Ed Boon, series creator on Mortal Kombat and Injustice, likes the idea of his NetherRealm fighting games coming to Nintendo Switch in the future.

You look back at the impact that Mortal Kombat has had over the years, and there’s so much to write about. The technical breakthroughs, pissing off overzealous parents and being the benchmark for reboots. More than that though, I’ll always remember Mortal Kombat for something else: It was the one game that helped the fighting genre find its spine. And then ripped it out.

He’s one of the most iconic fighting game villains of all time, a boneheaded conqueror of Outworld who first appeared in 1993’s Mortal Kombat 2 as the final threat and had every cheap trick in the book to throw at players. Super-speed, shoulder charges which he could combo into a mighty hammer blow…man this guy was all kinds of cheese.

What if you wanted a character that was easy to master and quick on his feetin a fighting game? If you’re playing Injustice 2, then such a character has just arrived in that scene. A character who is simply the coolest. Pun intended, no regrets and come at me bro

This month will see former Robin the Red Hood, Starfire and Mortal Kombat’s Sub-Zero throw down inside of Injustice 2, but they’re just three of eight characters planned so far. So who else is on the list? If you booted up Injustice 2, you might have seen a few extra silhouettes in your character selection screen. Like a certain thunder god from another fighting game.

Despite the franchises previous film's being quite poor, fans still want more of them. That next MK just keeps getting KO'd, though hasn't quite not had a fatality performed on it just yet. Perhaps a good thing as the original script for it has potential.

This year’s nominees into the Video Game Hall of Fame have been announced, and they stretch from that one game you always find yourself clicking away on when your boss isn’t checking up on you through to a need to catch ‘em all.

Mortal Kombat co-creator and NetherRealm Studios boss Ed Boon seemed willing to “entertain” the idea of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat crossing paths if Capcom ever approached him.
