We consider this Killer Cuts 2.0 – a nod to nostalgia, with visual embellishments that allow the artistry involved to truly shine.Īs for the music – as with all iam8bit vinyl releases, the audio is mastered specifically for vinyl audio supremacy – this time by Infrasonic Sound, whose studio just so happens to be right down the road from our headquarters in Echo Park, California. This experience was so amazing that we thought – why stop there? We HAD to make Sabrewulf … and Fulgore, too! The fabrication of these hand touched figures took weeks of meticulous craftsmanship, which was then photographed and professionally composited to give you the awesome covers that you see today. To do this, we worked closely with master puppet fabricator, Chelsea Bayouth (who’s worked on shows like Robot Chicken ), to construct both Spinal – as well as the background elements – completely from scratch! We strove to maintain this traditional vibe by recreating Spinal as an ACTUAL hand-crafted puppet. The original Killer Cuts cover featured a then-state-of-the-art CG version of Spinal, as if flung out of a 1930’s claymation film – dark, sinister, and cheesy in the best possible ways. Since the very first vinyl record that iam8bit minted, we’ve dreamed that, one day, we’d find ourselves in the hallowed halls of the KI coliseum! So it’s a great thrill to announce that we’ve collaborated with Xbox to resurrect the legendary album, Killer Cuts, now for the very first time on wax… and it only took 21 years! Robin Beanland and Graeme Norgate ‘s music spans metal, rock, hip-hop, and of course… glorious 90’s pop. The concept for a vampire character wouldn't be introduced until Killer Instinct (2013) with the introduction of Mira.The soundtrack to the original Killer Instinct is the most epic fighting game soundtrack ever produced. One name to point out is 'Vampire' which went unused in the final game. All others go by a generic entry instead of their final names. Within this listing found at address 88031C3B, only the characters from the previous game are named excluding an early name for Kim Wu 'Kung Kim'. The game contains two character lists that show a progression in character development up until the release. Note that version 1.0 of the disk image has never been dumped, and is believed to no longer exist. It is currently unknown why her stage triggers this text to be loaded into memory. While battling on Kim Wu's stage, it is possible to find this text allocated at a dynamic location in memory. (Source: Paulina Jaramillo) Early Diagnostic Information The way the endings work is that there is a main ending screen, then, depending if you performed a fatality on a certain character(s) or destroyed something in a certain stage (or did both), you get a second, third and even fourth variable screen (Fulgore and Jago were supposed to have up to 8 variations!).Ĭomplete game with the these characters to see their unused endings. But according to Chris Tilston, one of the game's main designers and programmers, they were never tied to the game due to a lack of time.

The game has a lot of unused endings that were probably going to be triggered depending on what parts of a stage you destroyed.
