I really don't get Midway. Mortal Kombat is long since dead and buried. Sure the series got better with DA, the Deception was really top-notch. Armageddon was a great send off for the fans, but the series died with 4. Don't even get me started on MK vs DC Universe.
This is Midway's chance to put a viable new game on the market, which they want to make a yearly thing, by the way just like the Smackdown vs. Raw series. Wrestling games are pretty much on their way out in a mainstream sense; this can be best seen with SVR. The games have been flopping for a few iterations.
Well, I think I will still try out Impact, but just for a rental.
