The sound effects, the metal soundtrack, the 90's electronic song at Orchid's stage, the dark themed narrator, the gameplay... everything was perfect in this game
Luis Caso - EXACTLY what you said. The sound in this game is the best in ANY fighting game, PERIOD. The soundtrack is incredible too. So glad they gave it away with the SNES game. That was a master stroke
I don't think any other video game has ever been this much better than its peers ever. In 1994 there wasn't a damn game that looked even remotely as awesome as this. It even blew Cruis'n'USA out of the water and they were running on the same hardware. Just goes to show how awesome the team working on this was.
This was absolutely incredible for 1994. When this first came out, it blew everything else like it completely out of the water and really drove other game teams to step it up and push for the next level.
Seth Dillard u right about dat ...now dat i think back on it ....this game here is da reason MK3 came wit da combos ...but theres no other game like dis one ...one of my favorites as a kid👍🖒👌
I dunno if I'd call it _insanely_ ahead of its time. Donkey Kong Country was already out after all, and used the same technique for the graphics, and arguably looked even better than this despite being on a console
I was pretty impressed. At the time, I was big Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat player. We used to have competitions and prizes. I saw Killer Instinct near the end of my gaming battling run, and the general look and vibe of KI was another level. However, I am not impressed with the game play. Too dependent on combo key knowledge versus being able to out time and out play your opponent. Meaning, a scrub at SFII and MK1 could wipe out a top player at MK1 and SF just by a few tricks there first time out. It was the same shit with MKIII. MKII you could still walk up with no knowledge and compete well. All in all, keypad combos ruined the play. Old combos required timing for ever hit during a sequence, the new way just required one good moment to score massive damage. Took skill out of the game.
The first i remember before Saw the actual graphics was those characters screaming loud and the narrator yelling the combos goosebump the skin then those versus secuences was blow mind
@@Polarcupcheck lmao, you’re literally saying “gameplay was bad because you HAD to know how to play” 😆😆. That’s precisely what made KI great (besides the innovations on graphics and sound)… the whole arcade would fill in with a “C-C-C-Combo breaker!” It was awesome to see a super-pro fight between guys just timing each other to perfection and breaking the other’s combos. No p**sy “waiting them out”. Or, trying to get the longest possible Ultra.
@@threemr01 I am saying the game placed too much emphasis on having to buy a strategy guide to compete. Placed too much early emphasis on having access to the knowledge, which had no logical root in the mechanics of the game. Imagine if an MMA fighter was in a fight with a guy who had access to some arbitrary mechanics of the universe the other guy has no way of reasoning to acquire. Fighter does something like, "Look at the sky, pick your nose, scratch your balls and say hello," and then super speed flying kick comes out of nowhere. And to stop it, the guy can't run away. He has to (scratch his ass and say dude!) to stop the attack. At that point, you really don't know who the better physically adapted and smarter fighter is, because the skills are disconnected from every prior chain of logic. May look cool, but it is irrational.
@@AnAdorableWombatMK felt like the poor man's KI, because of the stiff movements of the characters and the lack of visually impressive combos (until MK3, that is). Still, it has some cool characters and can create a dark atmosphere at times (especially the first MK).
I remember going to the arcade with me buddy one night and being floored by this game. I watched people play for 2 hours before I got my chance. It was so impressive for the day.
This video brings back such great memories... freshman year at college, hanging out with my friend in the arcades playing this game when I was supposed to be in class...
Sin lugar a dudas Killer Instinc & Mortal Kombat son los mejores juegos de peleas de todos los Tiempos !!! Y este juego no está en consolas es la Versión de Arcade qué está en M.A.M.E 💪👍
Steven Ricaurte puedes instalar un emulador de arcade o mame en un xbox de los primeros (la consola negra) y tiene una maravillosa jugavilidad que no le pide mucho la versión de súper nes a esta... También puedes instalar un emulador de súper nintendo en la misma consola hay títulos de los mejores ...
I remember this like it was yesterday and I remember being a kid in the mid 90s, and getting so excited that this was going to come out for what was then at the time called the Ultra 64! Now I am 29 and I miss being a kid again sometimes; especially when I see old school games that take me back like this one! Awesome game and soundtrack!
The particle effects like the ones at 14:40 still blow me away. People always focused on the CGI stuff with Rare, but they were the kings of clever graphical effects as well.
Chris Wright i've got gold edition at home classic from my childhood. n64 controller is near perfect too cause it's got the six buttons right there, only thing is the stick is placed kinda weird but you get used to it.
Just the soundtrack is an unbelievable masterpiece. As a teen everytime I danced on Traiblazer I started to jump as Cinder AI always did in his stage XD
@@galatica81 yea the snes was dumb down alot seeing nintendo prefer games with less violence and gore which is why alot of stuff in the arcade version was stripped from the snes. like the lava pit level where cinder falls or the car exploding to pieces when yoh fall on it.
Well, the Arcade version of this game did come out first, after all. The SNES version was just butchered down & censored because it was too weak to handle the game itself in 3D.
this was a great looking game when it came out. I preferred to watch others than waste quarters. You couldn't just walk up to the game and play it because you had to buy a gamer magazine to get all the joystick movement and button combinations to learn all the moves for each fighter, games started getting a little too combo crazy at the time. This was one of the last big arcade games before arcades started disappearing from malls - similar to what happened in the mid 80s
u serious ? like for real ? after this game there was Xmen vs Streetfighter . Street Fighter EX2. Tekken 3 . Marvel vs Capcom 1 all were huge in the arcade scene
no the biggest piece of shit to hit a console. Fun, but kinda like a never ending pay us for new shit 4 years later lol Definitive Edition for me was as far as I was going with this utter trash.
Payday 2 Noob you young kids will never know true quality... all you kids care about is "graphics "😒... these games including mk1 and mk2 are the foundation of what the fighting gaming world is today...
I used to play the Super Nintendo version but honestly I never like it and when I see this version everything changes!!! On this version you can do 99 hits with everyone I mean all the caracteres the more you play the more undiscovered thing you find I played this game for more then 10 years and I still playing it on my x box it’s the best game and it would be forever.....!
Man I just found this.. and BOY this is GREAT!! I used to own an original KI Arcade.. sheer awesomeness to see it played here by someone who knows his combos and fatalaties *tips hat
"Available for your home in 1995 only on Nintendo Ultra 64!" The N64 port wasn't even released until late '96 and had replaced the parallax sprite backgrounds with 3D polygon backgrounds. I do believe that there were also some nasty performance issues as well.
Perfect game play, I failed to recall that you had 3 different fatalities in this game. Plus the ultras with the shadows show just how good you are. Thanks for this, brings a lot of memories back.
That intro music, would make any 90s kid excited asf!!! This game was #1 back then. Arcade version only, no home console did it any justice. Dedicated KI fan from way back.
@The Elder oh so that's how they are done, I could never pull them off either in the SNES or Arcade versions. Thanks! I've been playing this game I was a kid.
i was able to download 3 files from the internet (they're no longer available) to install the arcade version of this game on my laptop, this was 8 years ago, I still have that same laptop with the game in it and play it non-stop, KI 1 is timeless!!!!
@Jordan Vallejo they wanted to make that the permanent name but Konami already owned the rights to the Ultra name so they had to change it. Funny thing is that the whole reason that Konami owned the name Ultra was because back in the 80s Nintendo limited third party software developers to only being able to release five games for the NES per year. Many companies created secondary companies to get around this rule and Konami had named theirs Ultra. Funny how that came back to bite Nintendo in the ass.
I have both arcade versions on the Xbox One along with the new Killer Instinct! I love the KI 1 the best and I love the SNES version! It tested you more than the arcade version. You couldn't do infinite combos, there were limitations that you naturally had to adapt with, so many combos that you can do, and also there were no lags meaning everyone is at the same pace! Hopefully, they fix that online so that way everyone can play to their best ability with no mess ups or lags at all! Gotta love KI!!
You can play the arcade version on xbox1?? Do you have a jail broken Xbox 1?? How can you do that?? Plz tell me I would love to play the arcade version in home with my son
Killer Instinct started as a Namco fighting game project in the early planning stages titled "Melee" (which itself later became Weaponlord) during his time at Namco. Aspects of Killer Instinct's core gameplay were influenced from SNK fighting games, namely both the World Heroes series and the Fatal Fury series.
I remember growing up in the 90’s and seeing all the Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat arcade cabinets at my local Path Mark. KI always used to scare me 😂😂😂
Never really like the sequels but this game I had thousands of hours in as a kid. Didn't realize Jago was the protagonist but that was my guy and I loved the sounds cinder makes when getting beat up, so I beat him up alot aha.
el mejor soudtrack de los juegos de lucha se me eriza la piel cuando escuho los sonidos de este juego, en 1994 era muy sofisticado comparado con los demas juegos de lucha, es un juegazo!!!
Besides Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct is one of the best fighting games ever made. (Yes. I will not forget Street Fighter. But these two games were the bomb. Playing in the arcade, whopping asses. SHIT was awesome! )
I played this on the SNES a looot. Borrowed it from a friend and was mind blown. Haven't seen much of arcade version. Looks freakin' unbelievable. Especially for its time. I still think SNES version has some things better than the arcade. But I like the arcade version too. More details, obviously.Glacius, Jago and Fulgore were my favourites. Riptor, Sabrewulf and Chief Thunder favourite guys to fight against. Eyedol was a pain in the ass always LOL
The sound effects, the metal soundtrack, the 90's electronic song at Orchid's stage, the dark themed narrator, the gameplay... everything was perfect in this game
Amen
Loved this game way more than I ever could for Mortal Kombat.
Luis Caso - EXACTLY what you said. The sound in this game is the best in ANY fighting game, PERIOD. The soundtrack is incredible too. So glad they gave it away with the SNES game. That was a master stroke
Some tracks were remixed a bit on SNES and actually sound a little better than arcade counterpart. All in all, your analysis is correct.
I don't think any other video game has ever been this much better than its peers ever. In 1994 there wasn't a damn game that looked even remotely as awesome as this. It even blew Cruis'n'USA out of the water and they were running on the same hardware. Just goes to show how awesome the team working on this was.
This guy is an absolute beast with Glacius. That 32 hit ultra on Orchid gave me chills. May her and Combos car rest in peace
I think you mean rest in "pieces", I'm I right?
Glacius is so hard to play with
80 hits is good not 32
It ain't nothing
This was absolutely incredible for 1994. When this first came out, it blew everything else like it completely out of the water and really drove other game teams to step it up and push for the next level.
Right, good old times. And it still looks nice
Seth Dillard as far as graphics and sound yes but it never got the popularity of street fighter in the arcades at the time
Seth Dillard
u right about dat ...now dat i think back on it ....this game here is da reason MK3 came wit da combos ...but theres no other game like dis one ...one of my favorites as a kid👍🖒👌
This game is why every fighting game is ridiculously big on juggling combos nowadays.
A.D Harris aka TheotheSir This and Tekken.
This still looks amazing, even almost after 30 years!
I was a kid when this came out in the arcade/consoles (14 years old), this game was insanely ahead of its time. It still looks gorgeous!

I was just born 😅😭

Sorry but the arcade version is the ONLY version!
Flo0die SNES port says hi.

KI wouldn't have come out if MK didn't exist. It was just an answer to MK.
One of the best fighting games of its time. The combo mechanics were insane.
That intro still gives me goosebumps
I mean...this is literal perfection personified. From the intro to the end. This brings tears to my eyes
KI has the best fucking soundtrack
I've ever heard in a videogame
that guitar riff is epic
GatoBatracio yes is so epic this game the best in history of games !
i feel u
Streets Of Rage 2 (Bare Knuckle) has the best soundtrack
Theta indeed.!!!
MK is shit tier in versus fighting, everybody know that.
KI and SF have always been the best franchise.
Anyone else prefer this killer instinct than killer instinct 2 (gold)?
connection was sick
Killer Instinct gold is sick
I agree. Kl 1 is fantastic
We need a remake or remaster of this game for the current consoles. This was awesome in 1994.

R.I.P Rareware.
nah, KI for XBox One is an awesome game. A much better sequel than KI2.
I mean Banjo & Kazooie are in Smash so hopefully they bring this arcade game to the eShop along with CBFD and other Rare titles.

..the port you talk about is based off ki 2 and not 1

N64 use cartridge
This was released on Super Nintendo man and they did an incredible job bringin it to console. I still got thumb blisters to prove it.
Perfect game play, I failed to recall that you had 3 different fatalities in this game.

yeah on snes, practising those U turns that were so difficult for me as a kid hahah

I remember growing up in the 90’s and seeing all the Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat arcade cabinets at my local Path Mark. KI always used to scare me 😂😂😂
That poor wolf got smacked so hard it was epic 🤣
Never really like the sequels but this game I had thousands of hours in as a kid. Didn't realize Jago was the protagonist but that was my guy and I loved the sounds cinder makes when getting beat up, so I beat him up alot aha.
🤣🤣
el mejor soudtrack de los juegos de lucha se me eriza la piel cuando escuho los sonidos de este juego, en 1994 era muy sofisticado comparado con los demas juegos de lucha, es un juegazo!!!
Holy shit!!! Those ultra combos you keep performing are insane!
Instead of making a new one they should just remaster this one .
This game coming out had in 1994 mustve blown peoples minds. Its like Shenmue but fun
So glad this awesome series finally came back. 😎🤣
Gracias a este juegazo fue la inspiración de muchos juegos de pelea que conocemos hoy en día
4:37 Nnooo! My car!
:v
4:17 FINISH HER!!!!
Wait, wrong game.
Srsly, I mistook this for Mortal Kombat when I was a kid.
Besides Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct is one of the best fighting games ever made.
(Yes. I will not forget Street Fighter. But these two games were the bomb. Playing in the arcade, whopping asses. SHIT was awesome! )
This game is awesome it's the best
I played this on the SNES a looot. Borrowed it from a friend and was mind blown. Haven't seen much of arcade version. Looks freakin' unbelievable. Especially for its time. I still think SNES version has some things better than the arcade. But I like the arcade version too. More details, obviously.Glacius, Jago and Fulgore were my favourites. Riptor, Sabrewulf and Chief Thunder favourite guys to fight against. Eyedol was a pain in the ass always LOL
Great performance annihilating your opponents arcade games freak
This game plays like a dream. I play all the characters, I can't choose a favorite.
