Bad News, Rare has nothing to do with it (not surprising, considering Rare is currently run by a skeleton crew that are too busy making XBox Avatar accessories to care about much else).
It is being made by Double Helix. They are responsible for a number of rather bland and uninspired movie cash ins, and also Silent Hill Homecoming. I wonder if they have what it takes to do a new Killer Instinct.
At any rate, MS is intent on packaging Killer Instinct as a "free to pay" system, where you can download ONE character for free (basically a demo) and have to pay for each individual character past that. So, in the end, the game's total cost may exceed $60 in a nice classic scam. Yes, some people "only get good with one or two characters". The problem with their logic is that friend that just came to your house is good with a DIFFERENT "one or two characters" than the ones you bought, and thus, competitive play between friends dies.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
