Remake This!-Killer Instinct

Remake This!-Killer Instinct

Dec 18, 2010

I went into an arcade down in Orlando back in December 1994 on Christmas vacation with my family. I walked away from my family, like any child does, and walked up to a row of arcade machines…all the same and fully packed except one machine. It was on freeplay and I did not give it up for 45 mins. I remember because my parents had to buy me an armband for time usage. The arcade game was Killer Instinct, and I was Spinal.

This beauty was Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter having a crack addicted baby. It was fast, brutal and full of “c-c-c-combos”! It was usually one sided, but fun as shit to play. Even today, if you brought this baby anywhere on SNES or N64, you would have someone who is down to play and tell you about the good old days when they played it as a kid.

Now here is the trick. To fit with todays standard in fighting games, it needs some technical modifications. It is also ugly…very fugly. Microsoft is the only one who has the rights to the game (cause they own Rare), and it had been hinted at that they are working on releasing an HD version for XBLA.

The creator Kenn Lobb said this on July 25th 2010 with comparatives to Street Fighters comeback…
“Street Fighter is a great example of that, right?” he continued, “They obviously did Street Fighter 4 last year very successfully, but right before it, Street Fighter HD. It sold very well. I’ve always been a huge fighting game fan so I never really “got out” of Street Fighter, but when Street Fighter HD came out, I played the crap out of it. I was excited to get Street Fighter 4. I think the same thing could work.”

So please Kenn, stop making Perfect Dark and Banjo crap and remake this obvious contender to the genre, however, make it tournament friendly… and for Dan…with a fightstick.
