Ed Boon teases Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks HD

Haha, what?

Once upon a time, Midway Games made a Mortal Kombat themed beat ’em up called Shaolin Monks. It s🍃tarred Liu Kang and Kung Lao in an epic quest to defeat Shang Tsung, featuring full co-op, RPG elements, and a story. Surprisingly, it did rather well both commercially and critically, which might be why Ed Boon is over T🃏witter.

Jokingly, Boon tweeted a picture of a Shaolin Monks strategy guide, stating “Someone put this on my desk. WTF? Do they think we’re doing an HD version to download … um.. or something.” I don’t think I’m alone in saying I would easily buy a $10 downloadable version for the co-op factor alone — and with a number of Mortal Kombat games co🍬ming to Steam recently, a๊ PC release could sell very well.

I for one love these MK spinoffs, and as wonky as it was, I was also a fan of Mortal Kombat: Mythologies Sub Zero — there’s something about that game that drew me in over the course of an entire week.
