They gotta top putting Scorpion in the last game, right?
There will be a small vocal backlash, but they don't care. Both will sell well. :/
I'm bummed about it, as so many DLC spots could have meant some really cool superhero crossovers. This is the one game where I'd want to see those kind of guests. Maybe they're saving the crazy stuff for the second season when it needs a shot in the arm. If there is another season. 9 is already a lot of brand new characters. I know they said they would have more DLC than any past game, but 9 is already that. They promised the biggest launch roster ever, which was true, but just barely. They've fulfilled their promises with these, so who knows.
I'm curious what's next. Will they keep their 2-year cycle? I think a horror icon game would be cool. Do we need another MK game in 2 years? I dunno. I feel like a "super" edition would suffice for a while, so they can bring something new to the next MK game, like say better animation. (ducks under desk).
