According to a post from Tekken Zaibatsu’s Castel… Fighting during the holidays has never been this fun as NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. Announced today that TEKKEN 6 has gone gold for the PSP ® system and will be available nationwide on November 24, 2009. TEKKEN 6 for the PSP system is rate...
Gamespot just posted a preview of the upcoming Tekken 6 for the PSP, based on a build of the game that has the final feature set. The PSP version will have Arcade, Story, Challenge and Practice modes to keep players busy, along with Network Gameplay . Story mode will apparently have the bulk of...
Just found this cool vid from Youtube showing off a minute of Tekken 6 gameplay on the PSP. Just a minute, but quite a few things- Character Customization Interface, a DR-like Practice Mode (read: Better than the console games?) and a look at the new PSP-exclusive Gold Rush mode, which lets...
Famitsu of Japan just posted a batch of Tekken 6 screens from the upcoming PSP version. Yeah, the portable Iron Fist Tournament 6 is still on the way, and I have to say, it looks pretty good. Apparently the basic game will be pretty intact even from the arcade and console versions, including th...
With MK, SF and DOA having their movie adaptations, it’s about time that Tekken got a film to complete the fighting game film set (I don’t think Virtua Fighter will ever get a movie). Apparently the T-movie is vaguely set for sometime in 2010, so we may have a bit of a wait till we see Nina and Ann...
I’m not a big fan of shooters, but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 looks just too epic and awesome to pass up. The gameplay doesn’t see too restrictive and I’m a sucker for big military slugfests, politically-charged conspiracies and lots of firepower. The clincher that got me really intrigu...
These moves can change the course of the game… not. Youtube user Byakokoko just posted this cool video showing off most of the Item Moves in Tekken 6 (give or take one or two). In case you didn’t know, Item Moves are ‘unlocked’ by equipping certain items on a character. Some of them are pretty coo...
No, it’s not a review of the actual movie- just the trailer. Still, it beats no review of anything at all, plus the word seems pretty positive. I still can’t get over the apparent fact that a Tekken movie EXISTS yet is as yet still not generally out. It seems so low profile, like it’s an afterthoug...
Here’s a look at the poster for the live-action Tekken movie. Coming up on the tail end of the Tekken 6 marketing efforts, the film premieres today, Nov. 5, in Sta. Monica, CA. Luke Goss (Hellboy 2, Blade 2), who plays Steve Fox, will be present at this red carpet event along with some of [...]
Get into the mind of the world’s deadliest marsupials. While we were all waiting for the release of Tekken 6, one of the more unusual bits of marketing for the game was the Roger-centric online comic from the makers of Penny Arcade. The art style was far more cartoony than you’d usually expect...
For one, there is mention of an original PSP mode, “Gold Rush” (which was also in Tekken DR). This may replace the console versions’ Scenario Campaign mode, which we already know from past articles will not be making it into the PSP game. Perhaps this means earning fight money for all those cu...
As important as cinematic intros are as a tradition in the Tekken series, even more vital to the enjoyment of fans are the CG Character Endings. Tekken may not have started the trend of giving players a visual resolution as a reward for their struggles, but it has since become synonymous wit...
The most dedicated fighting game site I know, The Fighter’s Generation, finally posts their Tekken 6 review. Judging the game from an earnest perspective of a player who knows what he’s talking about and with little of the jaded nonsense of so many mainstream game reviewers, this should b...
Lili says, “Boo!” Happy Halloween from The Lone Gamer and, of course, the lovely Lili Rochefort from Tekken 6, who looks all dressed up for Halloween. It’s her Goth Makeup customization, something I posted about months and months ago, and recently I was able to buy it for the Monaco-based b...
Tekken 6 is out. There are many who love the game to pieces (like me) while some hate it for hating’s sake, many wish it could be better. In the wake of this momentous release, Namco-Bandai’s Katsuhiro Harada, who’s been working on the Tekken franchise for the past 15 years, speaks up on the his...
…it’s not good to be a pro-wrestler in the Tekken World. NOOOOO!!!! …if you’re a Tekken Tag fan, don’t stop hoping! …if Jun Kazama ever reappears, she’ll be a lot older. …Streetfighter/Virtua Fighter vs Tekken? …more intense facial expressions for Tekken 7?
1Up has posted their evaluation of the latest King of Iron Fist Tournament. Tekken 6 receives a score of B+, with reviewer Richard Li hitting on the laggy netcode and clunky Scenario Campaign, but otherwise praising the deep gameplay and features.
Namco-Bandai’s latest and greatest gets the video review treatment over at Gametrailers. The mostly-positive review cites the game as a ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ kind of thing. Good points include the accessible yet deep gameplay and variety of modes. Once again, Scenario Campaig...
It looked like a cool time, with MarkMan of SD-Tekken and In Joon Hwang, NB’s marketing manager for the game, present. Anyway, it’s a nice thing to watch and kill time with as we count down the hours, with tons of info, fighting game talk and gossip. Check it out!
Hopefully I’ll get my copy soon- maybe sooner than I think, but by hook or by crook, I will be having my Tekken 6 Play-a-thon starting tomorrow till Wednesday. Yep, two full days of nothing but Tekken 6. I’ve been waiting for this game for the past two years; I’m gonna freakin’ make an EVENT out o...
Two years of waiting…has ENDED! EGADS! Yes, Tekken 6 is in the HOUSE! I’ve been waiting for this game ever since I fell in love with it waaay back in late 2007, so forgive my absolute gushing. I actually had to work a bit to be able to get my game already- some slight begging and [...]
The result? Youtube right now is proliferating with Tekken 6 console videos. Gameplay is fine, or even the Intros. There’s one guy posting TONS of footage of the Scenario Campaign, while another is actually posting the Character Prologues and Endings now.
Even though you can switch to other characters and have some lines of dialogue unique to them as you encounter bosses, for the most part Lars’ and Alisa’s story continues regardless, with them continually being the main players in the cinematics.
I just checked my order for Tekken 6(PS3, US Version) at Play-Asia, and the status is currently ‘Preparing Order’. What does that mean? They’ve got the game in stock, and are probably wrapping it up to send it out to the courier right NOW. RIGHT FREAKIN’ NOW. If all goes well, it should be out [...]
As a result, it’s what they call The Most Complete Fighting Game Available, even up-ending other genre entries like Virtua Fighter 5 (too complex and demanding), Soulcalibur IV (few online options) and MK vs DC Universe (clunky). Check out the full review (and the rest of the latest OXM E-...
Also, the Official Japanese Tekken 6 site has updated. The Extra Costume section (it’s under Game System) has finally been filled up, revealing Mecha-Kazuya. Also, the long-dormant Character section is now open- what’s cool is the layout of the page, which has all the character art bunch...
Asuka sez, “Watch Gametrailer’s Video Preview of Tekken 6 or I’m gonna kick your ass!” Gametrailers has just posted a slick new video preview of the console versions of Tekken 6. Not a review yet, though I expect that very soon- perhaps by the end of the week or early next week, just before lau...
Street Fighter IV (PS3/360, Capcom): 9, 8, 8, 9 – (34/40) Melty Blood: Actress Again (PS2, Ecole): 6, 7, 7, 6 – (26/40) Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (PS2, Sammy): 8, 7, 8, 7 – (30/40) Virtua Fighter 5 Live Arena (Xbox 360, Sega): 7 ,8 ,9 ,8 – (32/40)
Asuka Kazama stars in this collaboration between Namco and Ultra Jump Egg. Well, whaddaya know… there’s an actual Tekken Comic! Produced by Namco-Bandai and Ultra Jump Egg- an online flash comic site- this manga tells the story of the Tekken 6 fighters, albeit in a bit more light-hearted...
Here’s the latest episode of Namco’s Video Podcasting Magazine, and they show off some footage of the Character Customization feature in the console version of Tekken 6. Not a lot of stuff, and they show the squealy hosts more than they do the game, but what the heck… it’s something to watch....
Till death do they part… Youtube channel SuperArcadeBox is posting a bunch of match vids from the Xbox360 version of Tekken 6. The first one has Lili Rochefort thoroughly kicking butt in her scandalously sexy Oh! Great-designed Extra Console Outfit. Sharp-eyed players will notice that L...
Taking a trip back to early 2008… With the release of Tekken 6’s console version imminent, I find myself thinking back to the game that started it off… Tekken 6. Well, to be more exact, Tekken 6.0, or ‘Tekken 6 Vanilla’, as it has come to be known among fans. Relatively unknown to the rest of [...]
Character Analysis: Ah, the Big Bad. In this case, he’s literally BIG. The most massive character ever (although Nancy may give him a run for his money) to appear yet in a Tekken game, Azazel is surely an intimidating sight the first time you see him looming over your fighter, raining down bru...
More Tekken 6 footage! More! MORE!!! Here’s another video preview of Tekken 6 for consoles from Youtube channel GolemDE, this time from Germany! This 4-minute montage of footage shows off quite a bit of stuff- aside from your usual VS battle action and snippets from the intro there’s act...
Gaming site Giant Bomb takes a ‘quick look’ at the upcoming Ultimate Fighter, Tekken 6 (PS3 version)… as in, about a half-hour’s worth of gameplay and funny banter. The whole time is spent playing VS Battle once more, although we do get a nice look at Ling Xiaoyu’s TapouT shirt customizatio...
If you’re like me, you’d want to have a real-time clock ticking away to the release of our long-awaited Tekken 6 for console. Well, our wish has been granted! 1Up has just put up one such countdown for Namco-Bandai’s fighting masterpiece… just ignore the fact that the previews and articles...
Youtube channel PlayworksMag just posted a hefty video preview of the console version of Tekken 6, with the correspondents visitng Namco-Bandai’s offices and taking a look at the review build. The preview spans almost 7 minutes and runs through a lot of stuff- they play with a bunch of the...
SD-Tekken has just posted two batches of too-cool screencaps from the console versions of Tekken 6. Taken right from their review copies of the game, the screens show samples of menu screens, snippets of the intro, various modes, story mode prologue art and even a few bits of ending cinema...
Beauty unleashed. In case that previous video preview of Tekken 6 I posted about had too much manliness for you, here’s something for a change. This viral video for the game (part 2, I gather) focuses on the fury of the fairer sex. What does this vid have to do with our much-awaited fighting game...
…today, the official Tekken 6 site was launched. It was a slick-looking site, with slightly-animated figures of Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima glaring at each other, their clothing fluttering in some heavy breeze. The weird creaking noise and sound effects made the whole thing feel more l...
Singing Praise for an Unsung Peon of Scenario Campaign mode. With just little more than two weeks to go to the console releases of Tekken 6, we’ve arrived at one more entry in our long-running weekly series of character-specific articles. This time we take on a challenger who may not be known...
Movie Theater will give you access to the Opening Intro (which every Tekken fan has probably watched to death by now). Here’s also where you get to watch the 40+ CG Endings for the fighters. Yes, the standard CG character epilogues are back, and from the few glimpses of a few screencaps online...
With full support via PlayStation Network and Xbox Live online game service, TEKKEN 6 online features include: Players will be able to start trading blows to the face and neck in order to compete for the international title of Tekken God at then end of the month.
1Up and Gamevideos have posted the recorded version of Game Night with Tekken 6. The lengthy play session with Namco-Bandai’s upcoming fighting game sequel is in three parts, totaling at about 45 minutes. The episode was officiated by 1Up’s Richard Li, and attended by tournament players...
The Mishima Soap Opera on the Little Big Screen. No, don’t laugh… this amateur short film project made by Youtube and Tekken Zaibatsu member Quantum Optic is actually worth seeing for anyone who loves the Tekken franchise. Originally made for the G4TV Fantastic Fest competition (but it di...
And DAMN, do a lot of these A.I. bastards kick my ass! I have to confess though- Soulcalibur really isn’t my main game. I love it, love the graphics, storyline and character, and I always play it, but I never really got into SC’s game system, or combos. I just dabble, knowing how to Guard Impact and...
Game Night sees the 1Up guys giving various titles a leisurely spin, answering various questions sent in during the live webcast and taping. This coming Tuesday (Pacific) 1Up fighting game guy Richard Li and some tournament-level players take the console version of Tekken 6 some much-d...
Enjoy Alisa’s trailer as well as all the rest of the Tekken 6 crew’s! …then have your fill NOW at the official Tekken 6 Online Tournament! Finally continuing from the 7-part weekly Character Matchup a couple of months ago, Namco-Bandai and Gametrailers have released the whole kit and cab...
Tekken 6’s bonus boss is one tough momma. Stay tuned next week as we take on one more EXTRA entry in the Tekken 6 Character Countdown! Tekken 6 is set for release this coming October 27 for PS3 and Xbox360. A PSP release is expected sometime in November.
From Play Magazine: “There are flaws that hurt the experience, but nothing, nothing, stops Tekken 6 from being an intense, tactical and utterly brilliant fighting game, perfect for anyone with even a fleeting interest in the genre.”
According to Markman of SD-Tekken and Tekken Zaibatsu (who has a review copy of the game), to find the CG endings, you have to play through Scenario Campaign. Initially only Lars and Alisa will be selectable, but as you encounter characters and beat stages you’ll unlock them for play. Once a...
Subtitled dialogue will probably tell most of the storylines of the many fighters in Scenario Campaign. Gamersyde, that Euro-gaming site that tends to have so many wonderfully irritating comments made about Tekken 6, just posted an extended gameplay vid showing off Scenario Campaign...
As I expected, the Opening CG intro to Tekken 6 has preceded the actual release of the game. IGN has just posted the console versions’ Opening Cinematic for all to see. Running at almost 3 minutes, the intro surely keeps up the series’ tradition of awesome, cutting-edge pre-rendered cinema...
Bringing up the rear is a video interview with the Tekken 6 developers conducted by G4TV’s Morgan Webb at the recently-concluded TGS2009. It focuses more on the PSP version of Tekken 6, and talks a bit about the game’s Ghost Character System. Check it out here.
Okay, speculation and hearsay have finally given way to confirmed fact- a new version of Streetfighter IV is on the way. Dubbed nicely Super Streetfighter IV, this stand-alone kinda-sequel will be released as a separate game from SFIV instead of DLC, and will have tons of new stuff includ...
In Tekken 4, a Jack robot was not among the playable roster, although in the events prior to Tekken 5, a squadron of Jack robots, called Jack-4’s, would attack Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima in the Honmaru Shrine. These Jacks appear to be less durable than the previous Jack models, and include...
Ever the bad-ass, Kazuya can afford to change hairstyles in the middle of a battlefield. PS3 IGN has just posted a gazillion (well, it feels like that) Tekken 6 screenshots. These are a real treat since most of them show off the game’s various customization items (as well as the new interface...
MarkMan of SD-Tekken finally gave out this cool scan of the last console exclusive outfit in Tekken 6. The only problem is… I don’t know who the heck it’s for! Can anyone tell? Anyway, the artwork/design of this awesome-looking mech suit was done by manga-ka Takayuki Yamaguchi, who create...
Good news for those waiting for news about the handheld version of Tekken 6. 1Up and IGN have just posted Hands-on Impressions of the PSP Tekken 6, and it sounds pretty good. Not just positive, but good. All the fighters are available, and apparently the character models were created from scr...
Lili and Roger duke it out in their console-exclusive outfits. The first day of TGS seemed to be a pretty slow day for Tekken 6- the TGS2009 trailer posted on the Japanese PSN was just a subtitle-less Gamescom video. Fortunately, the day wasn’t a total loss. The official Japanese Tekken 6 site...
Jin and Kaz meet at TGS. Photo courtesy of 1Up. Looks like Namco-Bandai is making an extra-cool showing at the Tokyo Game Show 2009, and it’s pretty easy to see what game is carrying the banner. Fronting the NB booth is a display with life-size figurines of Jin Kazama and his old man/mortal enem...
Still, I’m wary of getting the bundle simply because I have a perfectly-fine arcade stick (Hori Real Arcade Pro 3) at home already. The art book looks nice, but really- at 95 pages, this probably just gives perhaps 2 pages or less per character, so it’s not like it’s gonna be like the awesome U...
SD-Tekken just posted this nice bit of info. The lovely, leggy Lili Rochefort is gracing the cover of Play’s Girls of Gaming Vol. 7. The blonde heiress from Monaco shows off her swimsuit body as well as a nice tan in a skimpy bikini, with some of the Tekken boys frolicking in the background. Perha...
Namco-Bandai and Gametrailers’ Character Matchup and online Tekken Tournament continues with Week 8. This time, one of the newest challengers takes on a fighter from the original roster. It’s Zaibatsu defector and Swedish subversive Lars Alexandersson versus the Fighting Chef, Mars...
The Hottest Babes. Yeah, yeah… every good fighting game has hotties. But Tekken 6 has more of them (count ‘em… nine!) and the best-looking thanks to the game’s gloriously-detailed HD graphics. Uber-beauties like Nina Williams, Lili Rochefort and Asuka Kazama have truly never looked as go...
Found this bit from the blog of Richard Li, 1Up’s resident fighting game guru. Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion is, BTW, still the top arcade game in Japan according to the latest issue of Arcadia Magazine. The console versions are due out this October.
As we already know, Scenario Campaign is a new, online-capable minigame/mode in Tekken 6 that will allow players to take their favorite Tekken fighters out of the regular arena and battle hordes of enemies in expansive areas and stages. Fight money, customization items and real-time cu...
The Iron-fisted drama that is the Tekken 6 manga continues. As Jin Kazama prepares a major Tekken Force operation at the Russian border, the beautiful and deadly assassin, Nina Williams, infiltrates the Zaibatsu base with the new CEO in her sights.
Some screens of the PSP version of Tekken 6 came out recently, and they look… well… they don’t look as good as the PS3 and Xbox360 screens. But of course, that’s a given. The screens so far seem to at least adequately approximate the look of T6, but of course the character models have more jagged...
Check out the whole kit and caboodle at Gamespot Japan’s Tekken 6 Feature. Or here. Tekken 6 is set for release on PS3, Xbox360 and PSP this October 2009. Gamespot of Japan just posted a lengthy article on Tekken 6, featuring the bios of several fighters,
Hwoarang VS Devil Jin. This is a bit of a two-in-one. Hwoarang and Jin once shared a friendly rivalry, but that seems to have totally changed after Tekken 5. Good-natured sparring has degenerated into malicious hate and jealousy after Hwoarang was ambushed by Devil Jin. After hard training,...
I really want a Battle Theater or mode where you can pit two characters (customized as you want) in a CPU vs CPU battle. Or maybe even a battle with two Ghost A.I. characters. Tekken 6 is a gorgeous game, and a way to appreciate the graphics in a relaxed way would be nice.
All that is certain is that we will all be fighting hard to unlock the truth (and we’re not talking about whether or not Kazuya killed Leo’s mom) in the console versions’ Story Mode. Tekken 6 is set for release on the PS3, Xbox360 and PSP this Fall 2009.
But in Tekken 5 (Dark Resurrection), a new fighter wearing the Black Jaguar mask and armored costume emerges, attacking Craig. The new Armor King continues to harass Marduk into Tekken 6, goading both him and King into an inevitable confrontation.
Rather than posting any more random pics of customized characters (though I will, if I find cool ones), why not post the Jackpot itself? Recently discovered at Tekken Zaibatsu, this Korean Tekken 6 site includes a section containing what appears to be every charaters’ customizations,...
The Home Console Intro Movie is currently clocking in at around 5 minutes long, and features all of the characters in situations according to their Tekken 6 storylines. The earliest known footage shown from the actual console intro was the Lili-Asuka snippet in the latest console teaser...
Minigames. Over and aside from the ‘major new console mode’ we’ve already talked about, how about some little diversions for some laughs? We’ve already seen Tekken Ball and Tekken Bowl… how about Tekken Tennis? You can already dress up Lili like Jennifer Capriati anyway. Or the secretly-...
As a way of counting down the time to the release of Tekken 6 for the PS3 and Xbox360, I’ve decided to begin this weekly series of lengthy, character-specific articles, each one featuring one of the 40 or so competing warriors in the latest and greatest King of Iron Fist Tournament. Hopefull...
Well, we can always do fan fiction and fan comics… Heh. Apparently Jin Kazama, current CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu in Tekken 6, has got more than just snazzy long coats in his closet. Here’s a pic posted at the Tekken Zaibatsu forums, showing a customized Jin Kazama wearing stuff calle...
It’s still about a week and a half before BR is slated to arrive here in Metro Manila, but thankfully a more-or-less steady stream of videos is making the wait a wee bit easier. The customizations are so far cool for the most part, though I found some characters once again getting the short end...
SD-Tekken just posted an awesome article about the recently-held Tekken 6 International Tournament hosted by arcade chain Timezone which saw the crowning of a new International Champion player as well as the announcement of some awesome news for local Tekken-heads.
Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion has been out for a couple of days, and FINALLY a fair bit of media is coming online; there’s nothing of course on any of the big gaming sites, but Youtube, video hosting channels and Tekken-specific forums are your friend in this regard. Anyway, the main takeaw...
WOW! A new Tekken 6 trailer for the home console versions has been posted over at Eurogamer TV. It’s got a lot more of the traditional pre-rendered CG cinematics mixed in with in-game action. It also confirms pretty much that the home games will have the BR content and more as Alisa Boskonovit...
If anything, I hope Harada-san’s visit here more or less guarantees that Bloodline Resurrection will make it to Manila arcades. The Philippines is Tekken Stronghold, and our local arcade scene is very energetic. That should make the wait for the anticipated console version a li’l bit eas...
There's really no shortage of speculation in the coming upgrade, given how gamers have been waiting almost a year, impatiently, for Tekken 6 PS3. I'm hoping against hope that Namco does indeed finally announce something about the console port along with BR. I've been waiting so long, Namc...
Character Customization is one of my favorite things in the new fighting games, and I wish they really go all out in implementing this in the home version, even better than they did in the previous games. The most basic thing I would wish for would be new, extra items for the PS3 game, the abili...
We’ll be keeping our eyes and ears peeled on this one… I want Tekken 6 on my PS3 yesterday, dammit. SD-Tekken just posted a pretty tantalizing fragment, saying that we can expect news about the console version of Tekken 6 to come sometime this April- which is a couple of weeks from now. Perhaps...
