Tekken Mobile out now
Namco’s brawler makes its European mobile debut
Namco has announced that it has released Tekken Mobile in Europe, Australia/NZ, and Latin America. It represents the first time the popular one-on-one beat-‘em-up has appeared on mobile in these regions.
You’ll be able to take control of one of eight familiar characters from the series, as well as one bonus fighter, en route to confronting the all-powerful Jin.
One of the primary concerns when it comes to mobile beat-‘em-up conversions such as this is the implementation of the controls. On consoles and in the arcades these are complex, multi-button affairs requiring instinctive access - things your average mobile keypad tends to struggle with.
Tekken Mobile promises to answer this by offering three different control settings, which allows you to assign the right level of button complexity for your needs. We’re assured that you’ll be able to master those ten-hit combos in no time.
The final noteworthy feature Tekken Mobile boasts is Bluetooth multiplayer - an all-too-rare inclusion in modern Java games, and one that should be applauded.
“Tekken Mobile brings one of the all-time great fighting games to the mobile phone for the first time in Europe" says Barry O'Neill, President of Namco Bandai Networks Europe.
"It has fantastic replay value which will keep gamers entertained time and again, with a faithfully reproduced combo system, progressive difficulty and unlockable content adding to the long term value of the game. The Bluetooth versus mode means you can battle your friends directly and adds a whole new challenge to gamers.”
