Good thing it’s now on the SNES lineup on the Nintendo Switch Online. Killer Instinct is one of the best fighting game on the Super Nintendo and glad to play it when I was a kid.
This game literally took blood, sweat and tears from me when I was a kid. This game taught me everything I know about determination... Making it to Eyedol, getting your ass handed to you, crying cause of frustration but through the tears you refuse to give up and just keep going back to get bodied again. Now I can maul Eyedol in my sleep and I've been able to channel that determination in other aspects of my life. Thank you Rare for being such a huge part of my childhood.
dude no lie in 1996 i was 7, my half brother was like 25, and my dad was 48. we all decided we were gonna do whatever it took to beat "the 6th level". it took us about 2 hours and 84 continues 🤣 some of my fondest memories in life lol
I was a Sega fanboy back in the day but, Rare successfully putting this game onto the Super Nintendo and having it turn out as WELL as it did? I HAD to give Nintendo PROPS.
Years after playing this game I went through a phase of learning the guitar. One of the first pieces of music I searched the internet for the tablature for was this track.
My papa bought me this when it came out. I was 6 yrs old and having played MK first I was intrigued. Lucky for me I had older sisters who had friends who owned the game guide for Killer instinct. MAN! I studied that crap like my life depended on it lol. I became a true beast I remember I copied all the moves onto a notebook because I knew I may never see that game guide ever again. Guys, I was so excited to show off my moves and people always said how the heck was I so good. I just never felt more accomplished as a child than when I did playing Killer Instinct. *sigh* good innocent times.
0:18 I hear that voice along with this legendary intro song and immediately my skin crawls like it rarely does. This without a doubt is my favorite game of all time, it is my definitive childhood
Has to be top 5 regardless of what you liked in a game. Ninja Warriors was my favorite, but this game has the best music of any game ever(regardless of system)! And, it's definitely top 5 game of all time...
ULTRA COMBO!!! Man the nostalgia hits me everytime. My classmates in high school had a Killer Instinct tournament where the winner gets free lunch. I miss those times.
Thanks Dad for keeping the SNES and our copy of KI well into the 2010s. While all my fellow 2000s kids were going on about GTA 5 and Black Ops, I was trying to wrap my head around Spinal and Glacius.
I remember hearing this for the first time and that whole build up is what made it, felt like you were ready for anything! Still gives me chills and tears to this day
Regardless of whether it’s the SNES or arcade version this song will never fail to give me chills. I love that little bit of Donkey Kong in there that reminds you it’s Rare.
The music to this day slaps. I remember first seeing this in the arcades at the time and rise of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat and thinking what is this? From the moment I heard that iconic, "Killer Instinct" voice I was hooked. The characters, the combos, the endless hours my friends and I put into this game. Our childhood was amazing.
I’ll never be great at this game but I won’t forget when my dad showed me how to do combos. I managed to become better at it with Cinder. Even in the new game, I tried Cinder and it was all the same moves. Went 9 straight victories against other players at a comic con. Felt fucking awesome to have gotten that far.
Listening to the Snes & arcade versions side by side, the instrumental choices are interesting to say the least. There's a bit of a drum at the very beginning that's missing from the Snes, but, when the melody rolls into that third chord, the drum work there is more prominent on Snes to make up for it (where in the arcade, it's blink and you miss it). The main melody is a guitar in the arcade, but a very well done flute on Snes that hits me as the more iconic version of the theme. To all my Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fans out there, can you just imagine the Green Ranger rockin' this out on the Dragon Dagger flute?? (It sounds ridonkalonkalous, but there's other flute pieces I can imagine him crankin' up as well...)
Games came with my snes, legendary black cartridge :’) I remember when my parents saved enough money to finally buy my sister and I one, we were so blessed. We would play this game, MK, street fighter, Donkey kong country, zelda, mario kart, megaman x, endless hours with the fam :) if I could go back to relive at least one day watching my favorite cartoons, eating junk food, playing games with no worries, Id do it without hesitation.
I’ll never forget that fall at 10 years old when this released and played with my best friend. We used to play this non stop and thought the black cartridge was so cool. Dropping the 57 Chevy (as we called it) as Jago and watching Spinal’s humiliation were things I’ll never forget!
Undoubtedly one of the greatest intro’s to anything ..ever. I’m talking just as good as the 1997 Bulls intro, GTA IV’s intro, Yoshi’s Island Intro, 1994 Knicks intro, 007 Goldeneye. There is something simple yet epic and chilling about this intro. It screams 90’s attitude, and pompousness. There was no reason for Rare to make this intro this epic. This game was new at the time, had no following, and had no history. Yet Rare made it feel like a “daddy’s back bitches” intro. To this day I can’t skip this intro. I remember sitting in a dark smoke filled room at my father’s friends house back in 1995 when he popped this on and my soul melted. This game solidified the 90’s video game kids having the greatest and most creative generation of gaming hands down.
I remember when I first saw this game at the mall arcade, and needless to say I was hooked by the ahead-of-its-time graphics & the soundtrack was excellent also!
Este juego marco mi vida por completo,hizo que me enamorara del mundo de los video juegos hoy en pleno 2021 sigo enamorado del juego como desde el primer dia que lo jugue
if you've played Killer Instinct on SNES or Arcade your childhood was awesome.
Bomb tastic John Twenty fifty
TJ COMBO was my favorite and CINDER
u are fking right man! this game was the real shit at the time!
Killer Instinct was the first game I ever played when I was Younger
Well. It wasn't. But this game did help make it a bit better :)
Cinder4life
Recognized that synth in less than one second in today's direct, this song is something you can't forget easily.
YUP if you knew you knew it is just a synth hum but it is recognizable instantly
The first 25 seconds are truely Epic. I Love the snes Version over all the Others 🙏
you can't listen to this and not instantly feel it
+Reggie H true that..
Reggie H I know bro I wanna beat the shit out of eyedol now
That's what I love about this game. If that intro doesn't get you pumped to play, idk what will
This is my leg day music. Lol
it was too much to handle i cried
Still gives me chills.
This was the only opening I never skipped
ObitoXP same
this theme and battletoads too
This and Top Gear will always get the full intro on the SNES
@@Steadfast_Apparition loved Top gear rally music
Eso es un igno
Twenty years later, I still get chills
1995 - 27 years ago. Many memories and awesome childhood
Good thing it’s now on the SNES lineup on the Nintendo Switch Online.
Killer Instinct is one of the best fighting game on the Super Nintendo and glad to play it when I was a kid.
Kids grew up with Fortnite.... We OGs grew up with Killer instinct... and Gold..
The only fighting game where the announcer yelling ULTRA COMBOOOOOOO as you thrashed the opponent. My childhood was awesome.
This game literally took blood, sweat and tears from me when I was a kid. This game taught me everything I know about determination...

@@mathprodigy6 star Eyedol was different at 7 years old for me 😭 A lot of tears shed
I remember the night I beat Eyedol...3 frustrating hours.

Available for your home and on the go in 2024 only on Nintendo Ultra Switch!
Killer Instinct is back fellas!!!
Wait really ?
@ Sorta it was released on the SNES Switch Online service
One of the most badass menu tracks of the decade.
Not to mention the player biographies!
*of all time
Years after playing this game I went through a phase of learning the guitar. One of the first pieces of music I searched the internet for the tablature for was this track.
You mean of all time 💯
Old Rare, pure masterclass
Coming to your home in 2024 only on Ultra Nintendo Switch!
Killer Instinct!
My papa bought me this when it came out. I was 6 yrs old and having played MK first I was intrigued. Lucky for me I had older sisters who had friends who owned the game guide for Killer instinct.

este intro te hacia pensar que lo que venia era serio XD
Yeah 💪💪💪 old school
Jian Borsani - Ciertamente.✌
y por la xuxa que era en serio este juego, despues todos querian hacer combos....
A mi me encanta este juego!!
Siempre lo jugaba con mis hermanos!!
De mis temas favoritos de videojuegos.
best epic fighting game intro ever nostalgic .
Just one word: Rareware.
Jesus Alberto Martinez Jimenez back when Rare was dope.
Back when they were badass and only make awesome games Rareware
R.I.P.
@@Ronnie1992 Yep! And the kickass Donkey Kong soundtrack...
Only exist in name now. Not even close to the same company
0:18
I hear that voice along with this legendary intro song and immediately my skin crawls like it rarely does.
This without a doubt is my favorite game of all time, it is my definitive childhood
Besides the triumphant victory of the other killing game mortal kombat.
You must mean Rarely does.
Nostalgia
One of the best intros to a game
If you owned an SNES in the 90s, it had the absolute best mix of graphics, audio, and speed to be the console of the 90s! This game proved it!
Welcome back home, Killer Instinct! (Even though it started in the arcades)
I remember that intro when I first fired up this game. What a game
0:17 After that voice, I have Chest hair
5 STAR CLASSIC SNES GAME
Uno De los Mejores Juegos De Súper Nintendo
Has to be top 5 regardless of what you liked in a game. Ninja Warriors was my favorite, but this game has the best music of any game ever(regardless of system)! And, it's definitely top 5 game of all time...
I close my eyes and flew to 1995...
YES !! and Mom's with those BIG VOLUME BANGS 🤣
ULTRA COMBO!!!
Man the nostalgia hits me everytime. My classmates in high school had a Killer Instinct tournament where the winner gets free lunch. I miss those times.
Lo jugaba de niño saliendo de la escuela. Que recuerdos!!, gran juego.
Sí nosotros cortabamos clase y now ibamos a jugar este mismo juego en la arcade! Esos eran los dias
One of the few video game theme songs that genuinely got me pumped up before playing it.
Underrated game. The opening music takes me back.
Donkey Kong Country 2 and Killer Instinct were the first 2 game i've ever played. Good times
+diamondmike100 The soundtracks from both still haunt my dreams.
I love both of those soundtracks!
@Cheruben25 Torned Could use an emulator and pack it with more games.
Rare used to be a fucking god among other game devs
@@hakkutsugames5422 yeah they achieved so much with fewer devs and hardware that devlopera could do today
The ONLY RIVAL to Mortal Kombat. Nuf' said.
Word.
with street fighter behind them loved some street fighter music good times
Killer instinct is better than MK. I said that I said that killer instinct is better than MK or than any fighting game
It was the other way around.
Only some people know how legendary this is
I have the original game because back in the days when you buy this this it came with a CD called Killer Kuts who remembers that
Thanks Dad for keeping the SNES and our copy of KI well into the 2010s. While all my fellow 2000s kids were going on about GTA 5 and Black Ops, I was trying to wrap my head around Spinal and Glacius.
My cat listened to this now he's a tiger
ههههههههههههههه الله يرحم ايام الطفولة
@@Rafeef90776 اه و الله
Now he's a pussy
Did you name him Jago?
incredible
I remember hearing this for the first time and that whole build up is what made it, felt like you were ready for anything! Still gives me chills and tears to this day
Regardless of whether it’s the SNES or arcade version this song will never fail to give me chills. I love that little bit of Donkey Kong in there that reminds you it’s Rare.
And now it's on SNES Switch online now!!! Still love this game sense I bought my Snes
they dont make games like this anymore... childhood memories
tenho 18 anos apenas , e esse jogo fez parte da minha vida... essa intro é uma das unicas que me fazem até chorar até hoje.
Same .❤
Me da escalofrío y siempre me dio desde que puse x primera vez el cartucho en e super Nintendo 😍😍presentación y música
A mis casi 33 años de edad escuchando esto es uno de los mejores soundtrack que he escuchado en mi vida ❤️

Nostalgia!!!!!!
Uno de los mejores intros de la historia.
Best intro music to any game....change my mind
The best intro and best theme song of all video games no other game compares not even MK(Mortal Kombat).
Come on man they are atleast om par
el mejor intro sountrack de todos!!!!
:') my child hood was awesome
One of the best decisions I made when I was a kid buying the killer instinct snes console
It’s on NSO now!
I’ll never be great at this game but I won’t forget when my dad showed me how to do combos. I managed to become better at it with Cinder. Even in the new game, I tried Cinder and it was all the same moves. Went 9 straight victories against other players at a comic con. Felt fucking awesome to have gotten that far.

This sounds like a final boss for DKC
I have gosebumps with this !!!
Que nostalgia, escalofríos al ver esto.
Lol there’s a 560 pound robot with lasers and machine guns and we just accepted that any of these people could beat him.
oh man a trip down memory lane ! killer combo !
That intro is so good, it gives me chills
This brings back all kinds of good memories.
I always had a crush on Orchid
2015 still gave me chills.
chills still in 2021 checking in
Games came with my snes, legendary black cartridge :’) I remember when my parents saved enough money to finally buy my sister and I one, we were so blessed. We would play this game, MK, street fighter, Donkey kong country, zelda, mario kart, megaman x, endless hours with the fam :) if I could go back to relive at least one day watching my favorite cartoons, eating junk food, playing games with no worries, Id do it without hesitation.
Remember these good old days guys Good times
Gracias Rareware por tu magnífico grano de arena, tu contribución a los logros y avances en los video juegos !
my brother was always beating my ass at this game and making me cry all the time as a kid 💀
can relate
This it the best Killer Instinct theme ever
I remember playing this with my sister and parents back in 1995 or so on our Super Nintendo that my dad got us for Christmas.
Switch time BABY!!!
It has been 30 years and i still get goosebumps within the first second of hearing the intro
How can you skip such a masterpiece, absolutely stunning
I’ll never forget that fall at 10 years old when this released and played with my best friend. We used to play this non stop and thought the black cartridge was so cool.
Dropping the 57 Chevy (as we called it) as Jago and watching Spinal’s humiliation were things I’ll never forget!
Essa abertura é épica! Fita preta e muitas jogatinas com os colegas. Simplesmente eterno.
melhor jogo do mundo , essa música me faz entrar no mundo do passado , me trás lembranças alegrias saudades .... melhor jogo do planeta
I feel nostalgic as soon as I hear the music, best game ever. Thanks bro.
La música es legendaria!😍
30 yrs and That 'killer Instinct ' call still gives me chills...... GOD thank you making me experience the 90's
all the nostalgic feelings...I was 10 when that game out.
oblivion85 lucky lol I was only 2 years old
1995.....I was 7. Fuck man I feel like a kid again listening to this XD
oblivion85 I think it's better than a new killer instinct...like if you agree please
I was 6
This is now my ringtone.❤
Brings back some great memories. This was my first game i had as kid as it came with my Super Nintendo
Thank you so much for uploading it. I have been looking for this years ago. I finally found it.
Who ever said “killer instinct” in the tittle can read me a book dayum
*KONO DIO DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

I've played Killer Instinct and Donkey Kong Country on SNES and KI GOLD on N64.
I spent soooo many quarters on this game back in the day! Always will be one of the most iconic fighters in my opinion
#CLASSIC ~One of The Best Game Of All Time~
My spirit elevates upon hearing the very first seconds, it burns upon going on
Una de las mejores intros de la historia del gaming!
I remember when I first saw this game at the mall arcade, and needless to say I was hooked by the ahead-of-its-time graphics & the soundtrack was excellent also!
This Has Always Been My Favorite Intro To Killer Instinct Growin Up 👍👍
This game was the TRUTH!!! I have this game in my collection the theme never gets old
I remember borrowing the cartridge from a buddy, popping it in on a Saturday morning and sitting their watching the intro for a good 30 mins 😂
Childhood flashback & a Nice Work Out Song
Este juego marco mi vida por completo,hizo que me enamorara del mundo de los video juegos hoy en pleno 2021 sigo enamorado del juego como desde el primer dia que lo jugue
Me pasa exactamente lo mismo
Eu sou apaixonado por esse jogo
God this takes me back...
My main was Spinal skeleton. Instantly remember my childhood with this. The music itself is a concentration of the late 80's vibe.
I was like 4 or 5 when i first played this game . Im 24 now searching up this theme for relaxation
Super Nintendo = My 1st Console
Killer Instinct = My 1st Game
its worth it just to hear those sweet sweet words...KILLER INSTINCT
Game is 23 Years Old. Cant Believe Its Been Awhile Since It Came Out On SNES Version.
