Killer Instinct 2 (commonly abbreviated KI2) is a 1996 arcade-only fighting game developed by Rare, licensed by Nintendo, and manufactured by Midway.
KI2 is the sequel to Killer Instinct (1994), an arcade game which was also ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Like its predecessor, the game features two 8-way joysticks with six buttons each for attacks (three punch and three kick), allowing for both a single player mode or a two player versus mode.
A modified version of KI2 appeared on the Nintendo 64 as Killer Instinct Gold in 1999. A SNES version of KI2 was also developed and completed but never released.

Famous quotes containing the word instinct:
“My idea is that the world outside—the so-called modern world—can only pervert and degrade the conceptions of the primitive instinct of art and feeling, and that our only chance is to accept the limited number of survivors—the one- in-a-thousand of born artists and poets—and to intensify the energy of feeling within that radiant centre.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
