Hmm, it sounds like it could be a good idea as long as they improve on the emulation they have been using for the older MK games. UMK3 on MKA was kind of choppy, and MK2 on one of the Midway collections froze up more than once when I played it. If they improve the emulation to the point where it is as close as possible to arcade-perfect, I think it would make a good compilation. Maybe they could add in MKT (although that might take a little extra work since it wasn't an arcade game) as a bonus.

I admit that the 3D games haven't been as fun as the classic 2D ones, but I don't think the series should be ended yet. In my opinion, MKA was the best 3D Mortal Kombat yet (although character-specific fatalities would have made it even better), so I don't think the series has been going downhill lately. Besides, there are much worse franchises out there that are showing no signs of stopping, not to mention the fact that the fighting game genre has been diminishing with the lack of new series being introduced, so I think there's no harm in keeping the MK series going.
