I was 18 when Killer Instinct hit the arcades. I used to travel from my home town to London every weekend to play. There were 17 Killer Instinct machines where I used to play, every single one of them was crowded all of the time. I really miss the arcades and gave up gaming a few years ago as a result, I wish gaming was still like this.
+James Earl Cash Whoops looks like I forgot that I had to delete the KI2 intro due to the music being copyrighted. You can play the original KI and KI2 on Xbox One. The new one is also on Xbox One but is also on Windows 10 as of a couple of weeks ago. They did a great job with it in my opinion. I am pretty upset still with Netherrealm Studios (MK) because of how they botched the PC version of MKX. I liked MK2 much more than MK. SF2 is too slow for me when I go back to it - I loved it and played the crap out of it in high school and beyond but nowadays the speed is a bit numbing. I play R. Mika in Street Fighter V and played El Fuerte in SF4. Before that I mostly played Ken & Ryu through all the other ones with a little Dudley and Hugo thrown in the mix from SF3.
I watch this maybe once a year or so... gives me chills every time I watch it. I remember playing this in the arcade, waiting for 1995 to roll around and trash-talking all the kids at school who were diehard SEGA fans at how badass this "Ultra 64" (N64) would be, lol. Goddamn, those were the f-ckin dayz!!!
You can actually play this exact version (with extras) meaning the arcade version, complete with glitches if you choose to, on an Xbox One. You can also get KI2 on Xbox One, the perfect arcade version.
@@Energyone If only they had the classicavailable in your whole message on that version, but I can understand why they can't do that. Who knows, maybe they'll have it for a switch port if that ever happens.
@@chrisfratz KI is never coming to Switch or any other Nintendo system ever again. Microsoft BOUGHT RARE in 2003. Which means they own ALL of Rare's IP's. KI, Battletoads, Perfect Dark, Conker, Banjo Kazooie, Blast Corps, hell they OWN the code for Goldeneye (just not the license to redistribute that game, I believe Activison owns the OO7 game rights at the moment).
Yeah they would have to license it from Microsoft. They re-released the original arcade games (KI 1 and KI 2) on Xbox One along with the reboot in 2013.
You can play a perfect legal copy of the original on Xbox One. It's sold with the 2013 version in a bundle I think, along with KI2 arcade as well. The only thing they changed is they took out the 'Nintendo 64' line of course.
1995 - great year for gaming - Killer Instinct, Virtua Fighter 2, european and american release of both Sega Saturn and Playstation, Mortal Kombat 3, Phantasmagoria, Gabriel Knight 2, Virtua Cop 2, Ultimate Doom etc. But if I had to pick just a few developments, aside from the consoles releases, that really caught my eye then Killer Instinct would make the top of the list. Its futuristic AMC graphics were a sign of the times and things to come and of the 16 bit consoles shrieking their final battle cry in a peak of glory, reaching their prime, only to give way to the new technology ahead. But they would not do that without securing their place in history with classic games such as these first.That's why all the gamers born in the 80's, 70's or even earlier do know where their loyalties lie when they hear the KI theme (arcade or SNES) play.
Yes, have you had a chance to try the Xbox arcade version remake? It's using emulation but they edit out the 'Nintendo 64' part. The 2013 version is pretty cool also.
All 3 games are on Xbox One. You can play the newest one on PC (Windows 10) but not the official KI1/KI2 ports. I think I was in college when the very first game hit. I'm still gaming in my 40s.
Yeah, my only complaint is that it won't really be a Killer Instinct, but an entirely new game instead. The fighting system was never good in Killer Instinct, for me, it was mostly just a fun and atmospheric game, bit really like a real fighting game like Street Fighter. And yeah, I can admit that it is my nostalgia talking, but to me, that was the purpose of KI. I'm not really into fighting games, but like I said, I do want to give this one a try. :)
played this one... arcade in 95 finished it in one week. one coin... intense, sound so loud everthing trembled... anyway, they cannot make em like that anymore... and all this remake is just an easy, sad way to recreate the golden arcade years....
I hear that a lot. People really dislike games that aren't carbon copies of their nostalgia. It's unfortunate that people aren't willing to keep an open mind. Thankfully it sounds like the gameplay is going to be a better version of KI1, certainly deeper by a large magnitude.
Not as much, I don't like the new character designs, and the style seemed to change alot. It's defitley not going to have the same atmosphere as this one, But all that being said I'm still willing to try it out. ;)
To this day, Killer Instinct is still one of my favourite arcade games _of all time._
...and you can play the arcade versions of 1 and 2 right on the Xbox One, along with the newest one, which is nice.
Same here, lets try to get 1up Arcade to make a mini replica cabinet like they did with Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat

I know what you mean. There are still some arcades around if you look, but it will never be like it was.
Classic of our childhood
+James Earl Cash Yes. I have KI2 on here as well. Have you tried the new one? It is on PC now also.
Energyone No, i prefer the classic KI, Mk and SF 2

Yes, i really hope 1up is on the case. With SF2 and MK trilogy, i have high hopes for Killer Instinct.
We got one now boys! #BringBackKI
I still have the soundtrack that was given out with the original game.
Still gives me chills to this day, Killer instinct was incredible in the arcades.

I should clarify: the soundtrack cd that came with the SNES port of the original.
"Available for your home in 1995 only on Nintendo ultra 64" ❤✊
Ever play the 2013 version?
@@Energyone sadly not yet 😋 I downloaded it on PC finally ! but always forgot to play it !! lol

No I have not really played anything more recent than my PS2 and games from the early 00's lol. It sounds good though. I should play KI2 some day too.

The intro sounds exactly like the beginning of this SOS Band song-Just the Way You Like It.
Hmm.. I don't really notice that
Goosebumps
Robin Beanland I think was the composer
@@Energyone He was
Always been curious, do they keep the Nintendo logo and the Ultra 64 thing in the Rare Replay version?
No
ONLY on Nintendo Ultra 64!
Yeah I think I will wait until next year to give it a try.

Best game ever!
It was pretty fun
Such a large difference in the charachters weight

It's not a remake, unless you are talking about the 2013 version. This video is right from the arcade version.
Excited for the new one?

Now available on Xbox One.
