Nintendo has announced that Nintendo 64 classic Killer Instinct Gold is now available to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers.
The Rare-developed fighting game was originally released for the Nintendo 64 way back in 1996, and has now hit the portable home console:
Killer Instinct Gold (Nintendo 64): 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!
