this game should be remade on revolution. it was rumored to be on "ultra" 64 when it came out in the arcades. the snes version was choppy and cut stuff out.

You will be able to play it on Revolution (due to their d/l technology), but that's the only guarantee you have right now.

Isn't this a Rare game?

Yep, better chance in seeing it on the next Xbox

Rumor going around that KI will be on the Xbox 360 as a close to launch title.

Killer Instinct didn't come out on the N64, but it's sequel Killer Instinct Gold did. The fact that it wasn't very good probably has something to do with why people usually forget about that game.

I was a die-hard SFII/MK2 player back in the day but I always had a soft spot for Killer Instinct. It's the only SNES game I still have too.

I'd like to play an updated version.

Thread crap much?

He's talking about the "Gold" edition, which I agree sucked arse. Hardly a thread crap.

Why play KI when you can play SC II or DOA 3? Much better games IMO.

Well actually Killer Instince 2 was the sequal i believe. Gold was just the original one with a few new features. Sorta like Street Fighter 2 hyper fighting edition was to the original Street fighter 2

Because KI is fun?

I believe Rare retained the character rights to the KI series, so yes a new KI game could be made for the 360, however the original KI games were published and co-developed with Nintendo, so there also remains a strong possability of releasing the original console versions on Revolution. In theory, the arcade games could be released on Revolution as well, but they would have to cut the video out.

Why would they have to cut the videos out? Not for size surely. The chd's (harddrive images) of the games are like 100 megs and 200 megs w/ the movies

Exactly because of size. Nintendo *wants* to make the wifi downloading seamless, in my mind, downloading a 200 meg file would hinder that goal. It's possible they could leave them in, I would just be surprised that's all.

Plus, 200 Megs takes up as lot of space if the Rev. only has 512 MB of on board memory as rumored. I imagine nintendo want's to make is so most people can have plenty of room for all their downloaded games and game saves on the on-board storage.

I doubt we will get the arcade version of a game like KI. I'm sure if we get it Nintendo will release the SNES and N64 versions.

ultra combooooooooooooooo!

I remember this game. I actually bought the SNES version, but I could never get into the dial-a-combo gameplay.

but it had sweet music. Anyone get the Killer Cuts CD?

My brother had it (and may still.) It was pretty cool.

I have the Killer Cuts cd, never really cared for it though.

The 2 threads about KI prompted me to look for the Killer Cuts tracks and I found them online and amazingly they still work. Enjoy!

Those are True Josh and Jeff, just noting that the games still aren't that big really with the videos in them. I can definately understand your point and I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Compression is better now than it was then so maybe they can recompress the movies in a diffrent codec or something to make them super small :P TBH arcade KI wouldn't be anywhere near as good without the movies. The movies were very funny and great and imo should be there no matter what

Did anyone catch the KI cameo bit in Conker: Live and Reloaded? Was it also on the original 64 game back them? Really cool little nod to the game either way.

Thanks for the link.

Ahhh...nostalgia!

I've been playing the SNES version on PSP and slowdown makes it tough for epic combos. Still fun though.
