Check, little budget? Check, new business model? Check, change of developer? Check. This game is a textbook example on how studios should overcome hard challenges and deliver amazing games.

Oh no, there was some nasty crunch going on. Iron Galaxy were given the game from double helix and had to not only learn how to program and design for the game, but also make TJ combo in a month. That is some serious crunch going on there. But that did come about from unusual circumstances. It's not good, in fact it's pretty damn awful, but the management didn't completely fuck up, which is a rarity in modern gaming.

None of the games were huge blockbusters, but they were better than most blockbusters AAA games of their times.

Remembered playing KI and KI2 in the arcades, and doing those insane combos. Then recently a friend found a copy of KI2 for the 64. Its been almost 22 years since, I played this game and I managed to do those insane combos like it was yesterday man. The smile on my face was priceless.

I'd rather they continue the current KI than risk rebuilding a new game from the ground up. Already bad that KI was under a budget.

I'm so glad I got to Skype with James Goddard after Shadow Lords came out. It is the highest point of my gaming life. I got to influence a portion of my favorite series of all time through him after I broke the game mode so badly a couple of my clips managed to catch his attention and we chatted about how to fix some of the things I found. It was such an amazing moment and wouldn't have happened if KI wasn't such a community passion project.

God, I remember when Killer Instinct first came out during the dinosaur times I stood in the arcade just mesmerised by the "advanced" graphics. Like, I thought games would pretty much look like that forever because where else was there to go? Man, technology is crazy.

Last one in this series I recall having a wholesome progression is Demon's Souls, which... ...well, we know how that turned out now.

I remember when my local arcade growing up received KI 1 arcade cabinet. For about a month nobody wanted to play it and just stuck to games like Samurai Showdown, Tekken, and MK. One day 2 kids just started playing and slowly interest shifted away from MK and Tekken but went back playing them occasionally for kids to take on the number one player.

Best arcade moment of all time for me was watching my little brother playing this when he was about 10, working to beat the arcade mode with Orchid when a guy twice his age walk up, pop his quarters in, and take over. My brother kicked his butt. Guy swore up a storm, popped more quarters in, and not only got his ass kicked again, but was finished with an Ultra. Jerked was sweating life his life depended on finding new words to use, grabbed his quarters and stormed off. My brother proceeded to beat the game and see the ending. Never been so proud. He was quite good at the game. :-)

i hated crap like that in the arcades there were always punks like that in the arcades my arcades were always good about kicking people like that out when they were discovered ..there was a version of mk2 or 3 that if you beat someone in 2 player it counted for story mode and my bro was like 11 and had tons of people trying to stomp him cause he was a kid that he never fought the computer except for the end but i remember it got to the point where they gave the kids their own section with diff cabnients which had things like lowered difficulty and the like

Let's be honest: This was made to tell Microsoft we need a proper "Killer Instinct Sequel" on the Series X/S. Something to which I'm all for. That and it is actually nice to see a "What happened?" episode for a game that didn't go completely wrong. At least from what I can tell since outside of the launch of six characters, KI had a hell of a run.
