Leaked for the PC, PS4, One, and Switch, is a bundle of the first three games (or probably more accurately Ultimate 3 instead of 3, but no actual confirmation of that).

Really those have been ported to so many different things at this point I kind of have trouble caring all that much? I'd be a lot more interested if it also included 4 through Armageddon just for the variety. Maybe the updated graphics / gameplay will help spice them up, I dunno.

I'd be on board for an HD clean up of 2 and Ultimate 3.

More modes in each game, how about that?

Is 4 on some shit list or something?

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

I’m mildly excited for this. I bought the Arcade Kollection years ago, and while fun it really, really exposed how dated and cheap that game was. A fresh coat of paint, and some gameplay tweaks could be fun

Also, put my name on the list of people who’d love to see 4 thru Armageddon get remasters or at least ports.

Shaolin Monks included.

I haven’t touched those games since Ultimate MK3 or MK Trilogy, I forget which I had. So I’d love an updated version, I’d definitely buy one.

I honestly never played that one

If they're doing all this work to remaster the games, at least add an MK Trilogy mode that gives us a choice of the entire trilogy's roster with the option to use the game mechanics from each instalment. The actual MK Trilogy was a real rush job.

I cannot recommend it highly enough. Truth be told it's probably my favourite MK game, period.

Yeah, Shaolin Monks is great. It's buggy and half-finished and kind of cheap in a lot of ways, and the storyline's a mess and it started off the awful Kung Lao is a douchebag thing, but it's just fun. Very replayable and it just works for what it's trying to be of being a big dumb beat-'em-up that's largely aware of how campy it is and willing to have some fun with it. And for what it is there's a lot of side stuff to do and content to discover.

But what about an updated and cleaned up version of Special Forces?

*flees before things can be thrown at me for suggesting that.

*waits on my up to snuff ports of Bloody Roar 1 and 2 and Killer Instinct 1 and 2*

But seriously though all depending on what they pack into this collection and not just oh hey looks nicer and here is Marvel Vs Capcom 3 levels of shitty netcode we threw in when we added online play ..now give us da moneyz I might be tempted to get this.

Oh and I 2nd GIVE US MK TRILOGY!

Don't bother. It's an absolutely terrible God of War clone. Nothing remarkable or fun about it.

Day 1 if that's the case. I love classic fighters.

Expecting something? From Konami? Hahahahaha.

Eighting/Raizing hasn't exactly been a hotbed of activity, either.

Being an early polygonal 3D game probably doesn't help.  Plus when it first released it was a buggy, unbalanced mess.  By the time the Gold update hit arcades that helped considerably (though some aspects still seemed janky just by way of the nature of the game), most people had already decided MK4 was a wash.  The weapons system probably didn't help.

I didn't think it was awful either, but I'd prefer to play 2 and ESPECIALLY U3.
