Killer Instinct/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Creator Backlash: Chris Seavor, one of the original designers of the previous games, isn't fond of the Killer Instinct game for the Xbox One.
  • Killer App: The SNES port of the original Killer Instinct helped push a lot of units thanks to the success the game found in the arcades. The Xbox One reboot also counts, being a very popular, exclusive launch title for that system.
  • Pre-Order Bonus: Shadow Jago was initially available for those who bought an Xbox Live subscription upon the Xbox One's launch.
  • Sequel Gap: The last Killer Instinct game to be released before the 2013 installment was in 1996, a seventeen-year gap between the two games.
  • Talking to Himself: Any Cinder vs. Arbiter, Kan-Ra vs. Gargos, or Riptor/Aganos/Eyedol match in Killer Instinct 2013. Bonus points for any time the new announcer commentates over Jago or Shadow Jago.
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: Quite a few over the years. A popular one claimed that there was a mirror in T.J. Combo's stage that would let the player see Orchid's breasts if she performed her Flasher finishing move in front of it. Of course, no such mirror exists.
