At this point, the only fighting games I think can even work on the 3ds are super smash (hopefully, we'll see) and ssf4. The d-pad and circle pad just aren't precise enough to handle serious fighting games imo
I already have Mega Ultra Street Fighter 4 Balls-Out 3D Edition or whatever the hell it's called and don't really need another fighting game so I'd be pretty indifferent to a Mortal Kombat game.
It depends. Will the game play like a usual Mortal Kombat ? Or will they cut out all the blood and gore which is the think that makes the game good. The fatalities are a huge thing for the series with out it is just another fighting game with some awesome controls.
The 3DS is poor for fighting games (ergonomically). I really regretted SSFIV being my launch game of choice. And there's no danger of UE3 coming to 3DS, so there's similarly little chance of MK. I don't know that that's a loss.
Ahh 3D fatalities, add some online, streetpass, map some frequent combo's/special moves to the touchscreen like Street Fighter 3D. That game would be perfect. I loved Mortal Kombat 9, and in this case the 3DS's dualscreens would benefit more then the Vita's one touch screen. Also once again, 3D fatalities.

Umm no actually, the 3DS has a good circle pad for fighters, and an accesible d-pad. Also the 2nd touch screen on the 3DS heavily benefits the fighting genre, as you don't get fingers on your main screen, and it makes it easier to access special moves, making it more based on timing, strategy, rather then one's abilities to hit buttons. I never got hand craps ever with Street Fighter on the 3DS or Dead or Alive Dimensions.
Maybe if they did a good job polishing it for the 3DS. As a poster above said, 3D fatalities could be awesome. I havent played a MK game since MK2 in the arcades and on my Genesis, but boy did I love it back then. I think it probably deserves another chance from me.

So? Other systems like the GameCube were regarded as some of the worst in ergonomics for fighting games, but still get some great ones like Soul Calibur II (which based on the guest star gimmick alone, the GameCube version is the most preferred version of the game, while control wise, it was the PS2 and XBOX versions).
That doesn't mean the 3DS should be missing out on more fighting games just because it's not "ergonomically correct".

I haven't had any issues playing Dead or Alive: Dimensions, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II, or Tekken 3D Prime Edition.
After seeing how much NetherRealms toned down the visuals to keep 60 fps on the Vita despite so many other handheld fighting 60 fps games looking better by a wide margin. The Vita version of Mortal Kombat looked like a ps2/psp game, so these crappy developers/coders would likely have around ps1/n64 visuals with a 3DS rendition of the series
