...... No.....
If this rumour is true then killer instinct has been lost forever.
Why couldn't ms just give me a HD collection of KI and KI2???

Mystogan4608d ago

None of these characters fit in killer instinct. Here's a better list from all Microsoft IP.

Master Chief (Pistol and Plasma Sword and Grenade)
Shu from Blue Dragon
Fable Hero (Good and Evil wielding sword of Avo and Aeons respectively.)
Kaim from Lost Odyssey
Kameo (With ability to transform)
Azurik from Azurik
Hero from Phantom Dust
Anyone from Ninety Nine Nights
McLaren from Forza.(lol)

If you read the article linked in this article, it has devs talking about work, they specifically mention RARE characters.

Mystogan4608d ago

I don't see why they would limit it to only rare characters.

maniacmayhem4608d ago

I agree with another poster on here who said Joanna Dark from the Perfect Dark series.

She's from Rare and would blend in real nice with the KI characters.

christocolus4608d ago

nice....joanna dark would be good though.

ZHZ904608d ago

DK and Starfox are Nintendo's characters impossible they'll be in this game.
It'll be cool to see Conker, I really missed him his game was fun.

SaulGoodman4608d ago

Were talking about killer instinct correct? Eyedol, Gargos, and Walter White?

yeah they were such good and fun games but they never really reached the mainstream audience. Killer Instinct was widely known and respected.

Cacabunga391d ago

Killer instinct is great, especially on snes but it’s not the most underrated fighter.. for me it’s Power Stone. So much potential in this series

Jawsh666391d ago

Bloody Roar was a game that had a sick concept but wasn’t made the best. I’d say Killer Instinct was the opposite of that, it was well made but the roster of characters were so similar to every other fighting game in that era that it ended up feeling like more of the same. I could be wrong that’s just how I remember it at the time and I played a ton of KI on SNES because it was one of the first games I owned.

PRIMORDUS391d ago

I loved this game in the arcade, my main was Jago, Ultra Combo!!! https://www.youtube.com/wat...

DivineHand125390d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS390d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj391d ago

You're kidding?
It enjoyed probably more success than it deserved.
Unlike Tobal 2

MeteorPanda390d ago

Tobal 2 was awesome. Sold really well cause art similarity to dragon ball

jjb1981391d ago

I remember trying my hardest to learn that "Ultra... Ultra.... Ultra...." finish. Such a great fighting game.

Popsicle390d ago (Edited 390d ago )

I can tell you definitely got some SNES time in. The slight differences in the ports due to hardware constraints were interesting. For example, the arcade version was Ultraaaa Coooommboooooooo! versus Ultra….Ultra….Ultra on the SNES.

Though SNES overachieved as a port for as demanding as a game KI was.The arcade version was one of the first cabinets with a dedicated hard drive and the SNES version was 32 megabyte cartridge which was huge for that system at the time.

jjb1981389d ago

Yeah, for sure. My local childhood arcade was always packed and it was hard to get a game in but once the SNES version came out, I was hooked. I can still feel the click of the power button.

Barlos899d ago

I'll have to get this! Been a big fan of KI since the very first one.

Petebloodyonion899d ago (Edited 899d ago )

I love KI (still play the old arcade version) but feel like the Xbox version is like a big intimidating chessboard with no easy way to instruct you to play chess.
The game is so deep in terms of little things to do that it makes Smash Bros melee look like a casual experience.
Honestly, doing a combo Breaker is punish/reward by itself but hey you can add a counterbreaker.
Here's what you also need to know
Breaking Shadow-linker
Instincts
Shadow counter
Auto double,
linker, manual
ender
etc,

There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH903d ago

SF5 didn’t appear on all consoles and was still played at Tournaments. I’ve seen KI tournaments recently so I don’t think your opinion is accurate.
