Video Game Ad of the Day: Killer Instinct
by Matt Keller on Jul.28, 2011, under Video Game Ad of the Day
There’s something I don’t like about Nintendo of America’s mid 90s advertising, but I can’t pinpoint it.
Killer Instinct was a fighting game developed by Rare for the arcade and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The arcade cabinet famously claimed that it was running the same hardware as the upcoming Ultra 64 console, which was proved to be false. The SNES version of the game is a pretty huge technical achievement, but in reality, the underlying game is not particularly memorable when the graphics are stripped away. This ad is for the SNES release.
