Tekken Washes Away The Gray, But Don’t Touch The Hair, OK

Heihachi Mishima finds some jet-black locks in the men’s hair care section; but Tekken’s evil patriarch would kindly prefer that you not punch his hairdo. Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada sent this latest trailer for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 out over Twitter yesterday. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (TTTT?) will release sometime in 2011. New Tekken…

Street Fighter, Tekken Creators Duel And Hunt Each Other, Ridiculously

The creators of Street Fighter and Tekken have been squabbling in Germany. They’ve been battling (playfully, with pranks) over Twitter all week. Who won? Take a look. It starts innocently on Tuesday of this past week. Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada shows up at his hotel. He Tweets a photo: Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono is…

The Art of Blending Tekken With Street Fighter

One is a fighting game of joystick precision, the other of rhythmic button tapping: Finding a way to meld those two styles is perhaps Capcom’s greatest challenge with Street Fighter X Tekken. “Ultimately what we are heading for is a Street Fighter game, so everyone will have Street Fighter-esque moves,” said Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono.…

What Did Tekken Developers Think Of The Tekken Movie?

You hate the Tekken movie? You’re not alone. The guys that make Tekken hate it, too. “That Hollywood movie is terrible,” Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada tweeted. “We were not able to supervise that movie (It was cruel contract) I’m not interested in that mv.” The movie, which stars…some actors, has gotten a theatrical release in…

Pac-Man, Tekken Dev Turns Focus to “Casual” Market

Imagine playing popular fighter Tekken on Facebook or competing for a high score in Pac-Man against players on iPhones, computers and consoles.

It’s Kinda Like Tekken, But For Real

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Roger Huerta made his acting debut in the Tekken movie as the character Miguel Caballero Rojo.

Street Fighter Gets Its Face Punched Off By Tekken

Street Fighter and Tekken, together across two games. Sounds like a dream (or a nightmare!), but it’s real. So real, in fact, we’ve got ten more screens from the game to share. Capcom’s version of the game looks as you’d expect; like a Tekken-themed expansion pack for Street Fighter IV. If that’s something you feel…

Rumor: Namco vs Capcom, Capcom vs Namco In Development

Those aren’t two interpretations of the same piece of news; if Game Informer are to be believed, then two fighting games are currently in development, both pitting the stars of Namco against the stars of Capcom.

Are You Ready For Tekken 7?

Eurogamer Portugal, attending a press event in Spain earlier this week, reckon Namco Bandai’s Katsuhiro Harada revealed that his team is already at work on Tekken 7. While this seems like more a pre-E3 slip of the tongue than a genuine product reveal, it’s hardly the stuff of night terrors. A seventh Tekken game? Why…

Girls Or Tekken – Which Gets A Gamer’s Attention?

Certainly tamer than Russian strippers grinding on Counter Strike players.

She, on the other hand, concentrated on trying to look cute for the camera. They’ve got excellent concentration! So…

The Histories Of Fighting Games

Last week’s unveiling of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 came with an interesting walk-through by Capcom of their take on the history of fighting games. While Capcom’s Seth Killian allowed that one could argue that 1985’s Yie Ar Kung Fu was the proto-fighting game, providing a template to Street Fighter, it was his company’s Street Fighter…

Tekken Gets A Japanese Trailer

Hollywood’s take on The King of Iron Fist Tournament hits theaters next month in Japan. The Japanese trailer is a slightly different edit of the U.S. trailer, minus all the “mom” references.
