Ed Boon offers Mortal Kombat's Scorpion and Sub-Zero for Smash Bros.'s roster

Would the Mortal Kombat franchise ever see representation in the Smash Bros. series? It seems extremely unlikely, but it’s not like other M-rated franchises haven’t made their way into the game. Bayonetta is part of the roster, and while that’s a bit different since Nintendo publishes, it’s still a Mature title that made it to the Smash Bros. stage.

While Nintendo and Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon aren’t chatting about what’s next for Smash, Boon is more than ready to offer some iconic characters for Nintendo’s star-studded franchise. Boon was asked by Axios who he’d hand over to Nintendo for Smash, and his answers most likely won’t surprise longtime Mortal Kombat fans.

Boon picked the duo because they’re instantly recognizable as Mortal Kombat characters, and have been the pseudo-mascots of the series for decades now. Well, I guess the ball’s in your court now, Nintendo!
