Freddy Krueger was top selling DLC character in Mortal Kombat 9

Ed Boon posted a Tweet the other day divulging an interesting bit of information about the Mortal Kombat 9 DLC characters. It appears that between Kenshi, Rain, Skarlet and Freddy Krueger, Freddy was the top selling and most downloaded of the bunch.

Freddy Ended up being the best selling of all the DLC characters in MK9... Hmm? ....go figure!

— Ed Boon (@noobde) May 14, 2013

This comes as a surprise as many players felt the decision to make Freddy Krueger a playable character in MK9 was a bit out of left field.

This begs the question: Will NeatherRealm Studios include another obscure character as DLC in their latest fighter, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and will it have similar results?

If you could choose a character that isn't DC Comics related to include in Injustice as DLC, who would it be?

Ed Boon hints at Mortal Kombat 9's release on Steam

Over the past few months we have heard multiple rumors of Mortal Kombat 9 making it's way to PC.

A listing on Amazon UK appeared a while back for the PC version of MK9 but was quickly pulled offline. Additionally, achievements for the game surfaced on the Steam forums last month, further hinting at a possible PC release.

One of Ed Boon's followers on Twitter adamantly stated that Mortal Kombat would be hitting Steam and Boon would be unable to prevent it. Boon replied thusly:

RT @gareth_hawke: @noobde Mortal Kombat 9 is almost definitely coming to Steam and nothing you can do about it. EB: Am I trying to stop it?

— Ed Boon (@noobde) April 18, 2013

Based on his response and lack of an attempt to shoot down such claims of MK9's transition to PC, many have come to the conclusion that this may be an unofficial confirmation.

If Mortal Kombat 9 does make it's way to Steam, do you think it will be well received? Let us know below.
