Quick Look: Tekken 3D: Prime Edition

God, I hate everything Tekken.

Fun fact

The reason Heihachi looks younger is because man who had been his voice actor since Tekken 4 died. They wanted to almost "reboot" Heihachi as an homage

I thought it was because he was thrown into a volcano. Does wonders for the skin.

I love Tekken. I have a 3DS. This product should be for me but frankly it looks like shit. I hope Tag 2 turns out good.

Man, this seems poor.

I'm kind of impressed that Namco actually managed to fit a full Tekken game and the movie (regardless of quality) onto one tiny cartridge. The game itself looks good, except for the slow-as-molasses "Tekken underwater" online mode.

everyone else lose interest completely after the movie got skipped?

Yyeeep. Just coming off of the Asura's Wrath QL I was totally down for more JP craziness in movie form.

Never cared for Tekken either way though.

I think Jin's been more the "main" character throughout the series.

Is it me or does this iteration seem really slow?

@paulunga: Yeah. I thought so too. Isn't Kazuya supposed to be "the evil" brother?

Yup, this game wouldn't be complete without a good ol' fashion Japanese up-skirt.

Fighting a bear is another form of animal cruelty. I agree with riff tracks idea. Especially for the WU TANG feature on the site if ever comes back.

just once I would like the William's sisters to be Irish *sigh*

Vinny and Jeff doing riff tracks would be the best thing to happen to this site since Video Thing. :D

Just like Dynasty Warriors, this looks fucking stupid and I wonder why it even gets released in the US anymore.

Damn, I really just want to watch them watch this movie all the way through.

@ghostNPC: Yep, was really funny.

@DjCmeP: Kazuya's his dad, but sure.

@Solh0und: um.. tekken tag 2 and tekken x street fighter thats why...

Kazuja... really??? Sorry Jeff, Paul, Law, Yoshy-bad-boy and Jack (any) are the top dogs.

@SpikeSpiegel88: Kazuya pretty much is the Ryu of Tekken, brand wise he's the poster boy, well not really so much any more since Jin took up the mantle of most gelled hair.

Woah, woah, woah! Is that lady showing a side-boob of her exposed boobs in the video screen there?

"We heard someone fighting, so we called the Army!"

lol

Seriously though, that movie looks super entertaining in a stupid way. Or maybe it would just be super entertaining to watch the whole thing with Jeff and Vinny doing commentary.

I always saw Jin as the Ryu of Tekken but this game doesn't look half bad for a 3DS fighting game. But alas, if you are a fighting game fan I don't know why you wouldn't be picking up a Vita instead.

Anyone else find it weird that some of the animation is exactly the same game after game? You do a low kick and then the guy flips into the air and falls over, it happens three times in a row at 9:10. It always looked odd to me but after 6 numbered games and however many spinoffs? And of course the "Ow my back" thing.

@Chazzi27: I didn't even know Jin and Kazuya were different people, but then Tag Tournament was the only Tekken game I ever played and that was quite a while ago.

Not gonna happen I know but I would pay to see that entire movie with Jeff and Vinny commentary.

Paul looks uncannily like Akuma with a Bart Simpson high top fade...

Yep, was bummed out when they started playing the game.

In training, you think they might put the input list on the bottom screen.

What I really need is a proper version of Virtua Fighter for the portables xD

STORY IN VIDEO GAMES.
 
PS: Alisa still sucks.

You're kidding right? It's a fighting game. Tekken is a very popular game.

love tekken. Tekken 5 is one of my favourite games ever.

6 never grabbed me. I need to give it another go.

Well at least the movie looked like some silly fun. The actual game looks boring as hell tho! :(

This game has zero modes.

Watching the first part of this makes me wish the GB crew would do MST3K-style commentaries of video game movies.

Heihachi is the Ryu of Tekken.

Anna has always been the better sister.

Watching that movie with them joking around the whole time should be a feature. Holy shit.
