Nintendo announced Rare-developed classic Nintendo 64 fighting game Killer Instinct Gold will be available on May 16 for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers. Killer Instinct Gold is playable within the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online app on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Here’s an overview of the game, courtesy of Nintendo:
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!
On June 5, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and SoulCalibur II will be available for the service via Nintendo GameCube Classics on Nintendo Switch 2. Later, Nintendo will add Super Mario Sunshine, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Super Mario Strikers, Chibi-Robo, Luigi’s Mansion, and Pokémon Colosseum.
