Ed Boon has said the inspiration for adding Freddy Krueger to Mortal Kombat as a DLC character was because NetherRealm wanted to add a famous character into the series that fit with the overall theme.
Freddy in MK is a great idea.IMO Final fantasy XIII as a whole is a horrible idea.
Except for violent, you can apply all of those adjectives to that disgrace of a game too. Then add 20 more negative adjectives or so, and we will be at least closer to what it deserves.
I'm surprised so many people are so upset with this, or think it's going to ruin MK9. This is Mortal Kombat - a game series with magical humans, centaurs and gods fighting in a martial arts tournament for the safety of Earth. It was never meant to be taken too seriously.
Don't like Freddy Krueger or don't want him in the game? Then don't download him.
I dont think they have the rights to use the old Freddy, Like GoldenEye can no longer use Pierce Brosnan's likeness for their remake. (I could be wrong and you might actually use it as an alt outfit. I'll have to do some research.)
I think it sounds like a pretty decent idea.... not played it though so I can't say for sure!
"He made cents." - Ed Boon
Kinda does, kinda doesnt. IMO, i'd of put Rikki-oh in.....just saying what everyone is thinking.
Edit: Good looking out fish...my stupidity knows no limits.
I think it's kind of lame actually.
Certainly made more sense than the DC cross over game.
