    We can all probably agree that RARE has gone downhill since the days of the N64...but will we ever see another Killer Instinct game? They still own the IP, right?

    Why aren't we talking about a new Killer Instinct in the same manner as new Mortal Kombats, Street Fighters, Soul Caliburs, etc.?

    i'd think Microsoft owns the License, since they bought rare, and microsoft doesn't have a unique fighter (i think), so i hope they do.

    All I can think of is Dead or Alive which had a few exclusives only on Xbox/Xbox 360.

    Rare can't possibly be Rare anymore. Their games have gone so far downhill and they shouldn't have =/
