    I thought there was a similar dispute between Microsoft and Nintendo over trademark rights, or am I thinking about this one?

    Fox Television Studios. You know, the same folks who aired In Living Color, The Simpsons, Married with Children, Family Guy, etc. Read the trademark agreement in the opening post link.

    Killer Instinct was one of those cash in franchises that really just made me cringe at Fighting games in general from then on. I am always shocked and amazed at how obviously bad a game can be and still become popular principally because of hype and the manufacturer. If Sega made Killer Instinct it would have been as nice as Fighting Vipers remains, but because of the Ultra 64 hype machine we have a "franchise" that people just adore.

    Yeah, MK9 was amazing and Injustice demo I played today was kick ass! I'm not one of those over the top fighting fanboys, but love an easy pickup and play fighting game! SF4 was kinda stupid though...

    KI was one of those type of games, not a huge fan, but enjoyed the arcade and snes port! I'd like to see this on the Xbox Live arcade and/or WiiU Eshop!
