They have a funny comic. I also agree that a sequel to Killer Instinct would have been ten thousand times more interesting. Ah well, I'll be passing on this one.

How ya doing, buddy?

The game had little depth, true, but its gimmick of ridiculously long, and cool looking combos sold it really well. It also had an excellent presentation with its FMVs and an awesome announcer. Killer Instinct just appealed to the same crowd as the one for Mortal Kombat.

This game wasn't a Tekken or VF, but those games had so many sequels to perfect their gameplay while Rare gave up on KI when KI2 flopped. Essentially, the series had a lot of potential, but never really went anywhere.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
