Okay.  I've never been a big Mortal Kombat fan.  I don't dislike the game, I just never got into it.  I have my copy reserved, however, mainly because I'm super intrigued by the MK Wii control scheme.  From what you've heard/read/watched, what are your thoughts on Mortal Kombat: Armageddon?  Are you a purist that hates the fact that the controls will be different?  Have you never thought of playing MK until now?  All observations, thoughts, rants, and diatribes are welcome.

The only Mortal Kombat I was into was MK3 on Genesis. That's when I was really into fighting games knowing all the fatalities, babalities, animalities, etc. I haven't really been interested in MK coming to the Wii except thinking about playing as Scorpion; mostly because I'm afraid how the controller and I will want to adapt the the style of gameplay. I'm sure the game will look and feel good, but as far as myself not even wanting to rent/buy newer MK games, I will find myself unenthusiastic about wanting to try and master this version.

if its anything like dbz it will be fine..... the controls

yeah, i hope that it's not TOO easy to master. and remember, you can make you're own character, fatalaty etc.. so that should be pretty interesting. after the last MK game (shaolin monks), i was a bit put off by the MK series, but this one looks good, because of the awesome line of characters as well as new stuff.

indeed we shall

Yuck. A port to the Wii.

I'm uninterested whatsoever in this because a lot of ports are just gross on the Wii. Original games are what will thrive on this console, not games that have already been out for months with a quicky control scheme. I'd be surprised if this game even sells well on the Wii, since many hardcore already have it and play with a joystick like in arcades.

I'd really like another game like Teleroboxer (remember that old Virtual Boy game at all?) on the Wii. First-person robotic boxing with a unique set of controls. They've already seen what won't work in a boxing game with Wii Boxing, now they need to fiddle with what would work.
