I know Nintendo owns the rights and Rare doesn't belong to them anymore but do you think Nintendo would ever revive it? I miss my Ultra Combos.

 

[Mejilan]

No. Get over it.

Spoiler

Cries...

 

[Snaku]

Rare is stupid, so no.

 

[Haunted]

God, I hope not.

 

[Amir0x]

Even RARE is shocked that there's a fanbase for this shitty fighting series

 

[Grecco]

No. Jago Weeps

Rare should be more worried about the shitty games they've been making after Nintendo dropped them.

 

[Kintaro]

No, and it never should happen. Let it go.

:lol Ouch :lol

hey! the original was the shit.

 

[OokieSpookie]

The series destroyed the fighting genre, let it rot in hell

 

[AranhaHunter]

Rare is stupid, so no.

Rare has no say, Killer Instinct is owned by Nintendo.

 

[meddow]

We can only live in hope

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Does it make any business sense to revive a shitty game in a dying genre?

 

[ZeoVGM]

They've put out two games on 360 and Viva Pinata is awesome.

 

[FFChris]

Well, as much as I like Killer Instinct, I hope Rare make a few more platform games like Conker and Kazooie, the time for fighting games is gone and there is no way KI3 would be able to keep up with Soul Calibur, Tekken or Virtua Fighter.

 

[Nerevar]

God, I hope not.

pretty much.

 

[papercut]

I thought that Rare got control of all non-Donkey Kong franchises that they developed?

 

[AranhaHunter]

Does it make any business sense to revive a shitty game in a dying genre?

Yes

 

[Instigator]

Some fighting game series live on for decades, others disappear. That's the order of things.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Does it make any business sense to revive a shitty game in a dying genre?

Uh, dying genre?

Virtua Fighter 5
Soul Calibur 4
Tekken 6
The MK series (whether you like it or not, the series sold very well last gen).

Just because it isn't doing FPS genre numbers doesn't mean it's dying. You're flat out wrong there.

 

[Odysseus]

well, i guess it has been a week or two since the last "waaaaaa where's my killer instinct sequel" thread.

i guess the weekly "waaaaaaa why won't nintendo make another kid icarus" thread is just around the corner.

 

[AranhaHunter]

No, Nintendo owns it

 

[Mejilan]

Don't forget Punch Out and Startropics.

 

[goldenpp72]

nintendo doesn't own it, the game was referenced in an XBOX game in which the other nintendo owned cameos were removed for god sakes.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Killer Instinct is owned by Rare and if there is a god in heaven there will never be another sequel to it.

350 million to erase this series out of existance is money well spent.

 

[Stitch]

No, Nintendo owns it

hmmm... they should put some KI fighters into brawl

I count 3....

 

[Bildi]

I prefer to devote energy to useless whining about JFG, Blast Corps & Snake Rattle 'n' Roll.

When Nintendo sold RARE, RARE was allowed to take all of the franchises that weren't Nintendo's (Star Fox & Donkey Kong).

Wait. What are you trying to prove with that? Did you even look at it?

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Killer Instinct's one shining spot was the low rent character design, which was memorable for how c-list it was.

 

[TigerKnee]

Let me guess, you got your ass whooped in the arcades all the time =P

 

[Nozi]

According to Wikipedia, Rare own the rights to all the characters.

 

[Green Shinobi]

You're serious?

The characters were awesome. Fulgore, Glacius, Cinder and Orchid in particular would look amazing with modern graphics.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I ****ing hope not. If there is a God, Rare are working on BK3, Kameo 2 and Perfect Dark 2.

 

[Amir0x]

No, I was pretty excellent at this game. Fighting games always come like second nature to me.

 

[Mejilan]

I'm pretty sure that KI is Rare's, not Nintendo's.

 

[tedtropy]

They could call it KI3: Broken Beyond Belief. The only good thing to come out of that series is "C-C-C-COMBO BREAKERRRRR!!"

 

[ZeoVGM]

They made a PD2. And it sucked.

You can't take Billy seriously in this thread.

Technically, it was PD0. Actually, PD0-2, since the GBC atrocity was also a prequel.

[mr stroke]

So much hate for this game, but for its day it was an amazing fighter...I remember going to the arcades to play it the first week it came out and being blown away by those SGI graphics and 50 hit ultraaaa combos.......
it may not be a fighting game that will hold up well over time, but I don't think anyone can tell me that they were better off releasing Kameo on the 360 launch than KI3...

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I wouldn't mind another Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Haters be damned, that was a fun game. A hell of a lot better than Kameo, imo.

wasn't bad at all

 

[AranhaHunter]

It's DEAD but it was owned by Nintendo and seems like no one trademarked the name since.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

fighting games are a dead genre and the KI "franchise" (and i use that term loosely) hasn't had a game in like 10 years. It'd be financial suicide to make a KI3. Nobody outside of hardcore fans wants it.
