In MK 2021, when Kano mocked Lui Kang about his laser beams being better than fire, a thought occurred to me. It would be funny and rad if they made a Kano adventure where he actually ascended to "God of Lasers" status.

Obviously this is an idea that could bomb a million ways, and maybe only be great in a handful. I'm imagining something of smaller to mid scope here, a 8-12 hour adventure with some sort of unique multiplayer mode, couch co-op and online. They could make creative use of the lasers for puzzles or destructible environments. I'm surprised they haven't tried to adapt the 2D control scheme to 3D in third person. In my head I feel like it could work if you just swap all the right and lefts with ups and downs. Maybe have a button to transition into a fight stance from exploration mode, which should have some new type of gameplay for 3d laserings. Jesus, it might almost have to be like Pokemon now that I'm thinking more about this, with dedicated controls for both gameplay loops.

Beyond that, I'd love to hear Joshua Lawson as the voice of Kano in a game.
