Rare Devs Dismiss Killer Instinct Panel de Pon Localization Rumor

Ex-Rare developers say they never heard of Nintendo or Nintendo of Japan asking Rare to turn Panel de Pon into a Killer Instinct-themed game for a Western release, and one magazine blurb cited as evidence isn’t corroborated by the developers. The claim appears unsubstantiated, with key figures like Chris Seavor and Mark Betteridge denying involvement or even knowledge of the plan.
