Unleash your killer instinct.
With a new update available for the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online application, with the release of version 3.1.0, comes the addition of KILLER INSTINCT GOLD. For a quick reminder as to what the game entails, here is the official NSO description:
KILLER INSTINCT GOLD (Xbox Game Studios)
Released in: 1996
Number of Players: 1 – 2
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!
Will you be diving into KILLER INSTINCT GOLD this weekend? Let us know!
