FWIW, I like the newer 3D MK fighting engine. I remember seeing previews for MK 5 and I was stoked. Once I got my hands on it, it felt a little clunky, but it worked (and it was far better than MK 4). The series got better over the years, and culminated in a great fighting game in MK vs DCU.
If Midway/Warner Bros. want to bring the franchise back to 2D, that's fine, but don't use the same 3D engine to do it. I look to Street Fighter 4 as a prime example on how to create a well designed 2D game that simply uses 3D graphics as a backdrop, not as your main source of graphical animation. I dunno, the game is so far off, who knows what it'll end up looking like, but right now, I'm not impressed or excited.

It is hard to tell if I will like MK9 nearly as much as Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. I am seeing a lot of 1000 thousand hit combos which I don’t like in fighting games I am also seeing multiple characters on the screen at the same time- I am assuming they are trying to go for a Marval VS Capcom 2 feel; which to me can take away from the game play just as easily as add to it.
Also watching the video The animation don’t seem quite as fluent as they are in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe which is one of the main reasons I like the game so much.
Well at least they put all the gore and shock value Fatalities back in the game.

I have to think that the 4 player thing is an additional mode. I dont think its going to be combo happy, thats never been MK's thing however those combos shown wernt that long and nothing that isnt in current fighting games with 4 hits and 5 hits.

The new MK teaser vid was just as bad as ever. I want to see the characters in
side view, to get a clear picture of whats happening. The continual moving camera
totally sucks, as it draws your attention away from the game and action. Its like trying to
watch a movie, and some kid keeps throwing popcorn at you a few rows back.
The in-game cut-scenes are also horrible. Why oh why would I want to see an
x-ray of slow motion bones breaking, when Im trying to play a intense action game?!!!
Completely slows the games action to a crawl, makes you seasick from all the damn
camera pans, and adds nothing to the game.
This is a high dollar disaster. (like most entertainment made today)
The only people who will buy games like this are the new gens, who have no clue
what a good game is. If they had made a true MK3 clone with spruced up, added
gameplay, using slightly spruced up 2d graphics... it would sell 100 times more copies
than all the combines copies of every MK game from 4 on up.
