Nintendo has added a new game to the Nintendo Switch Online retro games library, as the classic fighting title Killer Instinct Gold arrives today. One of the few console releases of a Killer Instinct title at the time, KIG became a mainstay for fighting game players on the N64. It had a real arcade feeling going for it, without crazy load times that some would experience on other titles, and a stacked roster fo almost every single character in the franchise at that point. Enjoy the trailer here as you can dive back into the game nearly 30 years after its release.
Killer Instinct Gold
Hone your skills to achieve supreme victory! The Killer Instinct tournament is back in this classic 1996 fighting title originally released for the Nintendo 64 system. Pick from a roster of 10 killer fighters, and test your instincts across multiple explosive game modes. Battle other fighters in classic Arcade mode, pit your favorite characters against a friend's in Team mode, or face off in the round-robin-style Tournament mode with up to eight players! There's even a Training mode where you can sharpen your techniques, and with hundreds of thousands of moves and killer Combos at your fingertips, a little training goes a long way. You'll need all the practice you can get to have a chance at landing a 70-hit Ultra Combo—and that's if you're not interrupted by a C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
