Maybe they could release Wheelman: Chapter 1.

If MS did buy them, would they pull all Midway PS3/Wii games from the shelves?

What would be the point? that would only serve to lower their profits off those titles.

For the same reason you don't see Halo on the PS3 or GT5 on the 360.

That doesn't make sense. They'd be paying to buy back software that would have brought them in additional profit. When Sony bought Psygnosis they didn't didn't pull the Saturn version of Wipeout from the shelves. Not only that, Wipeout 64 wasn't even finished when Sony bought Psygnosis and they still released the game.

Is there really any talent at Midway? MK vs DC seems like the only game they've released in the last couple of years to more or less positive reviews. Other companies could probably do better with their IPs. They completely dropped the ball on PSN/XBLA remakes of their IPs, as well. From the xbla sales they sold a ton of Ultimate MK3 on XBLA. I'm sure the money spent on Ultimate MK3 returned a lot more than stranglehold/blacksite $$$.

Yeah, do you feel MK fans.

Street Fighter 4 is coming and Midway is going out of business. Great times, now you can play real fighters.
