Killer Instinct

[Mip]

Is it possible that we can see KI in VC? Or does it again have some problems with rare? I'm dying to know..
..cos its pure awesomeness.

Or else I "have" to just play SM64, , SFII: turbo and .

[Spore]

It makes me when stupid people use to say words. It is a possibility that we may see these games in the far future. Expect it on Xbox Live Arcade first.

Some rules for Spore.

First. It's all clear what Mip's emoticons mean.
Second. I whack you if this disturbs you.
Third. You use them in the same way too, so have a whack.
Fourth. You don't know what you're talking about, so have another whack.
Fifth. Killer Instinct will never be released in it's original form on Xbox360.
Sixth. Killer Instinct will be released in it's original form on Wii VC.
Seventh. Do you live in the far future or how can you know?
Eight. You're saying "Stupid people". Stupid people are those who are upset because of irrelevant things.

Wasn't its original form an arcade machine?

Doesn't matter. It's a copyright question, and originally Nintendo has All rights reserved to the whole Killer Instinct franchise.
That includes
Killer Instinct (Arcade),
Killer Instinct (SNES),
Killer Instinct (Super Game Boy),
Killer Instinct 2 (Arcade)
and Killer Instinct Gold (N64).

Let me get this straight with the whole rare thing. I was under the impression that Microsoft, at the time they bought Rare, also bought the rights to all of Rare's franchises (except for Donkey Kong), and possibly the rights to the games themselves. Doesn't this prevent any Rare game that isn't Donkey Kong from appearing on VC, or am I wrong?

Talk about rude, no need to call him stupid.

6.Slang. excellent; terrific.

Since when was it in the dictionary that stupid was slang for excellent or terrific? And I'm sorry if you guys get so fed up by words on the internet yeesh.

But even considering that, isn't it still likely that if we do see a KI release on the VC it won't be its "original form" but rather the SNES port? Or possibly the N64 version of KI Gold? Thus far all VC releases have been emulated console games; there's no precedent for arcade emulation on the VC.

...will release the "true" arcade original...
if Nintendo chooses to emulate its arcade machines to Wii of course.

I'm afraid, at this point it's more likely to see the SNES and N64 version of KI appear on VC.


For Xbox users that want KI:
Rare/M$ has to make a Killer Instinct remake or Killer Instinct 3. You won't see the Nintendo products on Xbox Live. The program data and everything is Nintendo's and believe me, they wouldn't share a bit of it with M$. The characters belong to Rare, so it's their decision what to do with the franchise.
