There will be no Mortal Kombat for the Wii U
Nintendo have had problems with the Mortal Kombat franchise since the early 90s.
According to Ed Boon said there is a 0.0% chance of the Super Nintendo Mortal Kombat games making their way to the Wii U's Virtual Console. Speaking with Gametrailers back in 2011, Boon showed interest in the Wii U's GamePad controller, but this didn’t guarantee that he wanted to make a move on the idea.
This recent Tweet doesn't necessarily say we won't ever see Mortal Kombat on the Wii U, just that we will never see the original Mortal Kombat games on the console's Virtual Console.
This is pretty discouraging, since we did see the latest version of Mortal Kombat re-claim its title as the king of gore in 2011. Within this game lied the fudamentals, that many of us as gamers remembered; and loved as kids well on into our adulthood. I would like to sincerely know why Ed Boon doesn’t want to keep the trend going, especially because this new generation needs to experience Mortal Kombat.
Hopefully Mortal Kombat 9 will get a Wii U port, just as Mortal Kombat Armageddon did for the classic Wii. The only problem I can forsee is that we will not see DLC, since Nintendo would never allow Mario, and company to have fatalities, or have them executed. But if it does get ported I would hope we receive a date for Mortal Kombat 10 afterwards.
