New Killer Instinct games anytime soon?

[Chrono]

KI was always my favorite fighting game and I was just wondering if Nintendo plans on releasing a new one any time soon?

[Depression]

Most likely no.

Nintendo has no say in it, what with Rare owning the rights to the franchise. But as Depression said... it's not looking too good.

[Akito]

It's highly unlikely, but I really hope it comes true.

a while back rare had to come out and officially say that there was no KI3 and there wasnt likely to be one anytime soon. the reason is that if they went with a game more like 2 then fans of the first would be upset and if they went back to the first game then the the KI2 fans would be upset. that and the designers themselves could not come to an agreement on which path to take. so it was decided to forget the effort. right as the N64 debued the KI team was split up and moved on. many went to conkers bad fur day team, the jet force gemini/star fox team is completely gone now, the banjo team has become a former shadow of itself and many of its original members are gone too, nearly every programmer from the goldeneye/perfect dark team is working at free radical now. and with all this change its highly unlikely that many people who made the original games are still around at rare. most have gone to free radical or zoonami.

^ Well damn!! there goes my dream.

[Mercury Shadow]

I wish. However, as of now I'll just have to stick with SNES.

You´re not the only one, my friend I liked that game a lot but as you´ve said, the original KI (SNES)

[acefighter2k3]

i would doubt it. rare is owned by xbox now and xbox is really getting desperate for gamers to find another reason to own an xbox other then halo.

So fanboyism and elitism killed it, surprise surprise.

I don't want Rare to make another game, ever. They have fallen far from their glory days.

[AnthonyNolan]

I was looking forward for buying Windows Vista because of Gears of War.
Now i found out there is no PC verson being produced.

I'll Stay with WINXP..

Viva Pinata is pretty good. It gives me some hope for Rare.

RARE + Fighing Games = Carnal sounds and pathetic Combos. Play Guilty Gear and get on with your life.

[Sendo Takeshi]

C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!

I love that game. So broken. Cinder was the god of that game. Jago was alright. I'll money match anyone here to a game of KI.

[Len]

Cinder and Fulgore had infinites up their ***, but they were patheticly boring.. and who was that wolf? The wolf dude had infinites almost as common as the first versions of Re-Act.. which is like jugging across the room and juggling back, it was THAT bad.

KIGold = SMASHED by infinites. Therefore its not fun to play on 2 players.. which is why I dont like it. xD

F,F,MP with Cinder and the game was yours. A three button infinite, that guy is the Yun of KI. At least KI Gold gave you the option to turn off cheap juggles so Orchid wasn't as bad as she could be. Her b,b,lk though would keep them flying until your hand got tired.

Uuulllllttttrraaaaa Cooooommmmbbboooooooo!

You know thats not nesseserily a good thing right? Infinites ruin a game's tier quality, which ruins a game most of the time. Turning off Juggles still resulted in ground infinites.

Xmen vs. Street Fighter still gets played and that game is FULL of infinites. So, yeah, kinda pointless to bring that point up. Some people find it fun. And it really boosts your skill up because you learn how to avoid situations like that.

(response to topic)

You know, I hear this on Rare's "Scribes" page all the time, and I think that if they had tenpence* for everytime they were asked about this, they could probably make all of the games they want and hire more online staff. Well, I'm pretty much going to echo their sentiments here. There is NO Killer Instinct 3 in development, and there never will be.

*I don't know what the British equivalent of a dime is, so I'm saying that.


EDIT:

That has nothing to do with anything. If you don't have anything constructive to say, then don't say anything at all. :Þ

[Matsu'o Tsurayaba]

I always thought that Killer Instinct was dead.It is...

[KingKodiak]

Man it should be fun most likely, I can see RARE spending some good money on bumping this franchise back to some popularity...its something to look forward too no doubt.

[AnthonyNolan]

I was looking forward to buying Windows Vista just to play Gears of War.
Now I'll just stay with the XP verson.

[AnthonyNolan]

No Windows Vista for me.

[Westlo]

I'll like to see another Killer Instinct, I'd also like to see another Nights... but the state that RARE and Sega are in at the moment.... I'll pass on sequels until they right their ships.

[Jae Hoon]

Rare has said publicy they are working on a new KI for the 360 but they have other projects to complete first.

Rare has said publicy they are working on a new KI for the 360 but they have other projects to complete first.

So here´s the plan:

1. Screw up new Banjo-Kazooie game.
2. Screw up new Killer Instinct.
3. ???
4. C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER.
