Game Guys:
"With Electronic Arts' Medal of Honor receiving a franchise reboot in 2010, Syndicate being rebooted earlier this year, and Maxis' SimCity getting the same treatment in 2013, the Game Guys have wondered what other game franchises could use some attention from the video game reboot gods. For this, we look back to the 1990's and have come up with a list of nine games that stand out amongst the rest."
Killer Instinct is like the forgotten cousin at the fighting game family reunion.
yeah they were such good and fun games but they never really reached the mainstream audience. Killer Instinct was widely known and respected.
Killer instinct is great, especially on snes but it’s not the most underrated fighter.. for me it’s Power Stone. So much potential in this series
Bloody Roar was a game that had a sick concept but wasn’t made the best. I’d say Killer Instinct was the opposite of that, it was well made but the roster of characters were so similar to every other fighting game in that era that it ended up feeling like more of the same. I could be wrong that’s just how I remember it at the time and I played a ton of KI on SNES because it was one of the first games I owned.
I loved this game in the arcade, my main was Jago, Ultra Combo!!! https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I remember trying my hardest to learn that "Ultra... Ultra.... Ultra...." finish. Such a great fighting game.
I can tell you definitely got some SNES time in. The slight differences in the ports due to hardware constraints were interesting. For example, the arcade version was Ultraaaa Coooommboooooooo! versus Ultra….Ultra….Ultra on the SNES.
Though SNES overachieved as a port for as demanding as a game KI was.The arcade version was one of the first cabinets with a dedicated hard drive and the SNES version was 32 megabyte cartridge which was huge for that system at the time.
Yeah, for sure. My local childhood arcade was always packed and it was hard to get a game in but once the SNES version came out, I was hooked. I can still feel the click of the power button.
New job listings have popped up on Sega's Japanese site, hiring to develop a "large-scale, open-world, mass multiplayer game."
Amidst the thrilling TGA 2023, Sega landed with a bang, bringing not one, not two, but five classics, including Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.
Sega rocks and I'm excited that these classics are getting attention. Bring it on! Sega!
I’m just happy that some suits at Sega have finally woken up to realize they have literal gold in their library well worth bringing back to a modern audience.
I’m hoping they can also bring back Virtua Tennis (doesn’t need licenses), Sega Rally, etc.
I'm right there with you. Now I just need more time to play all that I want to play. My backlog is killing me.
I loved Crazy Taxi!
I would love a new Earthbound, Streets of Rage, Vectorman, Panzer Dragoon, Breath of Fire, Grandia, and SuikOgden. Im also excited for Zelda, Metroid and Fire Emblem in HD on WiiU.
jet moto
medievil
chrono cross
castlevania symphony of the night
legend of legia
Moonstone, Cannon Fodder, Chaos Engine...
An HD Killer Instinct and Bushido Blade would be awesome.
