Does it trending really matter in the grand scheme of things? There's been many things that trend are forgotten about even a day later.

Fuuck that, give us MK9. Way more deserving.

Shaolin Monks was cool and all but lets not get carried away.

I feel dumb, but when I read the thread title I thought of the show Xaolin Showdown and was confused that Boon had worked on a game for it.

He's not brave enough to poll Mythologies: Sub-Zero.

But Shaolin Monks is a curious departure from the series, too. I wouldn't mind seeing it.

I would honestly love to see Netherrealm tackle an action game similar to the God of War reboot, either as a spin-off of MK or a new IP. It'd be really interesting to see them branch out from the traditional fighting game genre. Doing a modern reboot of Shaolin Monks would definitely be a way to do that.

I don't know if it will be coop, they may make something like God of War for all we know.

Coop is kinda half the fun of Shaolin Monks. Unless they call it "Shaolin Monk" i bet it will have coop :D also of course cutscenes as modern MK, and if you play solo you can choose characters in a similar fashion.

If they want God or War style, might as well make a new MK Mythologies :D

I couldn't get into this game, but I was playing solo so maybe that's the problem.

I'd probably still end up buying a remaster. Especially if they gave those character designs a makeover, Reptile still looks dreadful.

well he needed to give the other games a chance. Mythologies would clearly overwhelmingly win but also it needs a full 3D remake treatment

I'll take a MK9 remaster; seems like the only way we'll get playable Smoke, good guy Kabal, and tag team mode again.

I voted Shaolin Monks earlier. Would love to get that remaster or sequel since I think the MK universe is ripe for action game spin-offs and not just fighting games. Like, imagine Platinum making a Scorpion game in the style of Bayonetta.

Shaolin Monks may actually be one of my favorite MK experiences.

To the point where I wish it had a sequel, or a modern reimagining.

I would love for netherrealm to make a non-fighting game again. They are a very talented team!

Loved SM but don't really want it again.

That said I'd probably buy it anyway to try snd hope it does well enough to encourage them to make Fire and Ice.

Enhanced remaster with a shit ton of extra playable characters, pretty please? Scorpion and Sub-Zero were cool, but MK has a lot of characters whose movesets would go pretty well with Shaolin Monks' combat.

Me too. The tag mode is the best mode in any fighting game ever. Sub Zero and Scorpion fighting against two opponents was just awesome and I loved how I could play with 3 of my other friends in the same match. Such a cool concept. If they ever do some kind of Ultimate Mortal Kombat, I hope they include the multiplayer tag mode. Every fighting game should have that.

MK9 is pretty easy to find on steam key seller sites. MK Shaolin Monks is not available digitally at all. A no brainer for me.

We do not need an MK9 remaster imo. I'd rather a remaster of one NRS more unique games (shaolin monks). Remaster that plz.

Shaolin Monks and then Shaolin Monks 2! Or a different name to explain why I get to play as Cassie Cage.

People seriously want a remake/remaster of a PS3 game over a PS2 game?
Deception, Shaolin Monks, and Armageddon were fantastic in providing the classic MK experience for enthusiasts in addition to interesting world building and stories offered by explorations. The main reason I no longer care about current MK is the lazy story mode of "fight-cutscene-fight"

Shaolin Monks is so fucking overrated, do not get this massive uprising in support for it at all. I'd much rather MK9 or Deception got remastered instead.
