Nope.  It won't happen.  Not in this century.

To make an "improved" Mortal Kombat is admitting just how pathetic
the home versions really are.

Nintendo won't allow blood without Acclain losing it's SNES licence.

However, perhaps things will change after MK2 arrives in the arcades
(an MK2 home version could fix all the problems of the original
without Acclaim having to admit how they screwed up).
