Hmmm, agreed about MK's gameplay not being as deep nowadays. It's gradually been happening since MK4 onward, I find each title to be that little bit more watered down. It might only be me clinging to the characters I know, but I keep finding myself saying little prayers that MK9 can combine the insanely good sound design of the last few titles with a sharp increase in the depth of control available for each character. I want to be able to feel like there's more work to do to master a character than just learning specials and fatalities. I want to be a totally horrible MK player again because I'm so out of practice, rather than being able to plough my way through with a moves list and some half-hearted button mashing. From everything I've seen online so far, MK9 is holding its own sound-wise, so now we've just got to hope they haven't been lazy about the actual number crunching and mechanics of reverting to 2d movement. If 2d movement turns out to be just a gimick, the series is going to feel soooo tired IMO.
