Speaking to Pocket Gamer, an anonymous Namco Networks representative claimed that the company’s flagship one-on-one fighting game series Tekken is on its way to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The franchise’s latest sequel, Tekken 6, hit consoles late last year after a successful run in arcades. Like its predecessors, Tekken 6 brings together dozens of bizarre fighters — including pandas, kangaroos, and necktie-wearing furry pro wrestlers — for the brutal “King of Iron Fist” tournament.

There’s also this one guy who got dropped into a volcano, but survived, then was killed again, but remains in the game as a playable character. He wears a giant diaper now, for some reason. Anyway, the story’s not the point.

Namco’s representative revealed no further details regarding Tekken for the iPhone, leaving room for speculation. Will it be a port of the PSP version of Tekken 6? Will it be an upgraded version of the recently released Tekken Mobile? Or will it be an all-new game? Whatever it is, it should offer some solid competition for Capcom’s upcoming iPhone version of Street Fighter IV.

Namco Networks’ latest App Store release is a vast departure from the retro remakes that comprise the majority of its catalog. Garters & Ghouls ($4.99) is a horror-themed twin-stick shooter that arrives in the App Store just in time for Halloween.

As the “not-too-dead” Marie Dupois, players are tasked with battling an army of undead creatures over the course of 25 levels. Each level includes several monster-generating portals that must be destroyed to proceed.

Garters & Ghouls features a variety of upgradable weapons, downloadable content, and Facebook integration for achievement sharing.
