT NOBODY ANSWERED MY DAMN QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO SHOULD MK VERSE. IF WERE TO HAPPEN.

  • I think MK vs DC took place after MK2. If they made a sequel to MK vs DC, they could probably make it take place before or after MK3 and they would add the characters from MK3.

    But I doubt that MK would verse DC or another team again.
