New Tekken PSP details

By Ellie Gibson Published 27 March, 2006

All manner of modes and fighters.

Sony has announced more details of Tekken Dark Resurrection, the first PSP instalment in the hit beat-'em-up series.

It'll feature more than 30 customisable characters, including newcomers Dragunov and Lili, our old friend the Armor King and lots of other familiar faces. You can spend the money you earn from fights on new stuff for your character - apparently there are twice as many items to choose from than there were in Tekken 5.

Game modes will include Arcade Battle, which sees you fighting your way to fame and glory, and Quick Battle, which lets you take part in one-on-one or team battles against the CPU. Team Battle allows up to eight players compete in a knockout tournament.

Story Battle lets you find out all about your character's history, while Tekken Dojo sees you fighting for the title of Tekken Lord as you battle in a series of Dojos based on a private island owned by Mishima Zaibatsu.

Then there's Ad Hoc Mode, for wireless battles against real life opponents, and three attack modes - Time Attack, Survival and Gold Rush. And finally, there's the obligatory Practice mode, complete with tutorials, freestyle training and command training.

Tekken Dark Resurrection is out later this year.

    Not played Tekken since the third iteration but am looking forward to playing this.

    Tekken on the go and with Ad-hoc wireless mode sounds pretty sweet.

    No Devil Within type mini game on this one then? That was quite fun on the PS2 version. Ah well, still sounds nice enough.

  • SeesThroughAll #3 6 years ago

    Sounds tasty. Hopefully, this will be the best handheld fighting game in years to come.

    Wireless multiplayer requires two disks, doesn't it?

    You take the piss Tengu?

    Devil Within mode was S-H-I-T-E. Good riddance to it...

  • tengu #7 6 years ago

    Wasn't THAT bad Kami. It was pretty bland and repetitive, sure, but it was still a rather fresh way of unlocking stuff in the main game I thought, and it was diverting for a couple of hours or so. Though tbh, the 'Tekken Force' mode from Tekken 3 is probably a lot better of an example of how to do a mode like this if you really have to.

    Yeah, I agree. Tekken Force from Tekken 3 was so damn entertaining its almost criminal... good, classic side-scrolling style. The problem with Devil Within was that it tried to be far too many things at once, and wasn't very strong at any of them...

    Bring back Tekken Force. Side-scrolling is the new... umm... black... or something...
