The classic Tekken for Playstation got a Retrospective and also two reviews, one written from a 1995 perspective and one from today's perspective in this article which describes the game, the limbs control type introduced with Tekken, the characters, the soundtrack and more.
See how the franchise and console intertwined over the years.
NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
Tekken's enduring popularity is owed in part to its varied and well-written cast of characters, and the lore behind them really brings them to life.
Basically all Tekken 1 standard characters except Michelle, + boss Heihachi Mishima and maybe Kuma. Also Lei and Jun from Tekken 2, Hwoarang, Eddy,Xiaoyu, Bryan Fury, Mokujin, Jin- from Tekken 3. After that they added many more great characters but none of them used to be as fun and interesting as the fleshed out initial ones from the first 3 games. Tekken 7 was really weak when it came to new characters.
And to be honest..that "article" that does not even have Yoshimitsu in it looks like a cheap excuse to have the keyword Tekken 8 on the website.
Ahhhh....memories!! I loved that game!!
I was more of a Virtua Fighter fan.
Tekken is and will always be the king of fighters.You knew a fighting game is good when you can apply some of the techniques to fighting in real life.
virtual fighter to me was good when it hit the ps2 and ps3.
I remember this guy who iwent to high school with had a ps1 (he sold it to me for 300 with resident evil)he had it at a party,this dude won 50 fights in a row i was hook from that moment on.button mashing gets you k nowhere with tekken
I've got so many hours put into TTT2. I just can't get tired of it. The movelists are so in-depth and varied. I'm hoping for some tekken 7 news this e3.
Nothing ever beats where a series starts. Of course, Tekken is originally known for it's feat of defying the laws of gravity. Yet, it is definitely a classic fighting game!
