Despite sheet music and Viva Pinata cards, Rare has remained fairly tight-lipped about the possibility of a Killer Instinct sequel. That is, until now. Today, we've spotted yet another piece to add to the KI mystery in the Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts demo that went live today on Xbox Live Marketplace.
The message is framed in a whimsical way and could just be a joke for people like me who will welcome a return of KI in this current generation. In the Useless Rubbish section of the menus the following question and answer are given:
“What do you know about KI3?”
“I’ve heard its going to star Mighty Bottles. I’m knitting myself a bandana just in case that turns out to be true!”
I haven’t the slightest idea what the hell the answer is all about, but I do know that Killer Instinct 3 needs to happen. Signs of KI 3 are beginning to point to “yes,” so I’ll keep praying at my Cinder altar in hourly intervals since it seems to be working much better than the ritualistic gerbil sacrifices.

Still better than random Conker symbols scattered throughout the demo.
Obviously you've never heard of Google. Check it out sometime on the intarwebs.
I wouldn't mind, but I was never into the whole KI3 thing unless I was in the arcade. I didn't play it all that much at home.
Seriously just announce the damn game and cement the rise of fighting games already!
I would love KI3 to happen but I would hate it if it ended up being like KI Gold.
Stick to the original plan and make it like Killer Instinct 1
I make a half-a$$ attempt at a C-Blog before going to work, and this is what I get.
I mean, why would they keep bringing it up if they weren't planning on updating the series? Just to mess with people? To rile up the fans and cause resentment in potential customers? That makes a whole lot of business sense.
KI Gold sucked. As much as I wanted to like it, the polygon backgrounds just looked like crap compared to KI2's.
The only "game" I ever play on my crap-top is the u64 KI emulator. It runs great on a 900MHz Duron. =D
One of the several lines he says goes something like this: "They're all in the pipeline, you know. New Battletoatds, Killer Instinct, Jet Force Gemini games. Even Ghoulies 2!"
My guess is that they will eventually make another Killer Instinct. But a) it'll gonna take AGES to be announced; and b) they do this kind of stuff just to mess with our heads, because they LOVE IT.
They're sadistic people. They made Conker's Bad Fur Day.
In case you don't know, LOG stands for Lord Of Games. He's a character that's supposed to be the creator of all videogames and stuff. He has a TV displaying Pong for a head.
