    First Look At Tekken Movie Costume

    Another game, another movie adaptation! Here's a first look at the upcoming Tekken movie. No, better yet, a look at an actor in the movie wearing his movie costume! That's world champ martial arts fighter Cung Le as Marshall Law in his Marshal Law garb. The movie is being directed by Marked for Death director Dwight H. Little and stars former boy band singer Luke Goss as Steve Fox, Kill Bill's Chiaki Kuriyama as Ling Xiaoyu and some other people as other characters. More »

    Tekken 6 Not Coming to American Arcades

    Right now, the arcade version of Tekken 6 is in loads of places, like NOT AMERICA and NOT AMERICA. Apparently, it's going to stay that way! While the game is most certainly coming to American consoles, it seems that it will not be coming to American arcades. Nothing has been officially announced, but Tekken site SD Tekken points out various reasons why the game won't be coming to American arcades, including the fact that Namco USA no longer has an arcade division and that the US arcade scene is pretty much, well, dead. Still, the cabinets are being imported. So far, Tekken 6 is playable at an arcade in Houston. Americans willing to mingle with Canadians will be happy to find the game in arcades north of the border.

    Former Boy Band Member in Tekken Movie

    That long-in-development-hell Tekken lugs closers to the big screen. The movie version has been kicked around Hollywood since 2002 with Sony Pictures' Screen Gems now holding the distribution rights. Back in October, Variety reported that Free Willy 2 director Dwight Little (yeah, we know) would be helming the forthcoming project. Now, apparently it has at least one actor. On the official page of former boy band member Luke Goss, the admin posted that Goss would be taking on the role of Brit Tekken 4 fighter, Steve Fox. After his band Bros broke up, Goss (above, with twin brother) went on to appear in flicks like Blade II and Hellboy 2. Let's hope the producers can work fringe leather vests, acid washed jeans and keyboard playing into the flick. More »

    Tekken Movie Details Emerge

    First comes the movie poster, and then come the movie details. Movie news site IESB has gotten their hands on the audition slides from Tekken, and have poured over them distilling pertinent info for our reading enjoyment. Audition slides are key scenes from the movie used to see how role hopefuls react in those situations. We discover that Jin is a smuggler and junkie who is matched against Marshall Law in the tournament. Bryan Fury is being blackmailed by Kazuya, who at some point in the film locks up his dad, forcing Jin to try and save him. At some point the assembled fighters, listed as Marduk, Phoenix, Anna, Nina, Christie, Raven, Gorgo (Eddy!), Fury, Dragunov and Jin, stage an escape from the Mishima complex, which results in the death of a fighter. Who? No clue, and quite honestly this info could all change by the time the actual movie comes out, but an interesting read nonetheless. More »

    Itagaki Scoffs at Heavenly Sword

    Beside booze and boob physics, Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki doesn't like much of anything! Tekken he hates so hard. And the upcoming PS3 title Heavenly Sword? Meh! The game features "Hero Sequences" in which players have to input particular commands to proceed through a Dragon's Liar-esque cinematic event.

    Itagaki - Tekken Sucks

    Normally when we have a quote to share with you from an industry personality we summarize their comment humorously in the title and then give you the actual wording in the main body of the post. Not so this time. Joystiq caught up to Dead or Alive creator and paragon of coolness Tomonobu Itagaki at the recent Championship Gaming Series North American World Series Final, where they asked him if he was looking forward to Tekken 6.
    Tekken sucks. I don't know what you're talking about.
    The black leather jacket and sunglasses aren't just for show. Itagaki is a bad ass rebel. You'd never hear Yuji Naka say, "Yo, fuck Mario," even though I would personally give him $100 just to get it on tape. The rest of the interview is pretty tame, though he does hint at the possibility of a Wii title down the line.
    We're doing a lot of research, that's about all I can say right now. Although, to add on that note, my kids have been saying they want a game for the Wii. To tell you the truth, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, that's because my kids were asking for one of my titles to be on the DS.
    The Wii could certainly use a dose of Itagaki's trademark family friendly fare. More »

    Tekken 6 Stuffed Full of PS3 Arcade Horse Power

    Sony and Bandai Namco have teamed up to bring smoke-filled Japanese game centers Tekken 6. Hitting later this year, it will be the first arcade game to use the PS3's cell technology. Previously, the company used PlayStation 2 tech to develop arcade versions of its games, but has actually sold this tech to other companies. Bandai Namco hasn't yet decided what it will do with its PS3 arcade technology. Probably make a buncha Tekken games, that's what. Brian Ashcraft More »

    The Obligatory St. Patrick's Day Post

    I would be remiss if I didn't make some mention of St. Patrick's Day today as it is... you know... today. I was also feeling hard pressed to tie it in to video games somehow so Crecente didn't have me drawn and quartered. A quick search of the internets for Irish video game characters didn't turn up much save Oswald and Krizalid from King of Fighters, one of the Cooper Clan from Sly Cooper and sisters Nina and Anna Williams from the Tekken Series. So get out there, drink one of those green beers for olde Ireland and raise a toast to Oswald, Krizalid, Anna, Nina and the erstwhile Florian Eckhardt. Cheers! Flynn De Marco
