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:
“Each reaching and aspiration is an instinct with which all nature consists and cöoperates, and therefore it is not in vain. But alas! each relaxing and desperation is an instinct too. To be active, well, happy, implies courage. To be ready to fight in a duel or a battle implies desperation, or that you hold your life cheap.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
