Tekken Tag Tournament Series Later Introduced

The series later introduced combos and special moves, with characters also able to stage break arenas.

Tekken is noted as being one of the first fighting games at the time to use 3D animation.

As of 2017, it has nine additional entries, eight spin-off games, and has been adapted into three feature films and other media.

Tekken 2, as well as the third game Tekken 3, are considered landmark titles; they received critical acclaim for their gameplay and more immersive experience.

Subsequent titles have followed this concept, and received generally positive critical responses.

Following their release in arcades, home releases in the series have mainly been for consoles in the PlayStation line.

The PlayStation version features remixes of the stage themes, and also made the sub-bosses playable for a total of eighteen characters, including a costume swap for Kazuya (Devil Kazuya).

In addition, a cutscene is unlocked when the player finishes arcade mode with each of the original eight characters.

The canon ending of the game consists of Kazuya exacting revenge on his father Heihachi Mishima, beating him in the tournament and tossing him off the same cliff that he was thrown off by Heihachi.

The home version features four new modes that would become staples to the series, which were Survival, Team Battle, Time Attack, and Practice.

The game features remixes of the arcade versions characters themes, and a cutscene unlocked once the player completes the arcade mode.

The canon ending of this game consists of Heihachi surviving the fall, entering the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 and defeating Kazuya, throwing him into an erupting volcano and reclaiming the Mishima Zaibatsu.

During the events of the second King of Iron First Tournament, Kazuya and Jun Kazama were mysteriously drawn to one another and became intimate.

The home version includes a mode called Tekken Force, as well as the bonus Tekken Ball mode, and also includes remixes to the characters themes from the arcade version.

The canon ending of Tekken 3 consists of Paul Phoenix defeating Ogre, believing himself to be victorious, only to have Ogre transform into True Ogre.

Jin Kazama faces True Ogre and defeats him, avenging his mother.

With Ogre out of the way, Jins grandfather Heihachi shoots him, leaving him for dead.

However, Jin survives, being revived by the Devil Gene he inherited from his father.

Although the game is non-canonical to the storyline, it is considered a major entry to the franchise.

In contrast to previous titles, Tekken Tag Tournament features tag battles and includes almost all of the Tekken characters in the series up until that point in time, for a total of 34 characters.

The game ran on the same arcade board as Tekken 3, and thus saw major graphical upgrades when ported to the PlayStation 2.

The home version features remixes of the characters themes from the arcade version, and also features a bonus Tekken Bowl mode.

A remastered version of the game, Tekken Tag Tournament HD, is included in the 2011 collection Tekken Hybrid, 7 which also contained a playable demo of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and the film Tekken: Blood Vengeance.

Placing distinction on the story, the home version includes a new Story mode that unlocks cutscenes when played, in contrast to previous installments in which such cutscenes were unlocked from playing the Arcade Mode.
