Available for your home in 1995 only on nintendo ultra 64! I love that voice. :D

[@MamonFighter761]

The home version of the game was scheduled to be released in 1995, but it was delayed in 1996 as Killer Instict Gold because N64 was already in development until it was made to be released that year.

[@IFuruya]

Mamon Fighter 761 Oh? I didn't know that! That's pretty interesting :D

[@jamealjordon1376]

Now You're Playing With Power! Ultra Power!

[@broden4838]

Chris Sutherland for the win

[@3Rayfire]

That part was always fire. I stood around in the arcade just to listen to this intro.

[@PrimitiveBaroque]

That intro has to be the best of all time. The presentation is pure hype. When I was younger I used to just stand there appreciating the graphics.

[@calippo80]

Best intro of all time for sure...unmatched. I could stay in front of the cabinet hours watching it endlessly!

[@Xx-Anwar-xX]

same hahahaha it was so bad ass .

[@FavianTubeX]

Of all time? Really?

[@PrimitiveBaroque]

@@FavianTubeX One could arguably say that X-Men vs Streetfighter is also one of the top intros, but remember KI was at the beginning of commercially successful CG rendered games and it marks a full embrace of a new era.

[@seang9450]

I still workout to this song in my 30s🤣😂🤣. Bro I'd save my lunch money throughout the week and go hungry because every Friday we went to the bowling alley and I'd play this game. There was a dude there that nobody could beat. If you played against him every match was gonna end with ULTRA! ULTRA! ULTRA! Dude was sick with Orchid🤣🤣😂😂

[@nickbuis3307]

Just put this on full blast on your speakers. The part when it says "Killer Instinct" just gives me a shiver and a chill on my Spinal!!!

Can we all just appreciate how *godlike* Rareware’s games were from the 1990’s-2002? Killer Instinct, Killer Instinct 2, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong Country Trilogy, Goldeneye 64, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, Battletoads, Banjo-Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, the list goes on… *God* I wish they never left Nintendo. They’ve been a shell of their former selves since then. :(

[@4rgenn]

Best intro of all time!!

[@OccuredJakub12]

Goosebumps every time the beat drops. If there's one thing KI does perfectly, it's atmosphere. Even with the goofy 3D models, clunky animations, odd gameplay style and general jank, this game has a timeless charm. How am I so sure? I never grew up on this game. And I love it.

[@Polarcupcheck]

You are spot on. I was in my teens when this game dropped, and it felt completely next level. It was like a blend of MK1 and Primal Rage. Totally new school as far as presentation. I never played enough to get good at it, as I walked away from the arcade battles. Plus it was too many games coming out. MKIII in the same year and War Gods in 1996. There was no "game" that everyone was doing.

[@thereddragon3048]

I remember this being the loudest arcade! That theme was fire when it hit! 🔥🔥🔥

1994... Bruh I was 6 in that year, and I still have crystal clear memories of going to the arcades with my older brother and playing KI (somehow I remember this happening a bit later like 1996-ish, but the memories of Riptor pwning us every single time are clear as if it was yesterday) So nostalgic, this literally brings me back to my childhood ♥️

Anything related to Midway and Nintendo is sadly removed in the "KI Classic" versions. It isn't the same...

When my friend and I founded out this cabinet back in the day we got flabbergasted. We barely can believe THIS and Nintendo we're related. Rareware games never failed shattering people's expectations.

[@huecobros]

So i remember back in the early 90's, i used to hang out at my local arcade shop, visiting there, i noticed all the kids were gathered around a cabinet, i didn't pay attention as i suddenly realized i could play all the other games without haste. After some minutes i went to check out what the fuss was about and remember seeing this intro, i was instantly blown away, it felt like watching the future right in front of you.

[@George_Kappa]

After 27 vears it is the first time i'm seeing this intro. Totally masterpiece. Killer Instict was one of my top favorites on SNES.

[@flinten7485]

I believe KI Gold was the only KI game that officially released on the N64. KI Gold is the console version of KI 2. The first KI was ported to the SNES though. But, the SNES is only 16-bit so it didn't look nearly as good as the arcade version.

[@pjclash8583]

That was a badass intro!

[@Rodrigo025]

Mk 2 another epic intro

[@josephjefferies346]

I just came from TwistedGamingTV and I saw some changes on Killer Instinct Arcade 1up. 1. Code Mystics replaced Ultra 64 2. Arcade 1up replaced Nintendo 3. TasteMakers replaced Midway (since they're long gone anyway) 4. Microsoft replaced Nintendo They kept Rare's logo, Killer Instinct logo, and parental advisory. They recreated the original 1994 arcade intro.

[@davedavidson3605]

Thats some next gen shit right there. cant wait for 1995 to arrive

[@SolidSonicTH]

Actually, I could probably chalk that up to better vocal recording techniques than they had in 1994. Things sound clearer and less compressed than they did 19 years ago. For instance, when they were developing MGS: The Twin Snakes, the devs wanted to just port the audio from the PS1 game but found out that because of the GC's better sound processor, the fact the dialogue had been recorded in a converted apartment would become evident because the traffic from outside could be heard.

[@SilentImmortal-]

that killer instinct, sounds cool.

[@dahitmann]

Available in 1995 only on Nintendo Ultra 64. We never got it. Neither in name nor capabilities. The engine used in KI wasn't even running on any kind of hardware the Nintendo 64 would eventually feature. So instead they "backport" the game to SNES with extremely limited graphics, sound, and even gameplay in some cases. Nintendo 64 would get "KI Gold", which was a port of KI2, not KI1, which again is a downgrade from the arcade, but not as bad as with the SNES KI. Promises not kept. We never got our KI on "Ultra 64".
