I must thank a lot Jake for the pics and the two links!! About the two KI2 midi for SNES, I'm not sure about their reliability nor how could be uploaded online. Anyway I'd like to clariry more the speech of the KI2 white name as the former beta version ever. Searching again, I have found one of the two site that talk about of KI2 beta as played game. http://www.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/file/583591/582 Here on the section rumors, the guy explain that on the beta version there were the humiliation, than removed, but even if it's a rumor, on the other site I have read that they replaced them to the 2nd ultimate. So the KI2 beta had just one ultimate and an humiliation per character.(and of course in this faq there's the explaination for every glitch). And to confirm the rumor of the guy about the humiliation in the beta version, here we have the pic of Jake: Moreover there's an explanation why the guy at Rare decided to change the names(since the several preview, has white names). Several years ago I talked to a guy that played the beta KI2(with white names) and I asked his a lot of things, such as the character color missing(green orchid etc) and the names. Basically he said me that there was a glitch. Sometimes when the brief FMV that introduce the stage ends and there's the READY, one character name "disappear". It was irrelevant both on player and CPU. Thus, on the 2nd beta version of KI2(the one with some changes such as the bigger flame on the Stonehenge, with yellow names) the guy at rare, probably fixing the glitch they have edited them widely. EDIT: I just want add the pic of KIG beta found in a video of the E3 96: and of course the whole video: The beta stonehenge could be seen at 3:39 Here the shots are in a similar angle of the stage; the camera is more aimed to the sky instead of the final version of the Stonehenge and the well seems missing while clouds run like the one of KI2.

Case closed. The video is not a Beta version of KI2 since ad I said even to Thor via PM the former version of KI2 the fatalities were missing. It's simply a video that lists every glitch of the game. But I thank him for his interest. So please anyone get the pics I need(like the one in my firt post here -white names; greeny graphics-) I'd like to have them.

Ok PM sent. Let me know what youi think about the screen capturing.

I can assure you that the beta version(thus playble and presented in late 95') has that white names. Moreover, the pics I posted just before are from the #82 of Nintendo power and EMG #80. Anyway, could exist the possibility that there's a second beta version that has yellow name, infact in the EMG number, as I was speaking of before, there are both kind of names in the same preview. About the video you are talking about I haven't found anything.(I don't know what video you meant).

Anyway guys, there's another reason if I want to regain the KI2 beta pics. I would like to put them on the web, in order to know if there's anyone that has a KI2 beta arcade and if it's possible to make up a rom. Basically even in the middle of the 90'(but sure you know that better than me) the most important source of pics/info about every game was the mags. Actually it's pretty hard(impossbile in certain case) to find pics of older games that are not taken from some bad emulation.(like the almost every KI2 pics on google, since the arcade monitor has a more intense colour/contrast) Therefore, since I can cleary remember every issue ever published with KI2 beta pics, I must get back everything. Comparing the various mags cover with the older released in my country, I bet that the remaining pics of the KI2 beta-greeny graphic-white names- should be a number of Game Players. However, coming back to the speech of the remote possibility to know whether could exist a beta rom, these are the "intermediate" pics that set the KI2 evolution(and that probably still exists in a Jamma):

Ah thanks a lot! Basically I am obsessed with this game, but reason why I am searching for the KI2 beta version is to control some changes in the ultimate version with yellow character names. The first pictures ever published were like the one I posted here before. Now if you are speaking of KI2 beta it should be at last with white names. I don't know if it has the graphic slightly green like the picture posted, but should be something like that. Anyway there's another weird thing about KI2 "beta version". For example I have found a KI2 preview with both white and yellow name mixed, and even in the yellow name there are some changes: Here Spinal teleport on the ground is supported with a flame, instead of that kind of sparkles in the ordinary KI2 version And here the flame within the Stonehenge well is quite bigger that the one in the ultimate game. (incrdible you found something that old! In years of research, all I have found was a video of the beta KIGold, a little bit different from the final version). Ok let me see the video!

Hello everyone! I am seeking for some Killer Instinct 2 pics I cannot find easily in the old 1995-1996 mags. I need those one: I'd be thankful if someone has a mag with those pics(I'm sure there are some of those with the white names under the energy bar, that are a bit different of those found in the Nintendo Power still white but a bit stretched and the graphic is not that green). Thanks in advance!
