Hey KI Community!
It’s been a while since I’ve made a new topic here, but I saw the following Code Mystics interview from Killer Instinct Central (check out the full thing here), and something really caught my interest:
“KIC: Did you all ever consider doing full HD remakes of the games? Or were they always meant to be ports to capture their original incarnations?
Jeff (Code Mystics): We’ve toyed with the idea of doing something more modern, but we kept going back to the same thought: the full HD remake was Double Helix/Iron Galaxy’s territory. The point of KI Classic was to celebrate the classics. We’d pitched a few ideas for Season 3 bonus content, though, but it was more along the lines of newer characters (like putting Battletoads in the classic 2D engine), tournament play, and/or crossing over the KI1 and KI2 roster in an enhanced version of KI Gold. Fortunately we were able to bring KI Gold to Xbox One via Rare Replay.”
How cool would’ve it been to see Rash, Sadira, Riptor, Cinder, Thunder, Aganos, Kan-Ran, ARIA and Hisako playable in KI2? (Very cool!) I can only assume that the KI Team has something special in mind for Season 3’s bonus content, but until we hear about it, why not speculate about how cool it would be to take down Gargos as Riptor, or smack down Tusk as Rash?
I wonder why this isn’t going to happen… Either way, it’s a fun thing to think about! Happy weekend everyone!
