Does Rare own it or Nintendo?

I don't get why that game became so popular. It's such a blantant, obvious rip-off of both Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Why do people give in to what Nintendo wants?

Game... ovahhhhhhhhh!!!

Rare owns it. Another game of it is highly doubtful.

What needs to come back more from Rare is Wizards & Warriors.

Yup I loves me some Wizards and Warriors, actually got the cart. need Ironsword..I think Killer Instinct was superior to MK but lacked when compared to SF..

Mortal Kombat had "Toasty!" while Killer Instinct had "C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!" I can't tell which one's cooler.

I liked MK's two player but the computer was super cheap... Still it was a race to see who could get their foot out first.. KI was more like SF.. Jago was a Ryu type... I marveled how good some people were.. The AI got cheap at the end with Eyedol...

I used to play the original "Killer Instinct" a lot when I was younger. It was quite an addicting game! "Killer Instinct: Gold" was also good, but didn't receive enough recognition as its predecessor. As far as a third installment goes, I don't think it will see the light of day. :(

Rare shouldn't have left Nintendo

and there's the fact that it's not that fun. Heck I'd even rather play king of fighters over this.

*edit* "toasty" is cooler

I prefer C-C-C-Combo Breaker. And King of Fighters is better than Mortal Kombat any day. :D

Anyway, we had this topic ages ago. What happened to that guy Shadow-Prophet? He pretty much gave the run down of all the political intrigues between Nintendo, Rare and Microsoft which will prevent a new Killer Instinct ever getting made.

King of Fighters and Fatal Fury are probably two of the most boring fighters I've ever played. I need to give Killer Instinct a try, though, even if I don't like its intentions.

If Killer Instinct had finishing moves and better controlling, it could have been just as good as MK and better than SF2

killer instinct tried to be original by focusing on stupid comboes. I'm not saying it was a bad game, I just personally didn't enjoy it.

Ah yesssss ...

Killer Instinct 1 was the best imo (arcade-version)

You can play the arcade-version on a pc near you with U64 (arcadeboard emu for Ultra 64)
