[Rumor] Rare Bringing Back Killer Instinct?

[Gorvi]

Make it 2D and put it on XBLA.

How are you beating my argument that I don't trust them to breathe new life into an ancient franchise by citing a new IP?

At this point I think they'd put the original(s) up on XBLA if they could, but they may run into the same legal hurdles that Goldeneye did.

Hmm. That's probably a good point. I know I'd buy it in a heartbeat, though. Goldeneye did have the double whammy of not only having the issue of it originally being on the N64, but the movie license as well. But, with BK coming to XBLA soon, that can be overcome.

I think it's pretty much about who owns the IP, not what systems it was on. I'd say Conker, Banjo, KI and Perfect Dark are probably all possible, and I don't expect to see anything of Goldeneye or any games with a Nintendo character in them.

edit: I don't think it was the movie license, Gorvi - I'm pretty certain the problem is that another game company holds the rights to release Bond games.

Ahh, that's a good point about the Bond license, I hadn't thought of that. But Rare must own the KI license, they've used the characters in marketing material and no in VP2. There must be some issue, though, I really think it would have come out by now if there weren't.

Seems odd - if anything, KI was made when Rare was LESS of a partner to Nintendo than BK.

A fairly reasonable explanation would be that they are making a new KI, and saving the original for an XBLA release near the release date of that game.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was referring to their creativity, in reference to your original post on the matter. I'll also state that (so far) Banjo looks to be very creative.

Bah, humbug. They're messing up my Banjo games! You kids don't know what's good for you, in my day we blah blah blee bloo blah blee bloo....

The problem with Goldeneye is Nintendo still has say in the release (non-original IP makes the 'game' Nintendo's property?). We know it's done for XBLA, but Ninty won't let it see the light of day.

I would love to see KI Gold released on XBLA. But, a whole new game would be better. We don't get many fighters, and the ones we do are always the same, (DOA, Tekken, MK, SF, SNK) which I have no problem with.

I really doubt that it's Nintendo holding up Goldeneye's rerelease. More likely it's Activision or Sony, the holders of the James Bond license.

You're absolutely right, but what the world does need is another Bloody Roar game. Although unlike the one on GC this one should actually have blood and not just sparks.

i wants GOLDEYE just release it on PS3 360 and Wii

[CES]

Rare have been teasing KI3 for just about a decade now (or thereabouts) It's just one of those things they like to hint at to annoy the fans, like button codes or Stop N Swap. Bastards.


Also, no re-release of Goldeneye please. While I consider it one of my favourite games ever made, it really hasnt aged well.

I'd really rather have a second Kameo... but I know that'll never happen.

Aren't they doing something new with Nuts and Bolts? You can argue whether or not Rare is making additions that will successfully revive the Banjo-Kazooie franchise, but it just seems cheap (and false) to argue that they are doing nothing new.

[Schnoogs]

I'd love to play the original...an arcade perfect port...unlike like that SNES abomination

[rvieira]

Was KI a big hit in the USA?
Around here was so difficult to find it on the arcades that I don't think many people actually played this game. I only played a few times at arcades and I didn't find too much fun, at the same time, around 1994 I think, I spend a lot of coins on “X-Men:Children of the Atom”.

But they do something new with Banjo Kazooie and...it's a bad thing?

The definition of 'hard to please' right here.
