@@vd792 Yeah because the Ulra 64 was not as powerful as first stated it would be. But when I first saw this intro in the arcade I almost passed out. Everyone already knew about the upcoming Ultra 64. There was no internet but everyone who ever played a game knew about it. And so many people would have bought it. But after delay and delay, namechange a lot of people were sick of it and bought the Playstation that took the world. Not saying the N64 was bad, cause it has a lot of amazing games, but it would have changed everything.
Man, to see this again makes me quite emotional. this was by far my FAVORITE game as a child growing up. I remember how amazed i was when i first saw this game and still am amazed by it today. I miss this game!
@zenjiros - I was also 14, loved this game every time I went to the bowling alley, all you hear was this loud speaker playing on this arcade cabinet, and the bowling balls crashing in the background. Jago is my favorite.
There's an interview with the guys at Rare who made it...the goal was indeed to stick out above the rest of the arcade. I remember it the same way. It was the loudest and coolest thing in the arcade by my house at 8-12 years old.
Damn the nostalgia man!! My mind was completely blown as an 9 year old kid seeing this game for the first time back in '95. There was literally no other fighting game like it, the graphics, the combo system, the music, it was all on another level at the time. I remember the first time i saw it was at a CiCi's Pizza next to Crusin' USA and Battle Arena Toshinden. Everytime i went to that CiCi's KI would be all i would play. Hell i would barely even eat any pizza, i'd just beg for quarters and run to go play it basically the whole time we were there, lol.
this was the best arcade era....EVER. when ki came out, all my fav arcade hits got reduced to ashes. my friend made a killing at school selling printed out ki faq's manuals. no game had me this hype. going to the mall with my friends, we would walk to the arcade and as soon as we heard sounds from ki like...ultraaaaaaaaa comboooooooooooo...we started running.
Man I was 12-13 when I saw this in the arcade.. I'll never forget that.. I must have rented a SNES with this game a half a dozen times.. I also remember being disapointed that the N64 wasn't able to have those sweet intro videos like the arcade had.
My god I forgot how EPIC the announcer was back then and I just simply loved the music that was playing while selecting your character,it rings in my head still to this day.LONG LIVE KILLER INSTINCT
Lost the count of how many times I've played it. And the times I finished it, since Eyedol and Fulgore are actually really hard to beat, and man this is so good!
I will never forget the first time I saw this in the arcade as a 14 year old........I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks! My brain went in to high gear to try and memorize the awesome music tracks I heard on the first listen!
I too will never forget the first time I saw this. I literally watched people play this for 2 hours straight. I could not wrap my brain around how amazing it looked. There were CROWDS around this thing for months.
This was one of the few fighters I played in the arcade. I remember the advertisement for the Ultra 64 in '95 which was delayed and didn't come out until later. The SNES version was one of the best games for the system.
Imagine this: If you're in the arcade with your friends, there are SFII, MK and Killer Instinct machines. You just walk in and what will be the first thing that will take your attention? Exactly: Killer Instinct has such a screaming and epic intro that it will imediatly take your attention. And it would be well worth it!
I remember this game being really shitty on snes graphics wise until my father took me to the arcades and showed me this awesome version. Made me a fan after.
Burnpro Burn ayo don't you go crappin on the snes, I bought one JUST for killer instinct.....and sunset riders.....but I really love K I and the snes was a fun substitute for when you didn't have an arcade cabinet nearby.....
When the SNES port came out, there was a bonus CD with the arcade soundtrack in the box. I am SOOOO glad that I bought it from my friend for $5 back in the day.
THE ANNOUNCER....he totally MADE this game what it was. Such a deep, reverberating voice! I could hear it from a mile away. Every single voice sample gave this game pure POWER. If they make a KI3, they MUST have this announcer back. My favorite sample is "C-C-C-COMMMMMBO BREAKER!"
You're right about the graphics, HotRod97SS. Both KI games' graphics STILL look great, over 10 years later. This series was truly a Rare Masterpiece, and it would be interesting to see how the game would look utilizing today's graphic technology. ...Now, if only we could get another version on Live Arcade (With Online Play!!), I'd be in gaming heaven...
DOES ANYONE AGREE WITH ME WHEN I SAY that this game opening was the BEST with song and everything else for all of gaming history? I swear to god it is. I miss playing this on my super nintendo! Long live Killer Instinct and remake it and ill get it on DAY FREAKING ONE!
the combos that would go on for days like hours after the person you just beat took the walk or shuffle of shame... right to a place called Orange Julius.... anyone remember this place?
@CUBEoneVX But this Killer Instinct is the firts one which really came out only for the SNES. However the Killer Instinct Gold which is KI 2 came out only for the Nintendo 64. So they lied by telling us that it was going to be released on 1995 for the Nintendo 64 only. You get what I'm saying?
I still remember standing and watching people play this for hours the day it came out ( i ran out of quarters)...I was gobsmacked at how good it looked. It was a fricking event. Nothing since in the arcade has captured my interest, except maybe Hydro Thunder...
Since Donkey Kong was a Nintendo Franchise, it was only natural for Nintendo to RETAIN their own license when they split from Rare. Rare was simply the developer of the series. THAT'S why you see stuff like Diddy Kong in Smash Bros. Brawl, and all the Donkey Kong games after Nintendo split from Rare being somewhat...'inspired' by the Donkey Kong Country series. Notice how Rare kept their own original properties after the split, like Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct, Conker, Banjo-Kazooie, etc...
I remember when reach time-out that day and saw Mk2 and the Street Fighter machines empty. This was the first fighting that have a hard drive in it, and the first fighting game created outside Japan to have such fame.
Damn, I was 15 when this game came out. I loved going to the bowling alley playing it in Florida. I always waited for the Ultra 64 and sadly it never came out...
nothing, I'm just expressing my opinion, is the arcade version Killer Instinct available on any home console like the Xbox? because I have Midway Arcade Treasures for Xbox and it has Mortal Kombat 2, and the graphics of it are exactly the same as the Arcade version, but have they done the same thing with Killer Instinct?
Hello. My Name Is Aelohim Balthrop. I would like to say that i have been a dedicated fan of Bethesda games for many years. Ever since my ex girlfriend introduced me to Elder Scrolls 5 I was just delighted to play for many hours. I Played Fallout 4 with eagerness tried to complete all the quests, find all the legendary weapons and amulets with sheer joy. I was even more excited when DLCs and Mods were being made exploring all the features and possibilities having fun. When Fallout 76 was in stores, I was one of the first to physically run TO the store and purchase a copy! Along with a brand new computer that can handle the graphics and game size. I was so excited. Finally, Fallout 4....with friends!!! Or so I thought..... I got home, opened my PLASTIC SEALED plastic case. I was horrified! Where is MY game disk??? I physically went to the store to BUY the actual copy of the game in DISK FORM. I actually thought someone had stolen it or there was missing product. I looked at the DISK-LIKE card with a freaking game code..... Not even a sweet poster or stickers..... No just A game code.... Bound by a plastic case, sealed in plastic.... If that was the case I would have NEVER acually go to the store and PURCHASE a physical disk containing the game. 47-50 Gigs!!! If this is a joke. Its in very poor taste. In my area the speed of internet is super slow and there are only two service providers in Houston. I have not even gotten to play the game. Constant server errors, reset connections, restarting the process twice just when I had over half the game downloaded. It really is terrible. I feel angry. I feel scammed. Defrauded. Just plain let down by a company I had so much respect and admiration for. If it was the question of a game code, then why cant you just sell the game online and send me an email? Why go through the trouble of wasting plastic and paper to sell me a sealed empty BOX??? this is ridiculous! How can I get a physical disk. To install the game and play? If not a USB memory stick? Please fix this. I am a dedicated Bethesda Fan
Esse jogo fez parte de um dos melhores momentos da minha infancia, quando eu tinha o super nitendo e desafiava os meus primos e irmão, eu era a melhor com a Orchid ( a garota do bastão). rsrsrs Muitas saudades!!!!!
Okay to get this straight wasn't the one for original game boy the first one or what because that has a deferent theme that this and its not colored or anything just the original gray game.
When my arcade first got this, I could barely see what was going on because of the big crowd, and the fact I was usually one of the youngest and shortest. This and all the other "headliners" were put in these big "jumbo" cabinets, I wish I knew the correct term for them. They don't make games with jacked up heavy music anymore...games competed on the floor in a loudness war of sorts

Greatest lie ever xD
KILLER INSTINCT

The intro there just sends chills down my spine. EPIC!!. Awww yeah!!
The best promotional intro of all time!
"Available for your home in 1995 ONLY ON NINTENDO ULTRA 64!!"
Ah the memories...
You'll be missed Rareware.
Man, to see this again makes me quite emotional. this was by far my FAVORITE game as a child growing up. I remember how amazed i was when i first saw this game and still am amazed by it today. I miss this game!
Still one of the best themes in any game soundtrack EVER
when he pronounce the name FULGORE!! what an EPICNESS
I remember when I was a kid I never thought there would be another fighting game that would drag me away from Mortal Kombat.....I was wrong....lol

Available for your home in 1995 only on Nintendo Ultra 64!!! ..... Never heard of ever again =T
still gives me chills hearing that... Ultra 64 was looking badass! Then it became Nintendo 64 and more kid friendly
bobcharlotte exactly lol
Might be the single dopest line ever spoken?!?...

best guitar riff ever !
This is the intro that I personally like especially when annoucing the ULTRA 64 which turned into the Nintendo cube.
ah, teenage memories... thanks for the good times!
Killer Instinct. I love that part so much as the music builds up.
Man I was 12-13 when I saw this in the arcade.. I'll never forget that.. I must have rented a SNES with this game a half a dozen times.. I also remember being disapointed that the N64 wasn't able to have those sweet intro videos like the arcade had.
This was music to my ears! 😢 Thank you!
My god I forgot how EPIC the announcer was back then and I just simply loved the music that was playing while selecting your character,it rings in my head still to this day.LONG LIVE KILLER INSTINCT

GREATEST VIDEO GAME EVER!!!!
I know right? And that theme sounds totally heavy metal!

I remember the first time I saw this in 94 my jaw literally dropped because the graphics were leaps and bounds beyond anything at the time.
I will never forget the first time I saw this in the arcade as a 14 year old........I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks! My brain went in to high gear to try and memorize the awesome music tracks I heard on the first listen!

Takes you back doesnt it?
@saiyanwill Forget about that, because this game is awesome and it is on MAME!!! Or did you already know about it?
Zordon does the voiceover in the beginning? I never realized that.
featuring one of the best intro voices for a game.
presenting...Killer Instinct
so epic
best fight game ever. the dream of all players, hear screaming ultra combo in the game room
Imagine this: If you're in the arcade with your friends, there are SFII, MK and Killer Instinct machines. You just walk in and what will be the first thing that will take your attention?
Exactly: Killer Instinct has such a screaming and epic intro that it will imediatly take your attention. And it would be well worth it!
@zenjiros I was about 13 , I was amazed by the graphics and the music , I WISH RARE WOULD COME OUT OF THERE CAVE AND MAKE SOMETHING AS AWESOME AS THIS
BEST INTRO!
I remember this game being really shitty on snes graphics wise until my father took me to the arcades and showed me this awesome version. Made me a fan after.
Burnpro Burn ayo don't you go crappin on the snes, I bought one JUST for killer instinct.....and sunset riders.....but I really love K I and the snes was a fun substitute for when you didn't have an arcade cabinet nearby.....
This was the introduction to hype me up the most out of any game ever made. "Coming to your home in 1995, only on Nintendo Sixty Four!"
Thats what the intro shoulda' said
No, because this awedome Version never came. Just killer instinct Gold in 1996 and it Was miles behind the Arcade Version.
When the SNES port came out, there was a bonus CD with the arcade soundtrack in the box. I am SOOOO glad that I bought it from my friend for $5 back in the day.
THE ANNOUNCER....he totally MADE this game what it was. Such a deep, reverberating voice! I could hear it from a mile away. Every single voice sample gave this game pure POWER. If they make a KI3, they MUST have this announcer back. My favorite sample is "C-C-C-COMMMMMBO BREAKER!"
I still get goosebumps when the Nintendo logo comes toward the screen and the announcer says Available in 1995 ONLY for Nintendo Ultra 64
Used to play this game on SNES! Brings back memories. I wish they had a version on PC or Playstation 2!
Thanks Midway,Rareware and specially Super Nintendo for made our childhood the funniest ever!
man l miss Video game Announcers like this! it made you feel like you where playing something more than just a game!
I hope KI3 gets made.
Nearly 20 years on and still the most bad ass musical intro in video game history
The intro sounds exactly like the beginning of this SOS Band song-Just the Way You Like It.
This intro is so fucking badass like no joke...That vibe is indescribable!!
@saiyanwill They aren't fortune tellers?
You're right about the graphics, HotRod97SS. Both KI games' graphics STILL look great, over 10 years later. This series was truly a Rare Masterpiece, and it would be interesting to see how the game would look utilizing today's graphic technology.

Omg I remember this game.. I really master this game.. Played it every day after school. Wish they will remake another one..
this game was wayyy ahead of its time hopefully this gets a reboot for the ps3
@HackerMTY6 The Ultra 64 was the beta name for the Nintendo 64 back in 1994/1995. Since the N64 was skipped to 1996, Killer Instinct came to the SNES
when are they going to come out with part 3
@footballero2010 The Pirate Bay?
I always love how involved the Announcer is.
Everything he ever said was Ultra Epic.
The announcer is just so F***ing EPIC at the end! I love it
DOES ANYONE AGREE WITH ME WHEN I SAY that this game opening was the BEST with song and everything else for all of gaming history? I swear to god it is. I miss playing this on my super nintendo! Long live Killer Instinct and remake it and ill get it on DAY FREAKING ONE!
Best soundtrack and sound effects ever for a game. For these who were used to the SNES version, the arcade was the climax.
the combos that would go on for days like hours after the person you just beat took the walk or shuffle of shame... right to a place called Orange Julius.... anyone remember this place?
I know dude and I apreaciate it. I need to remake this video, its soooooooo olddddd
That would rock, we also have a chance to see KI & KI:Gold on the VC as well
@silverbeast75
MS bought Rare so the question is if it's coming to 360.
@CUBEoneVX But this Killer Instinct is the firts one which really came out only for the SNES. However the Killer Instinct Gold which is KI 2 came out only for the Nintendo 64. So they lied by telling us that it was going to be released on 1995 for the Nintendo 64 only. You get what I'm saying?

the rareware logo looks fantastic in this game
at school,we play this like a drug
What memories.... amazing. @0:57 player selection seems Rocky IV soundtrack... when Ivan Drago waits the match under ring against Apollo.
this game is timeless. Still looks as cool as it ever did.
@johnlucas1 hey this version is for de nintendio 64 or only for arcade
Oh my God, the memories. Now those were the days...
damn i miss the arcade days I used to go to the food court down the street play this shit be big ass lines all getting are as kicked by one dude lol.
Damn, I was 15 when this game came out. I loved going to the bowling alley playing it in Florida. I always waited for the Ultra 64 and sadly it never came out...

Rare is supposed to be revealing a new title from a classic series at E3 this year!
@johnlucas1 SO MUCH FUKING POWER AND EPICNESS IN SUCH MERE WORDS
Esse jogo fez parte de um dos melhores momentos da minha infancia, quando eu tinha o super nitendo e desafiava os meus primos e irmão, eu era a melhor com a Orchid ( a garota do bastão). rsrsrs
Muitas saudades!!!!!
u think like me when it comes to graphics and music.i love the character select music brings back memories when i used to olay arcades in the bronx.
brings ups good memory's ^^
Wait, did the arcade version of Killer Instinct have the Nintendo logo in the opening movie? Damnit, I friggen wanted an Xbox Live Arcade port.
Okay to get this straight wasn't the one for original game boy the first one or what because that has a deferent theme that this and its not colored or anything just the original gray game.
i miss this game. we are due for KI3!!!!!!!!!! whats up rare we as fans deserve it after a what almost 20 years!! thats a long time for a game wait yo
onde eu encontro para baixar esse jogo? estou com muitas saudades
And then it came to the SNES. It still kicked the ass of all future games and presnt day games.
duuuude, please tell me where you got that soundtrack..pleeease :-D
why did Nintendo sell Rare!!!!!!!!!
the GameBoy came out after the SNES one. Arcade came first, then SNES, I had the GameBoy KI.
@ERiNxtc420 Does it have KI?
One of the best intro in all gaming intro if not the best...shit send chill down my spine..
Put sooooooooooooo much quarters into that damn arcade game when I was a kid! Would be nice if it was on Xbox live, and please come out with a 3rd!
Mortal Kombat got the ball rolling. Killer Instinct evolved the game!
The world needs a Killer Instinct 3.
Make it happen RARE!
When my arcade first got this, I could barely see what was going on because of the big crowd, and the fact I was usually one of the youngest and shortest. This and all the other "headliners" were put in these big "jumbo" cabinets, I wish I knew the correct term for them. They don't make games with jacked up heavy music anymore...games competed on the floor in a loudness war of sorts
Been going through mine for 15 years. We never got this game for a home console. We got the watered down SNES version and the fuzzy KI gold on N64.
this game almost followed in mortal kombat footsteps as far as the combos,and dark storylines
Remember the arcade in the mall having this. Miss the good ol days of quarters and worn out hands from joy stick and button pressing
Dude Rare also made Conquers Bad Fur Day. Churning out the hits
I totally agree!! My favorite sample is ULTRAAAAAAAA COMBOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is so cool. I love it!
man this was my favorite game as a kid
can you get this game on the computer i miss that game
Thanks I apreciate your comment.
