OMG. Tekken Tag 2.

#1 Edited by Baillie (3490 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Is anyone as ecstatic as me? HOLY SHIT. TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2! The best fighting game is back. Woot.

Characters shown so far are: Kazuya, Jin, Asuka, Leo and briefly Heihachi.

Hype?

Dang, too many Tekken games coming out. Should I play this or Tekken x Street Fighter?

I'm trying to imagine a character select screen with pretty much every Tekken character ever, including the ones that only showed up in the first Tekken Tag Tournament. It is blowing my mind.

Like this?

Kazuya & Paul is my team. Maybe Jin can come join too. Hwoarang can be backup.

I wonder what the boss will be this time?

#10 Posted by ChickenPants (934 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Tekken Tag was the first PS2 game I ever bought and is one of my favourite games ever.

I'd personally love it if they brought back Unknown.

#12 Posted by MysteriousBob (6201 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Holy this, this has made my week. I always wanted this.

I pray this includes all characters from the series history. It would be insane, but dream match fighting games always are.

Same here.

Does this mean they'll be P-Jack, Jack, Jack-2, Gun Jack, Jack 5 and Jack 6? God, I hope so because that would be brilliantly stupid.

#13 Posted by Raymayne (1265 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Agreed with the incredibly greasy OP! Tekken Tag 2 ftw!

#14 Posted by HandsomeDead (11863 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

The first oen is probably the worst Tekken game so I'm not too interested in this.

#15 Posted by Baillie (3490 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

@HandsomeDead: Are you joking? It was clearly the best. Tekken 3 was awesome, then Tekken Tag built on it, made the graphics amazing and added a tag feature.

You're wrong. Very wrong.

Yeah, fuck the obscure OEN series!

Getting back on topic, Tekken Tag Tournament was, by far, the best Tekken game ever made. They took the best Tekken (3) and added an excellent tag feature and a shit load of more characters. I'd love to see the concept with the new characters (like Miguel who is now my personal favourite of the whole series).

#17 Posted by HandsomeDead (11863 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

@Baillie: Tekken 3 was awesome then Tekken Tag did nothing besides add the tag feature and have some stupid lady boss. It was a waste of time.

#18 Posted by Sooty (6697 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Tekken died after 3 for me, although I did enjoy tag I feel it's better suited as a 1v1 game.

#19 Posted by Diamond (8634 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Didn't Tekken 6 have like 85% of all the Tekken characters ever?

#20 Posted by TheFreeMan (2686 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Give me my Tekken bowling.

#21 Posted by The_Patriarch (262 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Awesome. TTT is probably my favorite Tekken game. I still play it regularly, unlike 4-5-6.

#22 Posted by agentboolen (1618 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

This is definitely great news!! I really enjoyed the Tekken Tag on the PS2. Lets hope they have good online multiplayer were you can have each person control a character 2vs2 or 3vs3. That would be really a lot of fun.

#23 Posted by Jack268 (3386 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

I remember Tekken Tag being the only Tekken (except 3) I really enjoyed. Hope this one will be good too even though I'll probably stick with Street Fighter.

#24 Posted by Baillie (3490 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

@HandsomeDead: I wholeheartedly disagree. Tekken Tag is the superior of the two. Adding all the old characters and having Kazuya and Devil tag together was one of the coolest things in the world. Also, bowling.

#25 Posted by RoboRobb (1033 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Yeah the original wasn't great, I'm not super excited about this one (or any tekken game after 6)

I'm fucking hyped, I've wanted a new Tekken Tag for so damn long. I was a little surprised I beat everyone to making the page for it here on Giant Bomb.

@JJOR64 said:

Get this and play it while you wait for Tekken x Street Fighter. This is coming out first.
Saying that though, this game isn't out until summer next year, and that's just the Japanese arcade release, so they're all a good while off yet.

I want a tag team of Devil Jin and Devil Kazuya, and Asuka and Jun.
Young Heihachi is interesting because it doesn't look like they've made Kazuya younger, so that would make him older than Heihachi... that's weird.

#29 Posted by Yummylee (18154 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

Fighting games really making one rough push to the front, these days. Mostly sequels, if not all, though, I've noticed.

#30 Posted by Humanoid (199 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

If there's no turkey bowling, then I'm not buying it.

#31 Posted by RedEyesBlueBunny (1005 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

super hyped. twice as many jacks since the first tekken tag, let's see who makes the cut

#32 Posted by wrathofconn (1453 posts) - 2 years, 8 months ago

@Abyssfull: New fighting IPs would not sell well these days, thus the sequels and crossovers.

I am very excite.

#33 Posted by AnotherDuder (151 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

@Newten: Young Heihachi?! WTF are you talking about?

#34 Posted by thegoldencat7 (1352 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

OOH!

#35 Posted by Cegoraph (148 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

I can't say I'm enthused by the new Tekken game. The series has gotten stale, and hasn't evolved after Tekken 3. Don't get me wrong, I immensely enjoyed the series from 2 to 5, but I'm worn out by Tekken. Hopefully, Tekken x Street Fighter will be a nice fresh change of pace for the series.

#36 Edited by dbz1995 (4784 posts) - 2 years, 7 months ago

This will be the first Tekken game I get since the first Tekken Tag Tournament.

Also, ending:

hasibd: gg!
Pessh: **** off

Yeah, it had most Tekken characters. But there's still some characters, like Jun and Kunimitsu who are in high demand to come back. I want them to come back too.
