Mortal Kombat 9 (2011) Remaster and Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks Remaster continue dominating discussion within the MK community as the FINAL results from Ed Boon’s massive remaster poll are now officially in, and surprisingly, Shaolin Monks has narrowly defeated MK9 overall after nearly 30,000 combined votes across X and Threads! In this video we’re breaking down the final voting results from BOTH social media platforms, why Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks ultimately edged out Mortal Kombat 9 despite MK9 still being considered one of the greatest NetherRealm games ever made, and why many fans now believe WB Games and NetherRealm Studios may eventually bring back BOTH titles in some form. From the debate surrounding whether Mortal Kombat 9 simply needs a 4K rollback netcode remaster while Shaolin Monks deserves a full Unreal Engine remake, to the complications involving Freddy Krueger and Kratos licensing rights potentially preventing a perfect MK9 re-release, to the growing demand for Mortal Kombat spin-off games after nearly 20 years without another Shaolin Monks style experience, there’s a LOT to unpack here. We also dive into the surprising flip between X and Threads where MK9 technically won one poll while Shaolin Monks dominated the larger overall vote count, the ongoing conversation surrounding Digital Eclipse potentially handling a future 3D Era Mortal Kombat collection featuring Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon, and Shaolin Monks, and why many fans feel Mortal Kombat 9 is still much easier to access today through Xbox backwards compatibility, Steam, and modern hardware compared to Shaolin Monks being largely trapped on PS2 and original Xbox hardware. On top of that, we discuss the growing calls for proper rollback netcode support in older Mortal Kombat titles, the possibility of tag team modes eventually returning in Mortal Kombat 13, the community frustration surrounding Mortal Kombat 1 lacking online lobbies and traditional 2v2 tag gameplay, and why some players believe proving there’s demand for Shaolin Monks could finally convince WB Games to greenlight more Mortal Kombat spin-offs outside the traditional fighting game formula. Between Ed Boon teasing remasters for years, fans begging for Shaolin Monks remakes and MK9 re-releases, speculation surrounding Summer Game Fest, PlayStation Showcase, and Xbox Showcase season, and the continued hope that Mortal Kombat’s 3D era finally gets preserved properly on modern consoles, it genuinely feels like the MK community is once again fully entering “let them cook” mode. What do YOU think about the final results from Ed Boon’s remaster poll? Would you rather see Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks fully remade, Mortal Kombat 9 brought back with rollback netcode and enhanced graphics, or BOTH eventually happen?
