New Killer Instinct, Battletoads, Jet Force Gemini and Ghoulies coming to 360?

November 16, 2008 in Rumor comments 12

Cranky Gamers UK has uncovered a juicy little nugget in the new Banjo Kazooie game, which apparenrtly reveals new takes on Killer Instinct, Battletoads, Jet Force Gemini and Ghoulies are coming to the 360 at some point. I'd definitely be down for some new KI, and Jet Force Gemini could be great too. Ghoulies I'm not familiar with, and I'm not sure how well Battletoads would translate these days, unless it was released like Mega Man 9 was..

In a sense it'd be great to see Rare get back to the great quality stuff, but I'd kind of hoped it would be with new material...

Been playing through Banjo Kazooie on 360 and have found a nice secret that im sure lots of you are going to go crazy for!

2009 just got a whole lot sweeter!

    If they make a new KI, I will without a doubt become a proud 360 owner.

      How old are you 10? lol I'm completely shocked you have never heard of ANY of them before.

      JFG I believe was on Gamecube.Battletoads was on NES and SNES.Battletoads on SNES is considered to be one of the hardest games ever made.Killer Instinct was a fighting game like Mortal Kombat on the "fatalities" (called danger moves in KI) were quite tame compared to MK.KI and KI Gold were on SNES and N64.KI along with Tekken are my favourite fighting games of all time.I think Ghoulies was on the 1st XBOX.

        My gaming history started with the original Playstation One, so I never had any experiences with the SNES. I never owned an Xbox either, though KI does ring a bell.

        So cut me some slack, will ya?

          Jet Force Gemini - N64 3rd person shooter, kinda ahead of its time, really good game

    In Europe:

    Battletoads - NES, SNES, Mega-Drive, Game Boy.
    Battletoads Vs. Double Dragon - NES, Master System, SNES, Mega-Drive.
    Killer Instinct - Arcade, SNES.
    Killer Instinct 2 - Arcade.
    Killer Instinct Gold - Nintendo64.
    Jet Force Gemini - Nintendo64.
    Grabbed by the Ghoulies - Xbox.

    And now I've realised I have all those games, excpet for the Arcade cabinets!

    Oh, and by the way, in-case anybody hasn't noticed, this screenshot is simply another in-joke by RARE, and isn't confirming anything...

    Yeah, it sounds like another Rare Joke. Sounds like something they'd do. Especially in a BK game.

    Oh, and if they make a new Battletoads, I'm so pre-ordering that.
