Beating virtual people up. Some folk frown on it even in this time of global economic, dystopian apocalypse. Here at SPOnG we say, "Beating up virtual people is good! It keeps you off the streets, away from the booze, and probably stops you going to work at the bank!" With this in mind, we welcome the new screens for
Tekken 6.
We also welcome them because, well,
Tekken is a fond memory and - according to Atari - you get to "Master 40 unique fighters representing the world’s top martial arts styles! The character line-up includes 34 beloved characters, such as Jin, Heihachi and Kazuya, as well as 6 brand new characters with unique fighting styles and combo systems!"
Not only that but "over 33 MILLION UNITS SOLD WORLDWIDE" (for a franchise) in all caps must mean something very weighty indeed... surely... mustn't it? After all, this is what Capcom said about the
Resident Evil series
in 2007. It's also the figure that Canon told the world about in relation to the IXUS
in 2006. It was also the number of
The Bodyguard soundtrack sold at some point in history. So, it's got to be a pretty magic number, hasn't it?
Anyway, Namco Bandai has asked Atari to ask us to let you see these Xbox 360 screens from the game. You can see more at our
dedicated Tekken 6 page.
