Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct, originally released in 1994 for arcades before jumping to the Game Boy and SNES in 1995, is a 2.5D fighting game not unlike Mortal Kombat. There are an assortment of fighters to choose from, including cyborgs and raptors, all trying to beat the absolute shit out of their opponents. And doing so looks cool on account of the flashy combos and crunchy animations when attacks land. This is a good one.
