The game is over for a player whenever the health meter of any one of their characters has been depleted entirely. When specific conditions are met, the life bar of an inactive character may flash, providing a momentary increase in the character’s power if they are tagged in at that time. Players are free to swap out their active combatants at any moment, and doing so will allow their deactivated character to slowly regain whatever health they may have lost due to the fight. In September of 2011, it was made available for play in arcades.ĭuring matches, as in the original Tekken Tag Tournament, each player chooses two different characters to compete with. Paul, Heihachi Mishima and Kuma (Paul's unique mini-boss) also went on to appear in less serious-looking forms as the Namco All-Stars' short-stop, second-baseman, and third-baseman, as did Nina and Anna (Nina's sister and her unique mini-boss in the game) as two of the Nikotama Gals' pitchers, in Super World Stadium '99 with several other older Namco characters.The Tekken fighting game series continues with Tekken Tag Tournament 2, the latest installment in the series. If the arcade operator has set the "NUMBER OF VS MODE WINS SHOWN BY" setting in the game's options menu to "FRUIT", several bonus items from Namco's earlier Pac-Man and Dig Dug series will appear in the bottom-left (or bottom-right, in the case of 2P) corner of the screen (along with Blinky, a Rally-X Special Flag, a Scared Ghost, and Pac-Man himself) when the players win battles in the two-player mode these symbols are also displayed on the "Ranking 2P Game Wins" table, shown during the game's attract sequence. The game was later converted to the Sony PlayStation system in Japan in March 1995 (later released in both the United States and European Union in November of that same year).

Both of the players must use an eight-directional joystick for taking control of two of eight fighters (Kazuya, Paul, King, Nina, Jack, Law, Michelle, and Yoshimitsu), with four buttons (two for left and right punches, and two for left and right kicks) - and once all seven of the other fighters have been defeated for the single-player mode, your fighter must face off against his (or her, in the case of Nina and Michelle) own unique mini-boss before a final battle with the host of the "Iron Fist Tournament" ("Tekken" is Japanese for "Iron Fist"), Heihachi Mishima. Tekken is a one-on-one fighting arcade game that was released by Namco on Decemit was the first game that ran on the company's then-new System 11 hardware (a PSX CPU running at 16.9344 MHz for the primary microprocessor, with a Mitsubishi M37710 sub-microprocessor running at 16.384 MHz and a C352 custom sound chip at the same frequency).
