Rumor - Killer Instinct coming to XBLA

Article | February 26, 2010 8:40 am


One of the latest widespread rumors is that Killer Instinct might be coming to Microsofts Xbox Live Arcade. Rare has been talking about coming out with the title on Xbox Live arcade saying that it is possible with released titles such as Perfect Dark. [/B]


Quote by Ken Lobb:


"Ahhhh, Killer Instinct, another one of my babies," mused Lobb. "I obviously have personal feelings about Killer Instinct, but I do think it’s got a place and again it makes that sort of sense... "Let’s bring something that people loved in the past and see how it does on the Live Arcade." Again, we haven’t started anything yet, so don’t freak out, but Killer Instinct is something that we’re constantly talking about."

"Actually after KI2, we started KI3 so there was some early work done on it," Lobb revealed. "Someday, maybe. I think in some ways – again, we don’t have any plans – but if we were going to do a KI3, we’d probably start with KI1 on XBLA, you know to a.) see if everyone is still interested in the IP, but also as a reminder of what it was like."



So the way it seems after some long hard thoughts of what retro titles Xbox Live gamers would enjoy and have been raving about to get on the next generation console, Killer Instinct might finally get it's 15 minutes of fame in the future since games like Perfect Dark is paving the path in order to port these hot titles.

It's funny..years I've wanted Perfect dark to come out on 360 and it's finally happening..I've also in the same breath have been requesting Killer Instinct. Not KI2 or KI Gold (As it's called on N64) but the original Killer Instinct from the arcades. In my opinion it's a no brainer...this game was a big hit in the arcades and later on the Super NES. This title should have been out!

I really, really hope that if they do this, it's the arcade version of KI and not a console port version, like Chrisarcade said.

I wouldn't mind if they did KI2 arcade later because I never got to play it, but I really want the arcade original.
