Yeah, cause Microsoft is filled with talent and experience in making a good fighting game.
Well it's a good fit then, since KI was never good.

I doubt all of this. In the original Xbox's time frame, MS was publishing exclusive fighting games all the time! DOA3, DOAU, Tao Feng, Kakuto Chojin, etc.
Even though fighters are still fairly hot, MS seemingly refuses to do anything with the genre, I think they are firmly entrenched in the FPS camp for multiplayer, and I don't see them ever diverting resources to a fighter ever again.
SAB: At this point, microsoft would be completely stupid to go after the Japanese market. The 360 ship has sailed and it came up with basically nothing... Their best bet is to cut their loses with 360 and for 720 buy their way into a major exclusive... even if it's just a timed one. Spend a few mill to secure Final Fantasy 15 as exclusive for 6 months in Japan and suddenly they'll look a lot more interesting.
I have more goodsThis thread already delivered the goods!!
Honestly never saw what was so special about this game.
Thing is, a good deal of people who worked on Street Fighter 2 weren't Capcom employees for 3 or 4... so Microsoft could theoretically get people who loved KI to put together a new one.
Kinect Instinct confirmed!
Hmm I was thinking of leaving, ohh well ill stay a little longer to see what else pops.I have more goods
How is this even thread worthy...
Even if MS isn't planning to do anything with KI in the next 15 years, they would still renew the trademark.

OH
MY
GOD
SPINAL!
Killer Instinct had a MASSIVE, MASSIVE impact back then.
That's my best post on NeoGaf.
Probably means absolutely nothing.
BUT STILL...
HYPE
No. No it did not. People were too busy playing MK II or NBA Jam when KI came out.
Killer Instinct is the only other game outside of Street Fighter 2 that I've seen absolutely dominating peoples attention in arcades

I used to stare at KI machines just for the intro
Super was like a year old by then, MK2 was out on consoles by the time KI came out. I remember playing KI for the first time around Christmas 1994 or so.No. No it did not. People were too busy playing MK II or NBA Jam when KI came out. Hell, Super Street Fighter 2 was still killin the arcades from what I remember.

Microsoft loves wasting money. Why renew a trademark for a series that is already dead and forgotten?

Killer Instinct was never that good of a game.
