Whilst thinking about the next gen version of MK, another of my favourite beat -em ups came to mind, and made me confused.

Killer Instinct, anyone ever remember what happend to it?

As far as I know, there was only ever 3 versions of it (SNES, GB and N64 (Gold Edition), but at the time it was brilliant.

It was fast, extremly fast if you knew some moves,

And I think Rare, not Nintendo owned the license.

I want a new version, I want Sabrewulf and Fulgore on my Xbox....

Remember that massive 47 move combo with Sabrewulf that could decimate an opponent in three seconds flat? Classic move!

Brilliant game also miss it

*Wipes the tear off the eye*

Anyway, I'm betting rare will release it on Xbox but very doubtful it'll be in the near future or even this year. (Late 2004 or 2005 :D)

but its up to rare! But i remember Jacko i think it is and Boney guy :)

Almost as great as the fact that I won a GAD. Yay! Thank you SR.

I sem to remember that Gerrid's copy of Killer Instinct (gold??) on the SNEA came with a free audio CD which impressed us no end for at that tie we didn't have CD players. Or at least he didn't.

Oh yes, I remember that combo Unbeliever, and that was why Sabrewulf was my character, as was Scorpion in MK.

And for some reason, I can't get it out of my head. Played it at my lunch, and within five seconds I'd remembered the majority of his moves.

I liked Cinder.

He had a combo that made him turn invisible.

I do not recall ever playing Killer Instinct.

But MK2 ruled. FINISH HIM!

Mortal Kombat - the most ultra-violent game ever made. Bar none.

More annoying to other people I found was the 'shadow' warrior skin thing on KI Gold (N64). It was quality, especially if you were on a dark level.

Your opponent would be constantly sat there squinting to find you, by which time they had been finished off by a finishing move....

KI was on par with blood, not fatalities, but combos were easy to pull off and easy to block. It was a very fair game, with only Saburwulf being slightly over powered in my opinion.

Just found out there was an KI 2 (arcade only), I think that was KI gold on the N64. Never played it in the arcade though.

KI was claimed to be the best beat-em up on the SNES, It was one of the only good ones on the N64, although the graphics were not that great (2d characters on a 3d backdrop).
