I have come across a mint Killer Instinct 2 cabinet at what seems like an insanely low price. What do these cabinets usually go for?

The board and hard drive alone go for about $200. For a dedicated KI2 in complete working condition, I think anything under $400 local is a steal. I got mine for a steal and it is not going anywhere.
 
KI

What is inside the cab? Anything cut? Does the cab have a low serial number? Does it play blind? I would pay at a minimum 400 easy for just a cabinet without a jamma board. Children of the 80's love Killer Instinct. I would pick it up immediately.
 
Good questions REDORLANDO. The inside of the cabinet is uncut and the monitor is pristine and looks great. It appears to have not been capped yet but this is easy enough to take care of. The CP is great with no cracks or burns side art is immaculate and marquee has no scratches or burns on the back glass.

It sounds like the price is in line with the average cabinets at 500$, but I know this has been advertised for about 6 months now so I will take the advice from Les and offer the 400$ first and see if they will bite. if not I will go max 450$.

You guys are awesome with an answer for me on the same day!!! Thanks and have a good evening.
 
Awesome. Good find. It is a must for any fighting game collector. The 90's was a fight game explosion which argumentatively ended with Killer Instinct as one of the best fighting games ever.
 
Ki 1 is great
Ki2, not so much. Ki is my grail, I've owned 3. I'd never buy a ki2. But my opinions are my own. :)


Your crazy. Killer Instinct 2 was the last in the franchise to hit the arcades. It was also a joint collaboration between three power houses: Midway, Nintendo, Rare.

Midway has since went belly up and Rare is now owned by Microsoft.

People on various forums are pleading with Microsoft to release both titles as downloadable games via Xbox live. The Killer Instinct games have a huge following. Just check youtube.

I don't see any pacman or centipede fan made video game trailers. KILLERRRRRRRRRRRRRR COMBO!
 
Fof the last 5 years KI boards have always been around $200 and up. Never understood that when MK and SF board were $20. Now everything is up. Why is that? New generation of arcade collectors?

Im 34, I have finally gotten to a point where I can start getting the games that were classics to me (IE smash TV, MK, KI, ect...) I'm guessing that the guys who where hanging out at arcades around the same time I was are looking for the games they grew up loving....

That plus the MK and SF games have so many installments to where it dilutes the brand a bit, and also the big reason is that MK and SF games have proper console ports, whereas Killer Instinct never had an arcade perfect console release.
 
When they first sent us KI2 at Midway, they called me into work to come see it and when I walked into the lab where the game was set up, I took one look at it and asked where the real game was. I thought they were ribbing me because it looked more like a Super Nintendo game to me than an arcade game. The graphics were way better in the first one.

I get what they were trying for in the game play department and I liked how the combos got longer if you mixed things up but the game really did suck compared to the first one.
 
C'mon MXV, it wasn't that bad. Sure the graphics weren't a step up but bad enough you thought it was a joke? I still love them both and don't understand why a KI3 hasn't been made for a current console.
