Tekken was the first PlayStation game to sell over a million units. The Tekken games have been popular with the martial arts community due to moves of the fighters being close to the actual style of fighting.
Its success and popularity has spawned multiple sequels and spin-offs. Tekken was met with many positive reviews, and was a bestseller in the UK. The game was met with many positive reviews.Ī port of the arcade version of the game was included in the 2005 release of Tekken 5 on the playstation 2 along with Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 as part of the games "arcade history" mode and to commemorate the games tenth anniversary. It was then ported to the Sony PlayStation on Main Japan, Novemin Europe, and on Novemin North America. It was released in arcades on Decemin Japan, and on Decemin Europe and North America.
The console version of the game makes all sub-bosses and final boss unlockable while adding an alternate form for Kazuya (as an unlockable final boss). The arcade version of the game includes eight playable characters, eight unplayable sub-bosses, and one unplayable final boss, for a total of 17 fighters. If the time limit expires (usually 60 seconds), the player with the least health loses. The player can get a "perfect" if they win a round without suffering any damage, a "great" if they win a round with a health bar that had less then about 5% health left and double K.O.'s can also occur. Like most fighting games, there is a default setting of two rounds per match, and Tekken consists of the usual 1 on 1 combat found in fighting games, where you win after you deplete your opponents health bar. Whereas most fighting game control schemes have different buttons corresponding to the power of the attacks (such as strong kick or light punch), in Tekken, each button corresponds with a limb (square for left punch, circle for right kick, ect.). Tekken immediately sets itself apart from most other fighting games with its button scheme. 21 years later and Kazuya is an undefeated fighting champion, he hears about the existence of his father's tournament and considers this his opportunity to seek revenge. Kazuya's blood loss would have proven fatal had the Devil not shown up to offer him the chance to seek revenge on his father in exchange for his soul. Kazuya indeed survived the fall but it left a deep scar on his chest. When Kazuya was five years old Heihachi cast him from the top of a cliff, as he wanted to judge the power and determination of his son. One of them, Heihachi's own son Kazuya, is not drawn towards the enormous cash reward but is fueled by revenge. 8 of the finest competitors in the world arrive to take part in the tournament. He announces to the world the beginning of the first King of Iron Fist Tournament, with a prize reward of one billion dollars. Heihachi Mishima is the ruthless owner of the multi-national Mishima Zaibatsu company. A console port was released for the Sony PlayStation on March 1995 (in Japan) and November 1995 (worldwide). Tekken is a 3D fighting game developed and released by Namco for arcades (running the PS1-based Namco System 11 hardware) in December 1994.
