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.

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)

in other words: it doesn't mean they're working on it. It means they like teasing the small fanbase that would enjoy KI3.

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.

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?

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.

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.
