That depends, I've not played any of the Tekken games since 3.. The last great fighting game I owned was Soul Calibur on DC. Since then I've not really bothered with them, I find most of these games too shallow. However if they have a lot of extra modes and content, then sure.
Depends if there's Force mode and others, if it's just straight up standard fighting only then I'll probably not bother. I got the same way with Mario Kart, yes it's a good game, but when it's the same thing over and over it gets quite repetitive. Needs extra stuff to do apart from the main game, especially when there's not much to the main game to begin with and it ends up being over quite quickly.
There's nothing shallow about games like Tekken. You could put thousands of hours into trying to master just one character. Added fluff modes like Tekken Force are nice, and I welcome them, but that's where the real shallowness lies.
So if you took all the bonus stuff out of other games like Soul Calibur and just left the main mode, it'd be a better game? Nope. The reason that stuff is added in is to add replayability to the game because the main mode won't hold your attention for ages. It's like Crazy Taxi, fun in short bursts, but they added missions because they knew people would want more.
Then you have cheap skates like Nintendo who only added a Mission Mode in Mario Kart just once, then you never see it again.

We are talking about shallowness not overall quality. Tekken 7 added a bowling mode that nobody plays, 7 years later people are still playing it for its core fighting mechanics, which are incredibly deep, and it's the best selling Tekken of all time.
BS

I’d think that to be the case with each new entry.
This is said for every sequel for a game
