I always figured Rare/Microsoft were just doing their due diligence by renewing the trademark. I'd be really surprised if either party intended on making a sequel. Maybe a HD re-release. Like we need more of those.

Don't think MS has any intent in making a Killer Instinct game.  

Fighting games(with few exceptions) are a dying breed.

Can you explain this?
