Killer Instinct 2 is a fighting game developed by Rare, licensed by Nintendo and manufactured by Midway in 1996. A modified version of KI2 appeared on the Nintendo 64 as Killer Instinct: Gold, but a SNES version of KI2 was also developed and completed but never released. [Info from Wikipedia]

Wikipedia gives its source as Retro Gamer #84; unfortunately, I probably don’t have that issue to hand to check for any details.

There is also this interview with Chris Tilston: “We actually had Killer Instinct 2 in development for SNES. That was quite far along. There were more frames and it was looking decent. Obviously the Nintendo 64 then came along and we released Gold for the N64.”

i remember seeing some rumors about a ki2 version of snes on magazines too
there are quite a few games that were planned for the snes but later released on the n64, like goldeneye and mario 64.
