Namco's panda-puncher (now there's a PETA campaign waiting to happen) Tekken 3D Prime Edition will take on North America from 14th February 2012.
The 3D fighter arrives with CGI movie Tekken: Blood Vengeance intact, and another promise that it'll "make the most of the Wi-Fi functionality" of Nintendo 3DS. What does that even mean, Namco? Please be more precise with your wording in future.
TEKKEN 3D PRIME EDITIONTM TO RELEASE ON FEBRUARY 14, 2012
SAN JOSE, Calif., (December 21, 2011) – Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced TEKKEN 3D PRIME EDITION™ is releasing in North America on February 14, 2012 for the portable Nintendo 3DS™ system. The unique functionality of the 3D system takes the famous King of Iron Fist Tournament into the third-dimension for the first time, delivering a more immersive and dynamic TEKKEN® experience with more than 40 characters.
TEKKEN 3D PRIME EDITION will make the most of the Wi-Fi functionality of the Nintendo 3DS, delivering fast-paced dynamic battles with impressive graphics at 60fps. And with the Nintendo 3DS system’s StreetPass™ feature, nearby players can exchange collectable TEKKEN cards even when their systems are asleep.
“TEKKEN has a rich 16 year legacy, with the franchise first appearing on the Nintendo platforms in 2001 with TEKKEN ADVANCE™ for GAME BOY™ ADVANCE,” says Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing, NAMCO BANDAI Games America. “With the unique abilities of the Nintendo 3DS, we’re able to show the characters of the epic franchise in a way that has never been seen before, and fans are going to love how TEKKEN’s return to Nintendo systems has taken the series to new levels.”
As an industry first, the Game Card will also include the full-length CG animated feature film TEKKEN: Blood Vengeance™, produced by Digital Frontier (Resident Evil: Degeneration, Death Note, Appleseed) and directed by Youichi Mouri (opening movies for TEKKEN 5 and TEKKEN 6: Bloodline Rebellion).

awesome. i am so pre ordering this game.
I've always been a Hugh tekken fan but haven't played one in about 8 years. This will be a very good reason to start back up!
lol the release date on the side bar says december 14th
I had Tekken 6 for 360 and it was ok, but I might pick this up. I'd probably like it more on a handheld. However, I'm not getting this at launch, because Twisted Metal comes out the same day!
Thats good to know. Can't wait
Hopefully when they say it'll make the most of the WiFi functionality, they mean online play as well.
Looks like I will be getting my first Tekken game, haven't played one since Tekken Tag Tournament!
Love hurts!
This is gonna rock!
I can pick this and Tales on the same day. (15th)
Yay! Now to con my bf to buy it for Valentines day!
Awesome
Day one when it comes in Europe for me !
not long to go now-i'm excited!
