Killer Instinct 3 and Jet Force Gemini 2 denied on Xbox 360, no info on other Rare games until Banjo Threeie is finished

supadupagama June 26th, 2007 Listen to this article "Hey! Listen!"

Killer Instinct for SNESLast year’s Killer Instinct 3 rumors (and lord knows how long before that) just won’t die. So Rare answered yesterday’s Scribes (their Q&A column since 1998) reader question “Does Rare have any plans of making a new, edgier, and stylistically better Killer Instinct game, be it on a home console or on arcade machine?” that also requested various other sequels, and got the following answer:

Jet Force Gemini for N64“All that build-up, and then it comes crashing down into the anticlimax of ‘are you making Killer Instinct 3 or Jet Force Gemini 2 or an RPG’? Purely out of contractual obligation, no, we’re not working on Killer Instinct 3, no, we don’t have a secret team in the basement finishing off Jet Force Gemini 2, no, we’re not brainstorming an exciting sequel to It’s Mr. Pants and traditionally we’re not big players in the RPG market either. Until we’re ready to unveil some of the games beyond the new Banjo that we are working on.”

Rare has denied this because they signed a contract to secrecy, so it all depends on when Banjo-Threeie comes to Xbox 360 that we’ll hear something about any other games. Banjo & Kazooie don’t have a release date in 2007 yet, so we can assume it’ll be until sometime in 2008 when we’ll hear what other games Rare are planning.

    Man I think Banjo isnt that important right now. I think Rare should make Killer Instinct 3 for the Nintendo Wii Console. Make it Compatible with the wii classic controller. And I bet you guys that Killer Instinct 3 will sell way better than Banjo Threeie. I bet you guys when Killer instinct 3 comes out, it will sell more discs than banjo threeie. Honestly im a Killer instinct fan and if you guys do make Killer Instinct 3 for the Nintendo Wii console I would probably be the first one to buy it!

    I think they should continue making banjo-threeie. The first two were really good, so why not make another one? It’s time to bring it back after all these years. Also, I think rareware should make banjothree for Wii. Come on, they made for nintendo64. It would be stupid not to make it for Wii.

    Yeah I’m pretty sure with the whole “Microsoft owns Rare now” thing going on will make sure that Banjo 3 (or JFG2, KI3, etc) will not appear on the Wii (Donkey Kong games still belong to Nintendo though, Rare just made the games for them so I don’t think DK’s dead). It kinda hurt Nintendo when they sold Rare but it kept them out of the gutter long enough to make the Wii so it’s better to lose half of your mascots than to loose them all, considering how Rare games play I think it might actually help Rare to be XBox exclusive especially after playing Conker and Kameo on the XBox and XBox 360 and seeing how easy it is to control compared to older games (I loved Jet Force Gemini but dear God its controls sucked badly).
