Ken Lobb: Killer Instinct Has a Place on the XBLA

X360A writes: "When people mention classic games that they want brought on to the Xbox Live Arcade, Rare's classic, Killer Instinct, always seems to feature in some way or another.

Speaking with X360A at X10, Microsoft's General Manager for Live and Creative Director for Microsoft Game Studios, Ken Lobb, said he had fond memories of his brainchild and mentioned that they were constantly in discussions over the title."

i might buy an xbox360 for this one game, or a super nintendo, but there hard to find.

lord_of_balrogs5207d ago

It'd be great if they brought Conker's Bad Fur Day over as well the original in HD not the xbox remake.

i actually have the game but no snes, i have have a genesis and lots of games but no controller :O same goes with my dreamcast, nephews got a hold of them now they're gone

Syronicus5207d ago

So how many of you prefer plastic dolls to real woman?

NegativeCreepWA5207d ago

Most of them never had a real woman.

Saaking5207d ago

Too bad Rare can't seem to make any good games anymore. They're just porting over their amazing N64 games? Sad to see MS ruin yet another dev.

dabri55207d ago

Main Rare employees were leaving before Microsoft purchased Rare. Even if the company had stayed with Nintendo, it wouldn't of been the same company.

I really hope Perfect Dark sells well so that Rare decides to bring Killer Instinct to XBLA too.

MorganX5207d ago

I think it's more a matter of licensing rights than doubts about its success.

Rare is the developer, but I believe Nintendo has publishing rights. I think the talks they refer to are not talks with Rare but maybe with Nintendo?

xbox360achievements5206d ago

Actually no, the Killer Instinct IP is a Rare IP as far as I know... like Banjo, etc.

Hell I would settle for a reworded HD version of old KI games if they don't bring a next gen KI title to the 360.

baraka0075207d ago

Yes please come out with an updated arcade version not the SNES one. This is one of the first games I really got into as a child and would love to be able to play it again.

Congrats goes to Matt, Mick, Adam and everyone at Iron Galaxy!

Tomorrow we fight together! I can´t wait!

Barlos184d ago

I'll have to get this! Been a big fan of KI since the very first one.

Petebloodyonion183d ago (Edited 183d ago )

I love KI (still play the old arcade version) but feel like the Xbox version is like a big intimidating chessboard with no easy way to instruct you to play chess.
The game is so deep in terms of little things to do that it makes Smash Bros melee look like a casual experience.
Honestly, doing a combo Breaker is punish/reward by itself but hey you can add a counterbreaker.
Here's what you also need to know

There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH187d ago

SF5 didn’t appear on all consoles and was still played at Tournaments. I’ve seen KI tournaments recently so I don’t think your opinion is accurate.

A free-to-play fighting game? This was unheard of at the time, but Killer Instinct has proven it's not only doable, but enjoyable!
