- A direct port of the arcade classic Killer Instinct on Xbox Series S. A less then perfect play through as I revisit one of my all time favourite arcade games from my past.
I played the SNES version every since i was 8 years old. Didn't know the Arcade version existed til I turned 25 years old & i am now 29 & still enjoy playing Killer Instinct!
I miss soundtracks like this SOOO much!
One of the best game soundtracks ever. The soundtrack is available in Apple Music if you use that. I’ll listen to it sometimes in my car and not give the slightest crap about what people who hear it and think “wtf is this guy listening to?” Lol
@@BushyStallion One of the most 90s gaming sound track ever! I had the opening theme recorded on cassette and played it till the the tape got ate.
I used to listen to it when I worked out all the time. Really helped me get my pump 💪on!
@@oOBranxietyOo I still listen to it if it comes up in my Gym tunes, no joke I added the theme and Cinders level music to my playlist lol 👊🏼
The hype i felt at the arcade watching this cannot be described... the graphics were unreal and everything was just on another level
The hype was real. The music and graphics and gameplay were on another level. When the game was cranked loud in the arcade I went to it was unreal every time I walked in.
The way the backgrounds were done (the non polygon ones) is still kind of crazy, it's basically a movie that only plays when you move left and right
I remember printing 40+ pages of everyone's move list online at a public library.
I love Killer Instinct!
Middle School memories right here! I loved Cinder; he was my favorite. Childhood memories activate
I’m 37 now but I can still remember going in the arcade and thought Shao Kahn from MK2 at the best announcer voice, and he still does, but the volume and bass of this game really makes everything come together. I don’t know if you remember Yack Backs it was the toy that had a speaker on it would allow you to record like five or 10 seconds of some thing and then play it back are used to do that with the Shao Kahn MK two voice when I would go to the arcade because my Sega version didn’t have him speaking almost at all
Agreed, Shao Khans voice from MK2 was and still is the best. And I do remember yak baks my sister had one lol thanks for sharing your experience 👊🏼
I remember when this first came out in the arcades in the UK. Absolutely loved the combo system, the combo announcements and the music. Loved the the SNES version still got the black cartridge. Loved Killer Instinct 2 and gold on N64. Getting to play both Killer Instinct 1 and 2 again on Xbox brings back so many memories. Thank you 👊🏾
What’s not to love right? Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
love how you just film the screen and talk, so chill and old school. Classic youtube energy.
Thanks man. I’ll never have any fancy bells and whistles in my videos. Record, upload, done lol who’s got time to make edits and intros and such? Lol
the mid 90s was so amazing man i miss it.
I miss it too my friend..
Man. I got my hopes up when I saw the thumbnail. KI cabinets are hard to find. I had that short VHS for Donkey Kong Country that came with Nintendo Power back in the day that had the 5 second teaser for KI at the end. The hype was real back in the day.
Thanks for another awesome memory. I completely forgot how loud it was. I was amazing.
The memories. I played this to death on SNES. Best part for me was hearing: ULTRA ULTRA!! Got good with pretty much everyone. Jago, and Cinder seem to be my favorites. Trying to do Spinal, Saberwulf, Riptor and Glacius' Ultra combos were hard af! I think you could also play as Eyedol as well.
I remember I was upset when I heard “ULTRA ULTRA” instead of “ULTRA COMBOOOOOO” like in the arcade. Trust me I got over it quickly when I started playing the heck out of it on SNES. Good times 👊🏼
@BushyStallion Ahh, that's why I was like scratching my head when I played the arcade version again at home after sooo long.. I was like that sounded sweet, lol. I also loved C-C-C Combo Breaker! Man, I loved the SNES. I still play it through emulation. Mods add a whole new story, etc. Almost like DLC if they're done right. But yeah, the console versions because of limitations was kinda like listening to rap music uncensored and then hearing the edited version and you're like: "WTF is this sh!t" lol Only a handful of songs can pull it off, depending on the song. Nice job with Combo. Took me a little while to get good with him, but he became another fav 👊
@@oOBranxietyOo Th-Th-Th-THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENT! (KI announcer voice) lol the SNES version was awesome and I wonder if I could play it again like I did back in the day, wonder if my skills would hold up.
@BushyStallion After watching you for some time, annihilate MK 1-3 and play some KI. I'm sure you'd dominate in KI with a little bit of practice. I was really rusty and rough around the edges when I got the KI 1-2 arcade collection for my fat Xbox One in 2013. I always found Jago and Cinder the easiest to start with, but that's just me.
@@oOBranxietyOo there’s so many games I have to revisit now, I dunno how I’m gonna find the time lol
90s games and shows I believe helped me become a metal head. 👍
Thank you for such an enjoyable review. I ended up buying my first Xbox ever lol. I got the series x this past few days got it delivered today. I got KI it on sale right now. Oh man i remember being good back in day. Fast forward 30 years i still remember most of cinders combos. But it will take time. Thanks again. I subscribed to your channel. Love gaming in general.
Good memories! And good purchase you won’t regret it. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
I loved this game so much in elementary school that I brought the SNES cart with me to school just to look at and I got it confiscated and I was scared someone would steal it from the teacher so I stole it out of her desk drawer lmao.
😂😂 that’s awesome
@@BushyStallion Jago was always my favorite as a kid. Probably because he looked like some kind of army ninja thing with a sword, haha.
@@commondog3956 I loved Jago on SNES as well 👊🏼
I played the crap out of the SNES port back in the day. It was the only fighting game I was ever semi-competent at, I remember.
I too had the SNES version growing up and like yourself, I played it over and over again
One of the best💯✨
Since I started buying the arcade 1-up cabs I’ve really got into online play with KI .
Also starting to play MK 2/3 online . When I go into my home arcade I usually power up those 2 machines and try and catch some online play.
I like that you're also uploading other fighting games aside from MK, kinda gives variety and it's very fun I hope you can play other games too! Great videos
Thank you 🙏🏽
As I youngster I was transfixed by the visuals, music, and sound of Killer Instinct. The nostalgia is real. I work in games now so I really appreciate what they pulled off with the visuals, it still looks so good!
I was blown away as well I believe I was 16 when this one came out, and the scale of everything in this game was so surreal to me. Not gonna lie it did take my interest away from MK for a brief moment in time, but after I’d get my ass kicked on it I’d go back over to the left side of the arcade, head over to MK2, and return myself back into the zone. Thanks for the comment 🙏🏽 one more thing, is your name paying homage to Samus Aran?
@@BushyStallion She is my namesake yes! Metroid is my favorite game series!
@@clairearan505 excellent games! I loved the SNES one, as well as the versions for GBA. Thanks for the comments 🙏🏽
I never got to play KI growing up but this game looked way ahead of its time!
i was like 6-8 when i hella grinded this on the Snes, good times
Killer Instinct was well put together!!! Killer Cuts soundtrack on SNES was/is🔥🔥🔥
Favorite fighter is Spinal (KI version of Shang Tsung)
Oh yeah Spinal can change into other characters I forgot about that! I remember he would at the end of certain combos, that’s cool!
@@BushyStallionMy first console was that SNES that came with Killer Instinct!! My parents got it as a gift for having good grades🔥
Ill never forget that black cartridge out of all the snes grays and reds
Ken Lobb did game design and testing on this. The Klobb is a gun you can get in Goldeneye 007. Named after Ken Lobb.
Boy oh boy!!!your content iz getting better and better first the mk stuff and now killer instinct???!!!!greetings from austria again!!!!
Best fighting game of that time for me
Me and my roomie at the time used to rent this ALL the time on SNES. Eventually we just rented it, and never brought it back. The store called a million times. We never picked up :D
One day while fidgeting with the controls in the VS screen we figured out that you could do a half circle forward and high punch to double the gameplay speed, or half circle back to slow the game. Or something like that anyways. By the end we played SO MUCH, we played on high speed all the time and we were so good at blocking that most matches would end because the timer ran out haha.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Awesome story I loved the SNES version but never knew about those codes. I played the hell out of it however and have a lot of good memories with this game. Thanks for sharing 👊🏼
Great mechanics and a great soundtrack.
its the way you move....to the killer groove ❤❤
..that beat is Rare! 🎵🎵
SFII, MK, MKII, KI = ULTIMATE COMBO. Always be my favorite games.
I 100% agree. I'd add Virtua Fighter 2 and Tekken 2 as well for me, but I always end up going go back to the first 3 MK games.
@@oOBranxietyOo For sure, I'm a huge fan of Tekken 2/3 & the original VF, but I like VF2 aswell. Love SoulEdge, SoulCalibur, etc etc. The list is long for sure.
@GlaciusXL I almost forgot about SoulCalibur and Soul Edge. I also liked the Dead or Alive series. I've recently been getting into The King of Fighters series. There are so many classic games.
@@oOBranxietyOo Talking my language. Just subbed to you in case you start uploading. Been enjoying meeting fellow oldheads who grew up on these games.
@GlaciusXL Awesome! I subscribed to you as well. I don't really upload. Like you, I just enjoy meeting people who share my passion for retro gaming.
To be honest, I never played Killer Instinct back in my childhood, cause it was only on Super Nintendo, which I didn't own. Heck, I didn't even saw it on sale anywhere here in Ukraine back then. We saw a lots of NES and Sega Mega Drive 1 and 2, but not the Super Nintendo. And I never in my entire life saw or played real arcade cabinets. So, when I heard about this game that, like have cool combos and interesting characters with cool visuals, I started to think that, maybe I should try it some day. And so, when I finally started to dig in to the emulation, I downloaded the already made and ready to work, MAME emulator with Killer Instinct 1 and 2 back in like 2013 or so, and I decided to play it. And oh boy, I still can't wrap my head around, how to do combos in this game.
Like, I got used to Mortal Kombat and it's simple to do combos. But I suck at Street Fighter and other fighting games that requires you to not just press a buttons in order, but do it in right timing. I was trying so freaking hard on learning combos and I could not do it. Since then, I didn't played Killer Instinct until last year, when I tried again and it is still no go. And there is no neutral play in this game, which means that, if you get caught by AI in a combo, then you basically dead. Even Street Fighter has neutral play, where you don't need combos, but here, without combos it is dead end. Thus why, I like how Killer Instinct looks, how it sounds and stuff, but it's gameplay is not for me.
Fair enough, a lot of people avoided the game because of the combo system. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
Ohhhh I wish I was near my Xbox I’d love to play you online! This and KI2 were bangers
KI has an awesome sound track: Robin Beanland & Graeme Norgate - The Instinct (8th song on the Killer Cuts album from 1995)
WOW! Just wow!
I'm actually blown away.
I couldn't tell you how many hours I played Killer Instinct on my Super NES.
Even to this day I play it every now and then. I know this game so well...
But I have NEVER seen the Arcade version!
There are so many things different! Really enhances the whole experience. Wow!
Thank you for this video.
Never? You gotta get this version on your Xbox my friend, it’s a huge step up from the SNES version.
I love this game i have it on my snes and on the N64 (even though that copy is borrowed from a buddy of mine)the combos in this game are insane!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Do you mean KI Gold on the N64? I played the hell outta that one. 👊🏼
Yeahh that one!!!a buddy of mine lent me that i like it a lot,even though i haven't learnt the combos too well,so many cool looking characters i like sabrewulf fulgore and spinal a lot!!!
loving the content! very calming
More of these playthroughs Darryl. Big "Killer Instinct" fan. From the graphics, soundtrack, fatalities, and super sick ULTRAAAAA combos.
This man is playing Killer Instinct?! Are you TRYING to become the best channel ever?! Lol. Seriously thanks for posting. Not enough classic KI content out there. Loving this! A fantasy I've always had was a Mortal Kombat vs. Killer Instinct game!! Especially in the days of MK3. ☺. Thanks again.
I think back in the day we all dreamt of these epic fighting games crossing over with the others, knowing it probably wouldn’t work that well, example being Tekken X Street Fighter. It was good but flawed also.
I loved this game on SNES. I used Cinder and Orchid.
I was at the arcade (Timezone) when they first bought this in. I remember it looking ridiculous! Way better than sf and even mk. Was a good time to be at the arcades 👍
It looked incredible for sure 👊🏼
Hmmm...this game here...ok i never knew this game had an arcade version always thought it was jus a Snes thing hence jus like MK3 i never saw the cabinet for it LOL always thought KI2 was the only arcade version of the game...2nd...although I LOVE!!! this game i can't play it at all! I SUCK!!! at it LOL i mash buttons and hope for the best LMAO!!! but i still play it for the fun of it! Please brother if you can do Primal Rage playthrough sometime that would be AWWWWESOME!!!!...(P.S..i love the Miz) (^_-)/
Here in europe we had a big version of the arcade game like those double shooters with the plastic pistol’s!!!!!
Would love tutorial on some ultras and finishers if possible
Yes! This please
I made pretty extensive tutorials on each character. Darryl Tsung told me in a comment that he was going to be getting back into KI and was going to check them out.
Rare: "Dude, we should totally make Mortal Kombat."
I still have the SNES pack-in cd soundtrack-- the Humiliation secret track 30 was a nice a touch
Ah yes I remember that, every track in between was like 5 seconds or something like that I believe, good times!
I remember people using cinder and spinal. Spinal gave me nightmares as a kid lol
I use to spam cinder on my snes. Bro, your channel is so nostalgic, love it.
killer instinct & mortal kombat trilogy, i ❤ these fighting games, i was playing killer instinct arcade on my smartphone 😊 greetings, overthere from Mexico
This channel will grow bigç
ULTRA COMBO!! Announcer in this game goes so hard.
I love KI too, but I have more love for KI2, I had so many great fights against my old childhood friend too in KI2, I was Jago and he was Fulgore, all of our fights always went down to the wire in round 3.
Ah good times.
We played Killer Instinct 2 Gold on Nintendo 64.
Another great gameplay video
Rare always made great games. My favorite from them was Donkey Kong Country
DK Country was epic. Hard as hell but epic
Oh the hours of my friends and I lives of playing this on super Nintendo,good times
The music was super epic in this game, still have the soundtrack to this day and the thing I remember from being a kid, another couple playthroughs with some other characters would be sweet
Sure thing 👊🏼 thanks for watching
Good video 💯
I literally haven't played the SNES version since the 90's. It was awesome!
One of the best fighting games of all times. Thanks for the upload. I'm gonna go wreak havoc on my Xbox with Sabrewulf now lol.
😂😂😂😂 I remember the music blasting too
OMG!!! I’m buying the Xbox just for this I didn’t know they had it out. And yes I agree with you. We first played it on a local Peter piper pizza and man the arcade machine was loud and nothing like we had seen before
It’s pretty sweet KI and KI2 was included with the full version of the newer Killer Instinct.
@@BushyStallion A little late on this video, lol, but seeing as this was also my addiction as a kid i just had a couple of ideas for a video mate... i'm sure you remember how to do the trick where you fight your opponent on a floating platform up in the sky... also maybe show people how to play as Eyedol... and also how to do both Eyedol's and Cinder's 80 hit combo (the only 2 characters who can) 👍
This is great man, this was one of my favorite fighting games and I also rocked the soundtrack! Eyedol is a tough end boss.
Thanks dude 👊🏼
KI and Street Fighter were games I couldn't get good at. Still cool, though.
Need to see (and hear) Jago’s ultra combo!
Loved this game on the 64 and SNES growing up. Black Orchid was my main. Was so proud of myself when I mastered her Ultra combo. You should do KI Gold too if you can.
Killer instinct 🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️ classics did you ever play capcom vs snk back in the days? Capcom vs snk 2 ? That would be nice gameplay to watch if u did
I still have Capcom vs SNK 2 on my Sega Dreamcast 👊🏼
The best fighting game franchise ever!
This game had so much going for it. I don't understand why the devs decided to make the control inputs for the moves so awkward and overly complicated. Gameplay never "felt" good to me, the way of SF or MK or others.
really enjoyed this video as well as your MK arcade videos! When your videos blow up get a KI cabinet!!!
I actually ordered one a couple months ago but was told they wouldn’t deliver to me. Maybe around Christmas I’ll see if someone local will have one on sale or something and pick it up. I need this cab lol
WOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR WOOOOOOOOOOO
Awesome. KI for Xbox One or PC is my favorite fighting game. Play it sometime if you can.
BTW, some topics for MK2 videos:
1. They say playing from Player 2 controls has a much easier AI. Give it your thoughts...
2. Walking back glitch - Whenever the AI is walking backwards, walk towards them and they will stop attacking you. Could be useful to winning rounds without fighting by running down the clock (if you're ahead on life bar)
I’m familiar with this, I’ve even done the “walk back” glitch several times. I’d love to get the timing down a little better before posting a video on how to. Thanks for the suggestion 👊🏼
love your videos keep blowing up
I never played Killer instinct, I'm more of Mk fan. But this video is great 👍
This game had so much potential to be up there with mortal kombat if they did it right . I used to play with orchid and thunder . I used to run that shit but I need to buy an series X and download this and get back good at it
I think combo can do double roll combo
Good morning ☀️
I do Find the Death animation for Eyedoll much more Epic in the Snes version, his Screams when falling and
sinking in the lava and then the voice of the announcer at the end, is just so Good
There’s two ways Eyedol can lose that affect the ending, if he’s knocked into the lava, and if he’s just killed on the bridge. The animation is different for both.
@@BushyStallion in Arcade you mean? In the SNES is just 1,
Ultraaaaa ultraaaaa ultraaaaaaa😂😂😎 real oGz , you still got it 😂💪🏾 and facts orchid finisher on spinal 😂😂😂 and fulgore, Iykyk
This channel is a beast 🔥
I Love K.I. TJ Combo Is My Favorite Character
I love this game sooo much!! You should play 3rd strike!!
3rd Strike is awesome, but I can’t beat the end boss! Lol I can make it to him on one credit, but ALWAYS DIE ON HIM lol
Jago is my favorite character in the Killer Instinct Videos Games 🎮 🎮
Another banger ❤❤❤
One of the glitches was cinder jump kick. You could spam it over and over and juggle your opp in the air until their health was completely out.
yup haha!
Greatest fighting game theme song ever.
True 👊🏼
wish they'd release classic mks on xbox/ps4!
Killer Instinct Arcade 1-2 are on Xbox. I got mine when the Xbox One came out with a new KI game. Xbox used to have the MK: Kollection. But I have a Series X, and they keep removing games. That's also on the PS3 which should work for PS4, but I'm not sure. Also, any decent phone or low-end PC should be able to handle those games. There's lot of classics on Xbox and PS.
Classic!
Glacius was the unstoppable go to
I have a xbox series s. How do i play this game? I can't buy it at the store.
Keep doing the ultra combo with TJ for 100 hit combo
Used to love that ULTRA COMBO!!!!!!! Lol
Have you ever played Clayfighter by chance?
I have. I loved the commentator in the first one. The way he said “Ickybod Clay” will always be stored in my memory lol
@@BushyStallion can’t forget “little girly combo” lol
Afternoon
I love killer instinct!!!
I think it comes with it 1 and 2
How do you even get this version on Xbox? Its not sold separatly. Does it come with the phsyical definitive version?
I bought it WAY back when Xbox One Killer Instinct came out. It was an add on for 6 dollars. Not sure if you can still purchase it but I was hyped it was on there.
oh word killer instinct too? when is game night darryl
Game night is every night 👊🏼 but, BYOB cool?
Hey can u do the 80 hit xombo with orchid? U just hold back then forward kick then back toward quick punch repeat. She huts 40 time plus 40 w ultra is 80 plus hits
Pizza flavored combo
