Does anyone have any idea when Tekken Tag 2 will hit consoles ? I wonder how long Namco is gonna space that game away from TekkenCross SF?

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was out last September. Could have googled that like I just did.

It came out for Arcades, not consoles.

Given that TT2 is a complete game and now is just down to porting it over, I wouldn't say too long. I'm thinking Tekken X Street Fighter will still be on the back burner at present given it hasn't really had much work done to it yet

 

[nk4e]

Tekken Tag 2 deadline = December 2012

 

[Darren.]

Apparantly its going to based on Tekken UNLIMITED Tag Tournament 2 according to Wikipedia. I'd only take it with a pinch of salt, though Namco were nice enough to make T6 console the BR version.

Are you always mean to everyone I think the guy was talking about a port to the home systems sheesh

I'm somewhat expecting that especially given one of the features (namely the ability to do one-on-one matches) was in the first Tekken Tag Tournament.

He wasn't being mean. He was just making a point.

Speaking of Namco:

If you wanted Hardcore on KOF, try Super Battle Opera...that is Single elimination. I think that FGC isn't what it use to be or is at that crossroads again.

I have been to "Insert Coin" in Vegas and its actually pretty cool. You rent a game center though they have the bar area where its free to play. I saw Marn play another random guy in AE, though they have various retro games. Every 2d fighting plane will dumb down to okzieme...

 

[boomee]

no i didnt want hardcoreKof its interesting though I do believe KOF is the best Fighting game that has come out in recent memory ( other than Tekken 6)

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono Hospitalized.

I wish Ono-sama well and for a healthy recovery. 👍

Super Smash land on PC

 

[Darren.]

Is Unknown going to be playable in this version?

 

[RACECAR]

Is Unknown going to be playable in this version?

So far, no gameplay footage showing that yet.

 

[AOS-]

I would so play Super Smash Land.....for like 5 hours at most. I need a trigger button for smash games as I never use up to jump due to different aerial moves.
