The sound effects, the visual effects and the combos are plain stunning. Those brits really made a huge videogame able to compete toe to toe with the giants of the japanese industry. Just impressive.
Rare always excelled in those years. One thing I always loved about their games was how they were designed relying on their soundtrack (and sound effects). This game has a perfect soundtrack from start to finish. For instance, there's a flawless epic transition between the intro, the character selection screen and the "pre-combat" screen. The rest of the game is perfect too. Amazing graphics that, though outdated for nowadays standards, still perfectly hold up because of how well they were designed. Same with their characters, where there's not a single boring or lame character design (actually, most of them where super cool when it first came out). This game not only rivalled Mortal Kombat II, it was arguably better in so many things. It's crazy that it never had a proper continuity as a series, having to wait almost 20 years for a reboot (that doesn't keep the magic of the original at all, in my opinion). There're should've been, at the very least, some "Ultimate" KI game that had all the characters from both first two games and the best aspects of both instalments.
Best fighting game ever made. i was 14 years old and couldn't believe my eyes when i saw this at the arcades. from the graphics,music,voices, even today's killer instinct cannot match this perfection of a game. just listen to the voices, nothing comes even close to this game today.
i've experienced this feeling too, with the sonic series. i remember that being my first experience of art. from that moment on, i became one step closer to understanding my true self. so happy that you shared in that beauty with me
To surpass the impact and impressiveness would be very hard despite better hardware, programming knowledge and reaching larger audiences through the internet (compared to guys gathered around a arcade cabinet). The art motif here was just amazing.
Yes remember seeing it on bad influence and gamesmaster. Got to play it in the arcades back in 1995 there was one when we went to burnham on sea. Spent hours in there and couldn’t wait for the ultra then n64 to come out.
Apples & Oranges. Mortal Kombat was completely 2D though, which will make it seem more aesthetic, but dated. They didn’t go 3D for a few year after this came out. Killer Instinct however mixed 2D & 3D which was gave it a unique look, which I will agree with sum dood, still looks good today.
The new Killer instinct has the best intro now. Check it out if you haven't heard it, Mick Gordon is the composer. Google him and killer instinct and you will find all the themes.
This game still looks perfectly fine and ahead of It's time , no other fighter had this polish in 94. Way better gameplay , soundtrack and design than the new one as well.
It's a great game but "ahead of it's time" in what way exactly? Combos were already a thing in fighting games. You can kill your opponents here or embarrass them which was something that Mortal Kombat created with Fatalities and Friendships before KI. Fighting monsters? Also done in Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter (Blanka). Stage fatalities? Also Mortal Kombat. Blood? Mortal Kombat ,again. First 3D fighter? Nope. Virtua Fighter 1 was released 1 year before KI and Tekken 1 was released the month before KI. There was nothing about KI that was ahead of it's time. It's a product of it's time. It fits perfectly to what was happening with fighting games in 1994 and you can clearly see the influence of the era in KI due to the fighting games that came before it, namely Mortal Kombat.
That’s entirely not true. I love Killer Instinct and it still looks and plays great, but it aged just as well as Street Fighter 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Big difference is people still play Street Fight 2 and UMK3, no one plays classic Killer Instinct anymore. Hell the new Killer instinct barely anyone plays. Microsoft desperately needs to release another KI or I have a feeling the game is going to die in obscurity.
never had access to arcade, paid over 80 bucks to get the SNES version (1995? 1996?) Worth every penny, amazed with the graphics, soundtrack, and attitude. PLAY IT LOUD!
Because killer instinct was the first arcade game of its type at the time to run on a hard disk drive so it could store massive amounts of data..super Nintendo wasn't as good because cartridges cant hold that much memory and as a result the characters were downgraded and the 3d panning camera was reduced to 2 dimensional side scrolling
Only late 80's babys and 90' babys know this fighting game is the best Ever this is more than a game even when we used to sleep we imagine combos in our mind from this game the music the gameplay the combos the ultras the stages the history the cover the era this was more than a game
becuase it's the feeling of weight and impact. the new KI feels weightless, wheras hearing every impact and hit vocally and the noises of the hits are very satisfying,
This game has so much nostalgia. Good memories. I first played this on Gameboy. It didn't have Cinder and Riptor in the character selection. But it was damn fun. I had learnt all the ultra combos, fatalities and humiliation key combinations. It also had a bug, where the opponents could not block Glacius' punches. I initially thought it was his strength. Later understood it as a bug. The response to the keys was incredible, graphics were believable for that small screen. Music was Epic!
Man how the hell did I forget about this game?? It’s been literally 20 years since I’ve heard about this game up until tonight. My mind is so blown, I can’t wrap my head around it.
Great footage man👍🏻 You know, hearing the announcer call out the combos can get old after awhile but when you play with style and skill it can really shine. You succeeded in this.
@このバカ probably because some people have been around the time this arcade game was out and they played the hell out of KI1. I do have to agree that KI1 is better than KI3. Yes there’s more characters in KI3 (who most of them are dlc) although, I’ve always preferred KI1 and KI2 over KI3.
This game still holds as the best fighting game for me today. Everything works in such fluid fashion while remaining reasonably in terms of arts, that i still lack to see something unthrone it. The sheer joy of making custom combo's due to the games open approach has yet to be copied proper.
I dunno about that. Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy came out around the same time. Too close to call since these are a few of the best fighters of all time. Don't forget Street Fighter 3rd strike too.
RichterBelmontITA Are you sure? If it were a release title, the N64 proliferation may not have been high enough. The game would have sold systems and sold well, but not as many as SNES.
HOLY KRAP this looks awesome! I can understand why KI fans liked the arcade versions more than consoles. Now I wanna play this too! Looks great for the 90s. :)
My local amusement park got this game at the same time as Primal Rage. I was blown away by both games, as they were leagues ahead of what was possible on home consoles at the time. But this game impressed me more, as it used CGI - and with all the CGI effects in movies like Jurassic Park that's what the public really wanted. This game is an obvious tech demo for the 3D graphics capable on the N64, the ad makes that obvious. What makes this game so special for me is that it's a transitionary step from the 2D sprites to fully rendered 3D polygons. It's amazing how much this game looks like it's fully rendered but only the roof stages have 3D polygon backgrounds. The rest of the game uses prerendered 2D sprites, and I love how the rest of the backgrounds are a prerendered FMV that moves only when the players are moving. It is a clever use of old and new tricks to hide the limitations of the hardware. We've gotten plenty of retro revival games with traditional 2D graphics, but I can't think of any that capture this important transitional step from 2D to 3D.
Forget Mortal Kombat, Tekken and Street Fighter.. The day I discovered Killer Instinct was it for me. I'd spend hours at the Arcades playing this game back in the 90s.. so many memories.. everything was so much easier then.
I just feel like they brought the new generation of graphics and detail which is spectacular and all but I feel as if they took a step backwards with the game mechanics. . It's just not a good fit
+damiano de titta Pretty sure you never played this one or the SNES variation. The gameplay itself is superior, I bought the new KI on Xb1 only because this one comes bundled with it. Tried to play the new one, its too slow & overall inferior to this one.
+hitek9wittafulclip I can guarantee you've never played the old KI games because you didn't bring up any gameplay points comparing the two and supporting your claim that the new is better. You went on listing sports games and applying the same claim to them but once while providing no support. While I clearly stated I have played the new one and it feels too generic, when you're engaging in a combo it's possible to break it obviously with a combo breaker but guess what?! YOU can counter the combo breaker and keep going, that's a step backward. In the old KI to not get your combo broken you were forced to keep the combos short. In the new one you can do a long ass combo not worrying about a combo breaker because you can just counter it. So if you have no claims to backup your statement then shut your mouth.
My friend was obsessed with this game at the arcade. I was a casual player, but more of a SF fan. He thought he'd kick my ass on it. I chose Jago and kicked his ass. He said it wasn't fair as I'd just chosen the Ken/Ryu character. I still savour this victory over him. Hahaha.
I got the snes port with the killer cuts cd soundtrack and while it was a great home port for the snes, the arcade original looks and sounds sooo amazing.
Okay, it use to be my best baddest games ever. I enjoy it. In 1994, it was Super Ninendo. The original one. My cousin and I play together. It was fun. This Killer Instict is a HD version. New quality of the original version in Super Nintendo. However, it's still convenient to watch and play. Back in 1994 and 1995, everything was a beginning. They try to make it automatic and fastinating same as the original series from the 1990s. The make the graphics to be 2D or 3D for individuals to enjoy the difference that's way. Cool . Interesting. Especially gamers, viewers, and audiences. To me, it a remix version of it . I'll give it 100% ten stars. 🖒⭐
the developers said, that they aare going to listen to every feedback we are giving them, and that they want to make the ultimate killer instinct based on our feedback, so it becomes this awesome game we get to enjoy for years to come. and who never know, maybe the next Killerinstinct will be beast!
difícil la verdad. Nintendo tenia las exclusividades de Rareware hasta 2001 cuando los vendieron. un juego así con suerte andaría bien en una ps3. ni en una ps2. mucha carga poligonal para 1994 y era el real potencial de la n64 o mejor de sus kits de desarrollo, la n64 final fue tristemente recortada al precio final de 200 dolares pero su potencial gráfico en la Ultra64 era 4 veces mayor a lo que ofrecía con expansion pak el n64 final. le recortaron las ram de los coprocesadores.
If you want the game check this video on youtube "Killer Instinct Arcade Version DOWNLOAD" there are download links to the emulator and game in the description of that video.
with my 35 years old, imagine this, all you teenage playing sf2, and one this shit was in the arcades.....was like....mom, find another son, yours is kidnapped. Old School Rules.

One of the best games back in the day loved it...
BEST FIGHT GAME EVER. I WISH I COULD PLAY IT AGAIN.
Remember anything is possible
It's on xbox one store this version and KI 2
This classic KI was the best graphic ,KI on xbox1 looks like street fighter 4 with KI characters , I missed good old times
That intro music is so hard 🤘🏽
I spent years in arcades playing this game. Jago was my go to.
was it so hard to make the Xbox One game feel like this? instead of those High School Musical Ultras.
Lmaoo high school musical
+JosephACN I have no idea why they added that shit, I was thinking the same way. K1 3 is decent though.
Gee with all that technology all we got was Super Street Killer 4.
Becuase the musical ultras look and sound fucking awesome. Sinc when HSM had fucking metal on it?
Epic-Fran! It feels slow.
Okay since no one has said, I will...C-C-C-C-C Combo breakerrr
I got the snes port with the killer cuts cd soundtrack and while it was a great home port for the snes, the arcade original looks and sounds sooo amazing.
Jago's uppercut is still the coolest one I've ever seen in a fighting game.
Okay, it use to be my best baddest games ever. I enjoy it. In 1994, it was Super Ninendo. The original one. My cousin and I play together. It was fun. This Killer Instict is a HD version. New quality of the original version in Super Nintendo. However, it's still convenient to watch and play. Back in 1994 and 1995, everything was a beginning. They try to make it automatic and fastinating same as the original series from the 1990s. The make the graphics to be 2D or 3D for individuals to enjoy the difference that's way. Cool . Interesting. Especially gamers, viewers, and audiences. To me, it a remix version of it . I'll give it 100% ten stars. 🖒⭐
Killer Instinct 1 > Killer Instinct 2 > Killer Instinct 3.
Things only got worse after the first one.
Leon Parker nope KI1>>>KI3>KI2
No way, 2 is way better than 3.
Leon Parker 3 is the best

Sounds like the argument of someone that hasn't played KI3.
I forgot how EPIC the intro to this game was!!!!
the developers said, that they aare going to listen to every feedback we are giving them, and that they want to make the ultimate killer instinct based on our feedback, so it becomes this awesome game we get to enjoy for years to come. and who never know, maybe the next Killerinstinct will be beast!
am i the only one who sees jago's body is mostly neck...just sayin'...neck for days tho...
true, it is mostly neck, lol.
marcus wright lmfao
As a kid thought it was just his blonde long hair. My whole life has been a lie... lol
Neck needs to be big and strong due to the g-force generated from that long ass flying kick
He was the REAL Charles Dion McDowell
Un videojuego muy adelantado a su época, lástima que no sacaran la versión arcade para ps1.
difícil la verdad. Nintendo tenia las exclusividades de Rareware hasta 2001 cuando los vendieron. un juego así con suerte andaría bien en una ps3. ni en una ps2. mucha carga poligonal para 1994 y era el real potencial de la n64 o mejor de sus kits de desarrollo, la n64 final fue tristemente recortada al precio final de 200 dolares pero su potencial gráfico en la Ultra64 era 4 veces mayor a lo que ofrecía con expansion pak el n64 final. le recortaron las ram de los coprocesadores.
If you want the game check this video on youtube "Killer Instinct Arcade Version DOWNLOAD" there are download links to the emulator and game in the description of that video.
I love this arcade!! I wanna be back in the 90's again!!!
with my 35 years old, imagine this, all you teenage playing sf2, and one this shit was in the arcades.....was like....mom, find another son, yours is kidnapped. Old School Rules.

Robin Beanland's and Graeme Norgates's Music for the best Game Soundtrack ever known!!!!!!
Loud with the Organ works in Säberwulf's Castle. Riffs and Strangs in Cinder's fortress. Cold bone drums at the rooftop of Spinal's Castle.
Laser microwaves Electro Music in T.D.J. STAMPER Industries at Hightech Complex, raw massacre creepy compositions at Eyedol's Fight Hall.
Techno and Alternus over the rooftop of Orchid's Department, RareWare Music in the Arctic with GLACIUS Icelight Beats.
Riptor's precambic Guitar alone in the prehostoric Museum. Traditional harps in Jago's Tiger Hall.
That is a whole Game Soundtrack Project thanks to the Midway's Master minds which obviously envolved also in MK III.

I dig the Pic in a Pic on Orchid's stage
For that time and era that is pretty awesome
