Today in Joystiq: December 19, 2007
Rare's Christmas image is definitely intriguing -- why would pinatas need copies of their own game? Note the KI3 -- as in Killer Instinct 3 -- stocking. Don't get your hopes up for any announcement, we suspect that stocking is empty and dangling close enough to the fire to soon be up in flames. Check out the highlights for today (note: breaking news will highlighted in bold):

yeah, but it IS there with the Kazooie reference. The fact that it is there is promising. it means they are working on it.

yea this is far from the first time Rare has dangled KI3 in front of us. sad thing though is that fighters have really taken a back seat to other genres in recent years. The landscape is totally different than it was when the original KI came out (and to some extent KI2)
eldee @ Dec 20th 2007 12:49AM
in other words: it doesn't mean they're working on it. It means they like teasing the small fanbase that would enjoy KI3.
Mighty Shockwave @ Dec 20th 2007 12:13AM
Hmm, what did Banjo get?
It looks like it's some some of egg-shaped container,
with a key-hole.
LOL ICE KEY AND MYSTERY EGGS UNLOCK STOP AND SWOP WHICH UNLOCKS THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS OH EM GEE!
Just kidding, but Banjo-Kazooie is always promising. The first two games were brilliant, and heads will roll if Threeie doesn't come out. It was the deciding factor in getting a 360 over a PS3.
Watch, in the conclusion of BK3 there will be mention of a Banjo-Fourie.
Mr.ESC @ Dec 20th 2007 12:25AM
SPARTAANS!,What the **** did I just watched?!
Mr.ESC @ Dec 20th 2007 12:30AM
Why is Banjo so worried? Man I wanted that game so badly when I first got my XB360 that and Marvel Universe Online but I guess I won't get any of that anytime soon.
Anyhow KI3 would be sweet but now lets hear it from the internet mob about how Rare is so going to screw KI.With that said can I has KI for the xbox live arcade now pls?
And finally why there isn't a Perfect Dark (-1/3?) teaser anywhere?
Obie @ Dec 20th 2007 12:34AM
Agreed, but maybe a Nintendo licensing issue is keeping from happening?
Mr.ESC @ Dec 20th 2007 12:56AM
Oh snap...er..for the VC then?
But wait not all these agreements have like an expiration date or something?
Obie @ Dec 20th 2007 12:33AM
I actually liked the Killer Instinct games, I wonder why Rare hasn't released "Killer Instinct HD" on XBL arcade.
They have nothing to lose, it's not like they are rolling the dough or anything.
ejordan @ Dec 20th 2007 12:39AM
This picture.... I can't help but sense a feeling of desperation. It's hard to explain, but it's like a 'Christmas Story' or something, where everyone is trying to be happy, but they all know that something is terribly wrong.
Mr.ESC @ Dec 20th 2007 1:16AM
Yeah I feel the same,like something is...Oh shi.. I got it! little Conker is D34D,*Dark vader N000000!!!
No It can't be true,I won't let it be true I'll change,I'll change I wont get that Ps3 for Christmas! pls I will even buy that Perfect Dark sequel.
colin @ Dec 20th 2007 12:48AM
Mr. ESC,
Watch Coming to America, and "let your SOOOUUULLLL GLOWWWWWWW!"

What the hell? Hahahah Ghostbusters Lol.
If anyone wants to know Masako X and Vegeta are back there is also a Naruto Shippuuden the abridged series,the voice acting is good but they sure need to polish their jokes.
christmasfish @ Dec 20th 2007 1:16AM
Haha – that Ghostbusters scene s freaking awesome no matter what language it's in.
christmasfish @ Dec 20th 2007 1:17AM
I would almost certainly plunk down for a 360 if they made a new Killer Instinct.
...but since it's Rare, I'd have to wait until the game is out and see the scores first.
Hopefully we'll see more about Banjo-Kazooie 3 soon, though.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Dec 20th 2007 10:06AM
Hey they have Banjo on there. Nice they're are definately still working on Banjo - Threeie. And above him you can see Grunty the witch. Except she has skin in Tooie she was just bones. ???
They should've also added Conker in that xmas pic.
LeChuck @ Dec 20th 2007 12:11PM
Just the other day I was thinking how much I miss the Killer Instinct games. They were good goofy fighting fun. I'd love a new entry but even a update/re-release of the old versions would be cool.
