For the third time and the first time since November of 1996, an installment of Killer Instinct will be released. This game is an exclusive title for the Xbox One, also a first as the series first two installments were released for Nintendo console. The series has missed two generation of games, and many are wondering why the game took so long or if the game will be significant to today's audience after a 17 year absence? Many especially Microsoft feel that the game will be relevant (Microsoft bought Killer Instinct's developer Rare, thus acquiring the series), as this game will be at launch. One of my own concern is the limited number of characters, as there are only 8 playable characters at launch and other characters and content will be added later on, for a fee of course. Personally I am not too sure of the success of this game, I feel that if you were looking for a great fighting game I would suggest Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Street Fighter, or many others before suggesting such an unknown and could be costly game with limited capabilities, but who knows, we might end up being pleasantly surprised.
