Midway stopped making arcade games atleast over a year ago...where have you
been? Why don't you keep up with the fan sites...suck as trmk.net  and
mk5.org.

I highly doubt cloning characters will happen is this game. Even though this
game has 24 characters....more than half will be new.

Also, why are you bitching about not having a joystick? Doesn't sony have
one of the best arcade style sticks out? And I know I've seen a kick ass
arcade stick for Xbox.

As far as the full 3d game experience...this is true. I guess you'll have to
wait for your own proff when E3 is covered in 2 weeks by a few of the fan
sites.
