Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited – USA Arcade Release?

by Rip

ArcadeHeroes is reporting that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited will be at Amusement Expo 2012 and that this indicates that it will have a USA arcade release. The 3 day event will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada between March 14 and 16. Its hard to say if ArcadeHeroes is making an assumption or if their report is on good authority but I have yet to receive official confirmation one way or another. Having the location tests a few months ago and now having the game featured at a USA arcade expo seems like a good sign of things to come though. Will update this post if I hear anything new.

Qudans Playing Tekken Tag 2

by Rip

More videos of Qudans playing Tekken Tag 2 are coming out of Korea. For those of you who don’t know him, Qudans is a legendary Mishima player from Korea who was dominant during the Tekken 5 series. Rumor was that he had some kind of carpal tunnel injury from his 12 hour a day training sessions, but it appears he’s doing better okay enough to get some games in again! Not a bad win percentage either. More vids after the jump

PS Vita Street Fighter x Tekken – 12 Additional Characters

by Rip

Capcom announced that the PS Vita version of Street Fighter x Tekken will have 12 extra characters (in addition to the Vita exclusive Cole, Kuro, Toro, Pacman, and Megaman)! Six from the Street Fighter side and six from the Tekken side. For the Street Fighter side there is Guy, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Sakura and Blanka. For the Tekken side we have Alisa Bosconovitch, Bryan Fury, Christie Monteiro, Jack, Lars Alexandersson and Lei Wulong! The announcement also mentions that the game will have lots of DLC available so expect these characters to show up as DLC in the future. Can’t wait to see how they put Lei in the game and super psyched to see Bryan make the cut. The PS Vita version of the game is scheduled for release this fall. Also, they mention that there will be $500,000 for a series of tournaments to mark Street Fighter’s 25th anniversary!
