Yes the move is a bad move Sony! :D

that is just silly. I think Boon has lost his edge. I hope MK9 comes through though because I already have a cabinet ready for it.

Did you see his follow-up tweet? It doesn't work with MK9. So what cabinet are you going to put it in? Picts?
 
I've lost faith in Boon and the Mortal Kombat series. With every new game in the franchise, he always says "We're making this new one to be more dark and violent like the original game", and somehow the game always ends up being awful.
 
I think they will make this so you can use either the regular controller or Move for a couple of reasons...

First, they're going back to the 2D style of play to mimic the original games. They aren't going to handicap a traditional game by only making it playable with an oddball controller. Its also a multi-platform release, so they are going to have to support the 360 pad as well. Kinect might be the interesting platform for this if it's supported!

Second, and probably more importantly: They want to sell this thing to everyone. By only supporting the Move controller, they are going to be cutting their audience by 35 to 50%. They've done some dumb things with the franchise, but not that dumb.
 
lol, remember that one where they got rid of all the character specific Fatalities and just had generic combo moves where you beat your opponents to death?

OK, I was done with MK when 3 came out. But I think you need to watch the game play in the trailer, looks and plays a lot like MK 2. Also note the fatalities:

It isn't going to use the move controller, it was attached to the machine by mistake. See Ed Boon's tweet:

BTW I have no idea why that Playstation move controller was hooked up to our MK cabinet. MK doesn't run with the PS move.
