Read what all the top critics had to say about Mortal Kombat: Deception for PlayStation 2. It may seem odd to praise a fighting game that rests in the three foot end of the. The extra modes of Puzzle Kombat, Chess Kombat, online play,. Midway pushes Mortal Kombat to the next level of gameplay with online. Plus challenge others in smaller games like Puzzle Kombat and Chess Kombat.
I think a lot of people on here need to understand that fact.

And the fact that Ed Boon is the creative director of Mortal Kombat, and that the tweet is comming directly from himself makes it a good start for a new thread.

Boon has already answered this question in interviews and NRS isn't going to include the campy mini-games anymore as they're trying to be more serious with current MK games. Chess Kombat can be extremely 'serious'. All it is, is essentially, fire emblem (i hope people have played the game to understand my point) You move soldiers on a playing field and instead of having turn based attacks it goes into a 1 round MK match.
The 'soldiers' are of the MK roster that you pick and place on the playfield (chessboard) and your ultimate goal is protecting your 'king' and destroying the other players 'king' Extremely simple to understand, and an all around bad ass, SERIOUS mini game.

But chess was actually good as it was built entirely around the fighting game mechanics. Puzzle and motor kombat were inane distractions but chess could easily have a place in the new game. Chess Kombat was better than a lot of other of Midway's 'distractions.'
With that said, If MKX ships with Chess Kombat, and the netcode is still mediocre, I would facepalm so hard that I wouldn't regain consciousness until MKX: Komplete Edition ships. Online play is so much more important than those 'distractions' of old. That's where a ton of focus should be going.
MKX can have both 'distractions' and good netcode, but if it lacks the latter while having the former people are going to rip NRS to shreds.
