Rare says new Killer Instinct not out of the question

I say test the market with a Killer Instinct HD. Redo the models in high quality renders, and either have them rendered in game or keep them as HD sprites, but make the backgrounds true 3d for sure. Sell it as an XBL and/or PS3 game and see what happens. If it bombs, there's no huge market for it. It might help to test the waters by simply releasing the game on the Wii's Virtual Console.

Some poll work, and market testing would accomplish the same thing. But honestly in my opinion Rare hasn't had anything good for years, I loved Conker, but the X-box remake wasn't as good or memorable... I mean seriously, how does N64 allow cussing but the X-box bleeps out the bad words... and how the hell did the Rock Solid night club have better lighting and graphics on N64 then on X-box? Most their titles have ended up being below par. Most of the Rare employees that had any talent left and created Timesplitters... which was good... and Haze... which was awful. I just am not sure of Rare has the same magic they use to have, it'd be nice to see that old spark.

I never liked Rare's games, really. Except Goldeneye and, to a much greater extent, Perfect Dark.

I really don't like what they did to Donkey Kong. I sometimes wonder what the character would be like if they had never gotten their hands on him.

Wouldn't it be awesome if it came out on the, DON'T SAY IT, MAN! IT'LL CRASH YOUR DREAMS! IT WON'T HAPPEN! The DS. :D

I loved the old Killer Instinct, but then 64 one a bit less.
A new one would be sweet, but as i have yet to get a 360, I doesn't really matter that much to me.

I don't want them to destroy another of their franchises >_>

Conker reload: too much censoring and bad multiplayer
perfect dark zero: have to play it, but I've heard it doesn't do justice to the previous one
banjo kazooie nuts n bolts: cars??? no... just no.

Rare's loss really was devastating to Nintendo, as i think it is the foundation of Nintendo's loss of "hardcore-dom." They made the meaty western games that today's self-proclaimed "hardcore gamer" seems to crave. With Rare out of the picture, there was little that Nintendo was doing (sans Metroid) to fight the "kiddy" image

Not that any of it matters to me, but that was the loss that really threw Nintendo out of contention amongst hardcore gamers, as Nintendo has never really compensated, as Retro Studios and NST are too small to work in Rare's capacity.

How can it be for the Wii? I thought Rare was with Microsoft and they had a contract stating that they couldn't make games for other consoles.

Killer Instinct sucks. Fans of button basher fighting games were busy playing Mortal Kombat, while those who liked a little strategy were playing Street Fighter. By the time KI Gold came out, the button bashers had moved onto Tekken, Street Fighter held firm, and Virtua Fighter had entered into the mix. Plus, all those Sega fighters I can't remember the names of. I had a N64 and even at the tender age of 11/12 I knew KI was a shoddy game. Leave this shit in the past and make something worthwhile for once, Rare.

I'm a true fan of KI, i loved the one in the snes but never played the N64 one. A lot of people said that KI Gold suck but i still need to play it. But back to the "newer", after i saw the shit of nuts & bolts came out i think that Rare its so going down with Microsoft. DK 64 was good and Banjo Kazooies were better, Perfect dark was an awesome multiplayer and why start talking about goldeneye.

Maybe its a good idea to release a new KI but they have ot think it hard because they can fail like with all the remakes and sequels on the Xbox.

(also its a good market advise to release a little somethin' on the Wii, because it will sell like good shit because of all the Rare fans that have waiting too much for a game on a nintendo console)

looks like im getting a 360

Forget Killer Instinct. If I got another Rare title on the wii I would want another Banjo Kazooie (not that nuts and bolts crap, I want to be turned into a pumpkin again!) or another DK 64. No 3rd partys have been able to put together a fun and interesting platformer since Rare (I haven't played de blob yet, that looks semi interesting).

If they do decide to do it....I will be in the same boat buddy!

There is no way the Rare would do anything for the WII, they so close to Microsoft now after all the did work on the NXE(New Dashbard)

I think Nintendo needs a company like Rare as would take pressure of Nintendo about core games since they seem to be trying to protect the casual market from 360.

a new KI with online (and tag mode anyone?).

i dont care what platform, just do it!

Just bring the original to the VC, and lay the series to rest.

I never personally liked it, I've always felt it was too much like MK, another fighting series I hated. Infact I pretty much hate every fighting game besides the SF or MvC ones.

I dunno... I LOVED Killer Instinct when I was little... but because it looked so cool (overdone costumes and attacks = ALWAYS GOOD in my book).

...but I already feel guilty still liking Mortal Kombat games... I mean, it's so slow and er... choppy? And definitely too corny. But for some reason it's still intriguing. (it's just the overdone costumes and attacks. I guess I haven't changed that much)

To add another game that's not so smooth to my fighting game interests... it'd just make me look bad. :(

^^;; Smooth up the movements, and controls please?

are you kidding a new killer instinct would be a HUGE success! I would be in line to buy it guaranteed! just make it like the arcade yet better with new moves and the same feel.. and the awesome audio! best game ever!
