Killer Instinct - KIGOLD & KI2 Comparison - N64 Vs Arcade (Ultra Combos)

[@AeromaticAero]

My entire childhood was with ki gold. I was an adult by the time i realize that ki2 existed; it was like a brand new game for me. Such a good looking game

[@gabrielmassa]

Arcade has better graphics and the movies, but I like the zoom and the star like rays when hit on the N64 version . BTW Perfect timing in the comparison.

[@damien9788]

Moi je n'aime pas du tout le zoom, ça rend l'action confuse en surchargant l'écran et ça laisse apparaître des pixels. Ce n'est pas joli.

[@davidshirley4696]

I hated the zoom in 🤢

[@beastorizeofsion]

The rays are cool and reminiscent of 2D fighting games, cool way to market the game for a younger audience but the arcade version remains SUPREME! 😊 I am a fan of the Gold version though. Though it's still grim without blood because you can do finishers xD I never understood why Hudson turned off blood on Bloody Roar Primal Fury for the GCN either, this shit is hilarious!

[@georgezee5173]

@@davidshirley4696 Yeah I hate it too. A little bit is fine, but they zoom in too much and it actually makes things look worse.

[@kinganarkzie]

Gold's backgrounds looked so bad. It's not just the low polygon and blury textures but also the wild camera angles. Look how bad it looks at 02:13, it's almost like the characters are laying on the ground. I get that wanted to show off the technical abilities of the system but they would have been better off going with tge simple pre-rendered look off the snes version of the first game.

They're both beautiful! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@icekokoro2708]

I bet if the Expansion Pak existed then, or if the game was rereleased with optimization possibly even in conjunction with the N64DD if it had been released when it was supposed to be, the N64 version could have been equal to the arcade.

[@omegarugal9283]

[@荒巻正男]

@@omegarugal9283 well maybe not exactly as the arcade version but slightly better than what we got.

[@JazGalaxy]

Nintendo could have made it. Ether if they wanted to. The difference between cartridges and cds that modern games run on is that carts are hardware. Like the super fox chip, they can build better processors and whatnot right into the package: there really was no limit to how powerful and. 64 game could be (with bottlenecks) if Nintendo wanted to pony up the cash to beef up the cart. A KI3 would have looked as good as KI2 arcade, probably.

[@sladekiske]

I remember an old 1996 issue of EGM I had showing tiny comparison screens shots of the N64 and arcade and just praising how much it had been 'improved' on N64. I now wonder how much they were paid by Rare and/or Nintendo in ad revenue that holiday season.

[@michaelzoran]

The first thing you notice is the resolution of the arcade version is higher. The next thing you notice is the detail in the backgrounds is much greater in the arcade version.

[@amauriherrera6022]

Arcade had better texture, more frames added due to the pre-renders. Despite the open horizons, stages feel weightless. However, KI Gold has all Ultimates, better camera movement and since it's in real time special nifty things like reflective surfaces and interactive stages. Also better particle effects. This and their more contained cells gives the arenas a sense of weight. If it actually utilized the Expansion Pak it could have implemented texture quality of Perferct Dark(another Rare jewel) level. Personal opinion, I prefer the taste in sprite art-stills on victories and victory posing in matches for KI Gold. Arcade has some ridiculous posing, breaking character and I lose immersion. Overall, this is the classic it has better graphics so it's a better game bs. New doesn't always mean better. It's like saying 3D anime is better than 2D because its technologically advanced rather than measuring upon its intended merit.

[@sappgirl1]

There's no denying that Kim Wu's Stage at least has better floor reflection on N64 than the arcade, Everything else, the arcade is better.

[@georgezee5173]

But why is that floor reflective though? That stage looks better in N64 but the background is way better in the arcade. A mix of both would be perfect. Actually, the stage in the arcade looks so surprisingly simple that it makes me think it was a very last minute idea.

[@edman813]

I'm amazed they even included snow in the N64 version, you'd think that would be an arcade thing they'd cut on the N64.

[@guarapo66]

KI gold is actually a very good port ! Zoom in and out effects are better on the N64 because of the stages been real 3D.

[@thomasbeall9069]

Agreed, wish a KI3 was made directly for N64. Gold was smooth and only truely great orthodox fighter on N64. People forget it started the combo meter and was like a mash up of SF and MK. I imagined MK vs SF would play like KI.

KI2 is very interesting to me. This game series in my view point has so much potential and unfortunately KI2 sadly falls short in my opinion. Look, I’m not a game developer clearly lol and I couldn’t do a better job. But what happened? The character roster shows promise with returning characters that are updated and look great, but the new characters to me are simply weak. it seems like they lost focus on developing a new cast of characters to help Carry this sequel to the next high ground. The graphics show promise on certain levels like tusks, Fulgor and glacius’s level, but honestly, I prefer the graphics of KI 1 over the N64 3D upgrade. I also think the fire graphics that show up when characters hit one another is overdone and takes away from the gritty ambience of the first game. There’s something missing in KI2, almost like it’s missing more substance and soul. Also: I wonder if the creators could have not used the sprites and put that memory into bettering the graphics overall? I played KIgold a lot in the past and it’s a fun game. It is a good game in my opinion and the creators did a good job in what they created. KI to me is a game with great potential but it seems to be missing a really solid story line to bring it the soul and substance I think it’s missing.

[@4nimalidad]

The resolution in arcade is much better. This is evident in the sprite details. In N64, many stages are empty, poorly finished or have very poor resolutions (pay attention to the mountains of Kim Wu's stage or the terrible quality of the textures in Jago's stage). On the other hand, the arcade pre-render is magnificent and gives a "movie" feel, almost like a full motion video.

[@aaron_aj_knight_95]

It shouldn't come off as surprising, as the port was rushed only a few months after the arcade release.

[@vectorx2907]

@@aaron_aj_knight_95 It was not about rushed or not, the problem was the medium for the storage. All those prerendered backdrops and character animation was impossible to fit on a cart. Thanks to nintendo decisions the port was a disaster.

[@aaron_aj_knight_95]

It’s quite impressive for a first generation N64 title, but it looks rushed, especially that Rare had multiple games in development & all the Ultra 64 branding on the arcade.. If they delayed this, gave it more resources and the expansion pak, it would have been a better product.

[@pek3to]

It always amazes me that Nintendo and Rare developed the original Killer Instinct to show off the processing power of the N64 (then known as the Ultra 64), but due to the many delays of the console the game was never even released for the N64. THEN they decided to add a bunch of flashy features into the aecade version of KI2, so that when THAT game was released on the N64 it couldn't even retain all of the arcade version's features. It just dumbfounds me that both games were designed to show off the N64 and it didn't properly port EITHER game to the system.

i owned killer instinct gold back in the day. i thought it was a 1:1 port till today. but now i see that the arcade version has way more atmosphere and looks much more detailed!! and the videos are awesome between fights. strange, because i remember back in they day the told us the ultra 64 arcade is technically the same as the future home console from nintendo ;-))

[@sladekiske]

Yeah, that was an absolute lie. For one, the arcade machines of KI and KI2 actually had hardrives, which N64 obviously didn't. I do wonder if it would've been a better port if the N64 was CD-ROM.

[@SimonvCleef]

+sladekiske Port is still very good to be honest the people that really played ki gold back in the day had nothing to cry about. We didn't have videos like this to compare the two side by side. And besides that like I mentioned earlier KI gold is a very good game anyway. Nobody was talking about the port of the snes compared to the arcade one. And to add to it: gaming on a console is always better than on an arcade machine. The experience itself, just being able to play it with a controller in your own house.

[@plasticboy81]

@simon v. cleef and what has the super nintendo port to do with the arcade port??! the n64 came later as the original killer instinct and the arcade machines had a video before the game starts where a voice coming to your home on ultra 64!! so they promised us an EXACT port and said to the people that the arcade machine is the same as the n64 that came out later. the n64 was originally named ULTRA 64 like the arcade machine. killer instinct gold isnt a bad game. but its totallt not the arcade port. the point is that they promised this and said the arcade has the same hardware as the home version console.

[@SimonvCleef]

Yes guys in most cases gaming on a console is better. The nes blew arcades away with inferior hardware, but with better games. Not everybody is into the same mindless 1 on 1 fighting games that the neo geo etc offered later on. Neo geo was an arcade experience at home. Yes arcades were fun to a particular point, but I would never get an arcade machine over the bigger consoles of the 3th-6th generaties. Pc gaming was also better from the 90s etc.

[@plasticboy81]

Simon v. Cleef i totally disagree . there are SO MANY arcade games that are way better than NES games. what the hell are you talking about?! most of the NES games CAME from the arcades lets talk about most of the nes games where the originals came from the arcade: double dragon, ghost n goblins,kung fu, gauntlet, battletoads and on and on and on they where all 100 times better than the crappy nes ports LOOOL...and pc was a joke compared to arcade machines in the 90's!! arcades had virtua fighter, daytona usa, ridge racer, die hard arcade, house of the dead, 18 wheeler, crazy taxi, virtua racing and on and on and on...and the neo geo doesnt just had beat em ups only there are also many shooters and jump n shoots. nowdays consoles are way superior and arcade machines are no more. but in the 90;s the arcade machines where WAY WAY better and had of course 10000 of different games with different genres. back in the days everybody woul have killed for the arcade titles. because they where so awesome. a whole collection of jamma arcade titles puts every nes collection to sleep in terms of FUN ;-)) btw. i owned almost every console available back in the day even the neo geo AES which i just sold 4 months ago. i am not an native english speaker btw. because my grammar isnt perfect i think.

Most of you are missing the point.

Killer Instinct Gold was pretty close to the arcade in an essential and most important thing: the game play is identical!!!

"Smoother" because the Textures they use for the console are way lower resolution, the CPU and GPU on the 64 was fairly weak, so they had to compensate a LOT, since the actual arcade is basically a PC and the actual game is like 1.3gb vs a cartridge that had a max capacity of like maybe 30mb

N64 hardware was soooooo under powered xD like it was weak ASF, most the games they tried to make, ran like trash on that console, like golden eye, perfect dark, ki2, a bunch of games would suffer bad fps dips.

[@sebastiann.8088]

@D core Those are only a few good games you listed

[@sebastiann.8088]

N64 was trash. Playstation and especially the Sega Saturn were MUCH better. Saturn also had faster load times, more RAM than the PS1, and vastly superior 2D capabilities. Just look at all the nearly arcade perfect shmups and fighting games on the Saturn and X-men vs Streetfighter is a good example of this being superior to the Playstation port.

@D core N64 was a flop in Japan and even the Sega Saturn outsold it 2 to 1. Sure there are a couple of great classics on the N64, but compared to the game libraries of the 2 other competing consoles at the time, it was pretty pathetic. And your statement about most people preffering RE2 on N64 is the dumbest shit I have ever heard. The FMVs are all greatly compressed and of significantly lower quality and the sound effect are of lower quality as well. The textures look worse and it's a miracle that they even got the full game on to one cartridge, albeit with some serious compromises.

@D core Not to mention the shitty N64 controller. What were they thinking when they came up with that design???

[@FS-rm1yg]

The scenarios are very collorful not even close cool of the first game

arcade espectacular ,igual después de la killer 1y2 las otras no existen son horribles y el sonido de los golpes espantosos

[@777Eliyahu]

The Nintendo 64 was good at only two things, rendering lots of polygons and having a wide draw distance. It was not well suited for a high res 2D game like this. Also, this game sucks royally compared to the first one. That said, this is actually a pretty good port..

the arcade is on a old CRT if it were progress CRT even it would be WAY YYYYYY batter

[@thomasbeall9069]

No, that’s not true. Arcade monitors were rgb, songs much better picture than a home tv. Home TVs used component to try and resemble rgb. It’s close but not the same

[@deandregauntt]

It looks different to me

[@andrecosta9253]

Graphics , 50% arcade.

[@ROMANEMPIRE69]

I’m just gonna say it. Whether it’s memory limitation or Nintendo censorship. The booby animations are severely cut down. 🤪🤪

[@omegarugal9283]

censorship...

[@andresobando2541]

El de arcade se nota que es mejor en graficos creo que solo seria eso, en el nintendo 64 una una gran diferencia de opciones cuando completas el juego que lo hacen 10 mil millones % mejor que el de arcade,

[@DrMarcoAurelioBaldo]
