This inspired Namco to make a sequel, Tekken 2, which released in 1995 in arcades and 1996 on PlayStation. The game was the first PlayStation game to ever surpass one million units sold, and was overall praised as being an impressive port, although some issues like the PAL release being less optimized than the other versions were raised. There are several other minor differences.

#Tekken 3 roster movie#
However, a full opening movie and endings for each character were added, as well as a full options menu. Character animations like in victory cutscenes or the character select screen were either downgraded or cut entirely. All boss characters are now made playable, bringing the total roster to 17 fighters. Difference from the arcade version include downgraded textures and sound effects, as well as the music being completely remade to work on the different soundboard. A port was made on the Sony PlayStation in 1995. The game was a critical and financial success in the arcades, enough to warrant a home console release. This concept was abandoned in favor of original locations in future installments.
#Tekken 3 roster series#
The game has 11 stages, which are unique among the series in that they are based on real world locations. The game featured 8 playable fighters, a non playable sub-boss for each character, and a non playable final boss. The first entry released in arcades in 1994 on the System 11 arcade board. The name was eventually changed to Tekken late in development. Other minor differences include more detailed textures and a higher frame rate. Tekken experimented with infinite stages that had no boundaries and a 4 button control scheme: left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg. Virtua Fighter used small stages with the "ring out" system of a fighter instantly losing if they step out of bounds and a 3 button control scheme: punch, kick, and defense. While this new game, called Rave War at the time, would be fundamentally similar to Ishii's previous work, there would be some fundamental differences. As the project slowly morphed into a fighting game, Seiichi Ishii, former designer for Virtua Fighter was brought on to direct the project. The team for this test later started playing with texture mapping, which the company had worked on with the 1993 arcade game Ridge Racer. The purpose of this test was to experiment with the animation of 3D character models, which was a new trend at the time. The earliest version of Tekken can be traced back to an internal test case at Namco in the early 1990s.

series' collection of characters, stages, and properties hailing from the long-running series of fighting games created and owned by Bandai Namco (formerly Namco). The Tekken universe ( 鉄拳, Iron Fist) refers to the Super Smash Bros.
