I do too! I think that was one of the first game soundtracks I ever owned. I wasn’t super crazy about KI:2, but I loved the first one. It’d be really cool to see them do another one.
that would be funny if he argued with you lol
I’m still pissed that there wasn’t any new characters in KI Gold. Where was Thunder?
I think he didnt get sucked into the portal that went into the past
thunder was one of the smart characters that avoided entering into the disaster of a game that is known as ki2
Why are people saying its not a good idea to release KI3 wiith SF4 having been announced? How is more fighting games a bad thing, especially one that isn’t made by a Japanese developer?
Theres absolutely no problem with competing with SF4, I mean how many big fighting games come out each year outside of the Far East? Its not like FPS’s or Racing games, where games are may only get in the limelight for a few weeks before something bigger and better comes along. More fighting games that get made, the better. If KI3 gets announced for 2008 aswell, then it could potentially make 2008 and even better year for fighting games.
Although saying that, KI3 sounds extremely unlikely. Didn’t the guys at Rare say themselves they would never make a new KI because they thought they would never be able to top the original.
I always enjoyed how pressing forward and mashing punch could take off half a bar…using any character.
I jest. I used to play the original and gameboy versions back in the day.

I should have specified. I was talking about KI2, they just felt so ass.
I liked the universal overheads though.
With Official Rumors Must Come Official Documents
Where are the links? Without any links and just talk talk talk talk talk. This is a big waste of time and a big waste of space. Reading this thread and simply hoping for KI3 is dumb. If you want to make it happen. Make it yourself. Mugen it. Otherwize, get the fuck outta here.
As much as i’d love to see KI3, the verdicict in June is that RARE is not working on a Killer Instinct 3 game.

(in the 1st response from rare) " Purely out of contractual obligation, no, we’re not working on KI3"
…i believe ki3 would bomb anyways. just keep what’s good and make it KI HD. keep it the same, up the graphics. or leave it the same make it online like mkII.
“You must spread some Reputation around before gving it to JonnyQuest again”
…sorry JQ. I tried.
everything about KI2 sucked thats why everyone went back to the 1st one.
BTW MK2 sucks, two god tiers Jax and Mileena so much fun
can we start a petition or something to make them put ki as a downloadable game on the ps3 (online)? never done a petition. someone else would have to construct and carry it out. my name is on the list though, know that.
ki would never be on the ps3. either rare or nintendo owns the IP(no one really knows). rare being owned by microsoft, and of course theres nintendo. regardless of who owns it, not going to sony.
im willing to bet nintendo owns the rights tho
Yeah I would have to agree. Wasn’t there even a Nintendo logo splash screen when the game first starts up?
That doesn’t really have anything to do with it. Look at Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Banjo, etc. They were made when Rareware was owned by Nintendo.
If Nintendo owned the rights to KI we would’ve seen Fulgore in Super Smash Bros (Hopefully we didn’t, I never play those games, but I’m assuming no KI-characters showed up.)
This topic is kind of silly, but it’s not really much worse then the “Official [Insert Fighting Game Here] Thread” topics. At least I spelled it correctly (See: Samurai ShoWdown Thread).
TJ Combo is my favourite, but that game is fun to use all the characters on frequently.
I can’t get the ‘cacacacacacacaca-COMBO BREAKER’ out of my head. They didn’t have super moves, instead they had mix-up semi-automatic combos that can reach the 20s in hits, but also be broken (cb’d). I miss that, compared with those same-old level 3 combos in Street Fighter. I love all the SF games, but KI definitely had it’s charm.
KI2 is not really worth talking/flaming about.
bumping so i can delete outta my subscriptions.
???
why the fuck didnt you just click “unsubscribe from thread”
Rare can do remakes or ports of games they had property of the IP. Nintendo retained the rights to Donkey Kong and all his other games as well as Starfox (obviously, see SSB/SSBM?SSBB)
As far as KI3… those who know who Ken Lobb is (killed in PD, had a gun named after him in 007GoldenEye) left Nintendo in 2002 and now works at Microsoft Studios. He was interviewed last year and about the re-release of a KI game or another one he stated “No comment…” Everyone knows he loves KI, and he even came up with the design/creation for a few of the characters… Chief Thunder in particularly.
I happen to know stuff like that because I was a die hard KI fanatic, had a subscription to NP and read everything and anything about KI and Ken Lobb. I won’t comment on KI2… I played it too, but not as religiously as the first game.
