Killer Instinct Gold joins the Nintendo Switch Online library as the latest Nintendo 64 title.
A refined Nintendo 64 version of the arcade hit Killer Instinct 2, Gold complements the original Killer Instinct in the growing collection of retro games accessible to Online Expansion Pack subscribers.
Launched in 1996, Killer Instinct Gold was crafted by British developer Rare, a key Nintendo partner at the time, known for titles like Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye 007, and Perfect Dark on early Nintendo consoles. Players can select from 10 dynamic fighters and engage in various modes, mastering countless moves and devastating combos.
Rare, now under Microsoft’s ownership, sees Killer Instinct Gold as another Xbox Game Studios title on the Switch. Despite the 2013 release of the Xbox One’s Killer Instinct, Microsoft has shown no plans for a new sequel in the franchise.

Nintendo Switch Online is a subscription service for the Nintendo Switch, offering online play for competitive or cooperative gaming, plus a vast library of classic Nintendo titles from the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, and soon, GameCube libraries with the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. A complimentary seven-day trial is available.
Nintendo Switch 2 preorders opened in late April at $449.99, with demand exceeding expectations. Although Nintendo cautioned U.S. customers pre-ordering from the My Nintendo Store that delivery dates aren’t guaranteed due to high demand, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser assured IGN that sufficient stock will support consumer needs through the holiday season.
