I honestly can't see it. Guts is cool and all from what I've seen (which is very limited) it just doesn't have the feel, even then I'm not too fond of guest characters in general so that kinda adds to me saying no.

Licensing is another thing, I could imagine the creators of Guts asking for a Christ ton of money especially seeing as Mortal Kombat is a Western product.

From what I've heard Western products tend to be hit or miss in Japan (could be wrong), the issue with using another fighting game series to back up your point doesn't really provide anything, NRS really try and get characters where they can add and provide a justifiable reason for being in the game.

Guts would be quite hard I'd imagine especially with Shao Kahn being the primary reason in story for Kratos and ol Freddy being in MK9. All of the guests in MKX with the exception of Jason are in their own story for the game by their own accord. NRS using horror movie characters is much safer and a significantly easier than using characters who aren't.

I'd honestly have to say no, although I will point out you mentioning MK just being punching and kicking to be a pretty poor reason, quite a few characters primarily use weapons in their fighting styles so it wouldn't be too far fetched, but creating an adaption of Guts in a way what won't piss off the fandom would be pretty difficult.
