I agree that Nintendo will never go anywhere with this thing.  Not only 
can't the SNES handle it, but they'll have to tone down the fatalities 
and moves even MORE...  (bet they wouldn't even have the screaming/flaming
skeleton with Scorpion's fatality).  I really hope Acclaim doesn't get to
write it for any system...  I've never been impressed with their games, and
especially not their conversions.  (Hrm, let's see, on the SNES we'll give
it awesome sound and graphics but make the gameplay crappy, on the Genesis
we'll keep the gameplay but screw the other stuff...)  Especially on the
SNES version, they could have done much better with the original MK than
they did.  I wonder if they bothered to playtest it, or if they just said
"hell, it's Mortal Kombat, people will buy it".
