I wouldn't say no to a Diablo 1+2 remaster with console support.

MK11 sells itself for $15 and then charges massively for microtransactions/DLC. It's a series that is about 30 years old, so lots of lapsed fans can easily come back to it.

Dragonball FighterZ has sold over 6 million copies on the same $15 sale premise, except without the microtransactions. DBZ doesn't have as wide appeal as MK though.

Curious why you are bringing up MK11 as $15? That is a very very skewed view.

1) MK11 selling over 8 million accounts for more than America and the $15 price tag is only in America

2) MK11 has had multiple "new" releases all of which were and are well over $15,

Standard Edition

Premium Edition

Special Edition

Aftermath Kollection

Ultimate

3) MK11 at $15 is only the base standard edition and when it's on sale. 

4) MK11 at 8 million was four months ago, before Christmas

It's as if you are trying to bring up the $15 as a means of saying the game even though it has sold over 8 million really didn't make that much money.

Let's be fair and honest, Mortal Kombat has made a massive combat last generation and now is the most successful fighting game franchise, passing up street fighter as the worlds most successful fighting game with over 45 million in sales.
