Why none of the retro KI games were released in Japan?
because it's gaijinslop
>>11984492And yet it's the only western fighter to get it right.
for some reason despite being obsessed with westerners japan never cared about their fightslop
>>11984492It's weird because games like Rise of the Robots were released over there.It's even more strange thar it was a 1st party Nintendo game in terms of publishing. It's definitely a mystery. I know japanese fighting fans still liked it though, people like Nishitani from Capcom is a KI fan
>>11984463Because KI was always garbage and nobody outside of the US liked it? Westerners can't do fighting games.
>>11984517Even if KI was bad, most other western fighters were released in Japan, so that's not it.
Nihongo no rike westernu characta designu. Nihongo rike animu girl.
>>11984463Nintendo had this love/hate relationship with Rare to begin with combined with the weird way Mortal Kombat / MK 2 was released in Japan the 4 years before that. Like it or hate it, KI was Nintendo's Mortal Kombat and Japan was weird with that level of violence.
>>11984561>Nintendo had this love/hate relationship with Rare to begin withFanfiction
>>11984564Miyamoto's daughter married one of the main white dudes at Rare and he is haunted by it for the rest of his life
The DKC games had references to Killer Instinct.
>>11984626Riptor is a DKC reference
Weebs: Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct only sold because of their graphics. Obviously Japan was immune from the hypeAlso weebs: Wow Virtua Fighter sold the majority of Saturns in Japan! Sugoi!
>>11984574>Miyamoto's daughter married one of the main white dudes at Rare and he is haunted by it for the rest of his lifeWait, for real? Source?
>>11984983His mentally disabled brain confused Dylan Cuthbert from Argonaut/Q-Games for also being britbong.
>>11984463As a non snesbabby i never give a shit about this franchise, there are way better fighting games around
>>11985118When you see one bad row of teeth, you have seen them all
>>11984981VF2 is objectively one of the best fighting games ever tho. MK and KI were carried by hype rather than good mechanics
>>11984463because they couldn't handle the high speed combo playing style since they only had street fighter
>>11985853KI is a slow game
>>11984463why not
>>11985862not compared to street fighter
>>11985873>comparing a 1994 game to a 1991 gameHow about Darkstalkers and X-Men?
