Usually when a developer is asked if they’d like to see one of their characters or series appear in Super Smash Bros., they give an enthusiastic response. That was the case with Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon, who was recently asked about the possibility of the fighting franchise being represented in Ultimate.

Boon said that he’s personally interested in the idea, noting that “it would be like a stamp of approval.” He added that he “would love to see something like that” and how it “would be a really cool thing to see.”

Boon’s full words:

Mortal Kombat is known for its fatalities, but another significant aspect is the roster. Only a few characters have been confirmed for Mortal Kombat 11 thus far, but we should be learning more about who’s in leading up to the late April launch.

NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon spoke with Game Informer yesterday regarding the approach to the roster. While there will be new faces, fans can look forward to returning veterans as well. Boon acknowledged that Mortal Kombat X players “were pissed when Baraka wasn’t in”.

At the Brazil Game Show, GameSpot caught up with NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon. Boon was asked about potentially supporting Switch in the future.

Boon, known for his work on the Mortal Kombat series, directed Injustice 2 earlier this year. He indicated that the game could theoretically run on Switch, but adjustments would need to be made in order for it to happen.

Boon said:

Those hoping to replay some of the SNES’s best fighters again on Wii U shouldn’t hold their breath, as Mortal Kombat series co-creater Ed Boon recently confirmed on Twitter that such ports are not in the works. From his Twitter:

RT I know this is a long shot but are there any plans 2 release SNES versions of MK1-3 on WiiU Virtual Console? EB: 0.0%
