Rare could be working on a third Killer Instinct fighting game if history repeats itself.
The rumours have arose after Rare released three Viva Pinata animal cards which are based on characters from Killer Instinct. You can scan these if you own an Xbox Live Vision camera.

The sequel was then teased in Diddy Kong Racing, another superb N64 title which in my opinion beats Mario Kart. But enough of the fond memories
And for further ammo, were rumours on this website. Would you like to see another Killer Instinct? Tell us below.
