Keeping older games in a long running franchise playable allows a healthy dosage of old and new. You can always purchase a refurbished Xbox or PlayStation 2 if you wish to play these games, since there is no way in hell Ed Boon or his team would ever work on them again.

From what I understand the 3D games are popular with niche gamers who are more familiar with the stiff, broken mechanics of these games, then with the intense combat of the 2D MK games, since they were introduced to Mortal Kombat with Deadly Alliance or any of it's 3D successors.

So reviving these games so a younger generation of fans who recall them vividly can play them in HD with online multiplayer is bogus and a waste of time and resources.

People do this for the same reason people preserve old movies that go as far back as the silent era. I understand that there are people who like these 3D MK games, but they are not worth expending the time and resources to preserve since they only serve as a reminder of the direction Ed Boon tried to take his franchise by making the 3D leap, and ultimately failed at doing, which is why Mortal Kombat had to be rebooted.

It also astonishes me how people are still stuck in the 3D era, pining for the shit that almost ruined this franchise, when a game as uninspired and mediocre as Mortal Kombat: Armageddon for example is not worth an HD revision.
