They said no due to a TV show coming out later with the same name eventhough the original KI was out 10 years prior to the TV show WTF! shame....

They could always call it something else.

Like Killers' Instinct. Or the Instinct of Killers.

Or just scrap the whole thing and call it "Killfest 2026."

I'd rather not have Microsoft tampering with any old Rare IPs after what they've become in the past couple years... This is probably a good thing.

Nintendo should just buy those old Rare IP's and make the games themselves. They're pretty much synonymous with the Nintendo name anyway.

Why don't they just change the name like seriously is it that hard?

I think KI should stay as it is...dead. It was a great game and ate many quarters of mine in the arcade way back when. I just don't want this in Microsoft's hands, nor the current Rare's hands. Leave it be.
