The last thread was getting chunky, so it's time for a new one.

An article about the never completed Mortal Kombat 1.5. I'm always fascinated by these strange alternative paths a long running series could have gone down.

With all the zany turns that the MK franchise has taken, I'm honestly surprised they never tried their hand at kart racing. Putting a gory parody of Mario Kart as a minigame and calling it Nitro would be the perfect thing to breathe life into the flailing MK1.

They did; MK Armageddon has a kart racing minigame titled Motor Kombat.

Color me surprised then. Maybe bringing it back won't bolster MK1's chances after all.

But enough derailment, have a Tekken 8 collab with the new Atelier game because why not.

MK1's situation is quite curious, indeed. It sold more than SF6 and Tekken 8, which should indicate it was successful, yet it seems WB Games may cancel its Season 3. Sure, apparently Season 2 didn't do as well as they expected, but still, it's not like the overall project failed.

Oh well. Anyway, the Tekken 8/Atelier collab is unexpected, but looks nice nevertheless.
