Killer Instinct came to the SNES in 1995, a year after its debut on the arcade. Developed by Rare and published by Nintendo, this port for a home console was proposed to capture the essence of the bloody fighting game original and the technical limitations of the SNES.
In this version, the characters, known as "combos", presented sprites smaller and less detailed than in the arcade, and the scenarios are displayed with a color palette guests. The original soundtrack, composed by Mick Gordon, also is simplified, using samples of lower quality.
Despite these cuts, Killer Instinct for SNES retains game mechanics that defined it in its original version. The combo system, based on the combination of buttons, allows you to perform devastating attacks and special moves spectacular. The health bar is divided into two sections adds a touch of strategic combat, as each section represents a limb of the character and its depletion can leave you vulnerable.
