Kav Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 No way, I'd have thought we'd have had a thread for sure! I'll be picking this up! Love Tekken but I've hardly played it for years. Hopefully with it being on a Ninty platform will rekindle my love for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathjam Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Looks to be more 'fun' on the wii u compared to the ps360 which is more about beating your opponents into the ground if you understand my meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm so hyped for this game. Love this series, love the fact that this game seems to be the ultimate Tekken experience, complete with extra zany modes as well. I mean, Tekken Ball? What a blast from the past! I'm almost willing to buy a Wii U near launch for it. Almost. This is a bad time for me to do it.

Fight Lab has plenty of zany minigames, and that exists in the other versions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I hope you can play Tekken Bowling online! We could set up our very own N-E bowling league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnas Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I've watched this 4 times already and I still don't know what I just saw. 1. Extra costumes. Tekken allows you to customise your character's appearance, and the Wii U version brings Nintendo-themed clothes and accessories (so far, it seems each character gets a single costume, so it's likely we can't give the bears a Capt.Falcon helmet) 2. Yes, Tekken has bears, pandas, kangaroos and boxing velociraptors. No, this series doesn't take itself seriously. 3. Tekken Ball is an awesome mode that's like a mix between volleyball and dodgeball. You hit the ball with your moves, and the ball is launched with the proper intensity. If the opponent is hit, they lose equivalent life, so they must hit the ball back with proper timing (If the ball hits the ground on your side, you also lose health) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Alright, show of hands, who can't wait for the next Smash Bros. now? If anything, it puts me in the mood to slip Tekken 3 into the PS1 for some Tekken Ball Mode.. it has been a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
are1981 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 2. Yes, Tekken has bears, pandas, kangaroos and boxing velociraptors. No, this series doesn't take itself seriously. I have not played Tekken since playing the first game on PS when visiting a friend. I remember it to have only human characters, albeit with extremely exaggerated body size, strength, and with supernatural powers. Maybe I remember it wrong.

From what I understand, the bear (Kuma) already existed back then, but wasn't playable (I think). The first game sucked, at any rate. Anyway, here is some normal gameplay footage of the boxing animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The Nintendo mode looks incredibly fun and the original Tekken Tag was a very enjoyable game. How is the touch screen used here? If I get a Wii U this would be a game I'd be interested in. Mind you, I was always a Tekken Bowl rather than Tekken Ball kinda guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I was always a Tekken Bowl rather than Tekken Ball kinda guy.I think I remember them originally saying the screen might be used to give another player the chance to creates levels around the fighters and throw in power-ups etc... to dynamically change fights as they happen, or something like that. Not sure if that's still the case. Think it's also being used to customise and create costumes aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
