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.


Tekken Coming for iPhone and iPod Touch!

Putting an end to past/previous speculation, PocketGamer.co.uk confirmed today that Tekken is coming to the iPhone and iPod touch, stating a source close to Namco, speaking to them anonymously, told them the game is far along in development and looking good.

tekken_1_game_coverTo paraphrase, “The game is being finished up and it plays rather nicely.”

They’re not sure if this iPhone version was developed “from scratch” or if it’s a “touch-enabled port of Tekken 6 as developed for PSP.” They believe the latter seems more likely, which they believe is wise, given how well-crafted the PSP version is.

Multiplayer has not been confirmed, but hey expect head-to-head bouts to be of the local variety.

With competitor Capcom having just announced Street Fighter IV for iPhone, Namco’s move with Tekken is a logical one.

Although it was previously reported that both games would be shown at next week’s Game Developers Conference (GDC), PocketGamer.co.uk has since confirmed Tekken won’t be shown during the GDC.

“We are NOT showing anything at GDC with regards to Tekken. We will be previewing new stuff, but it will NOT involve the Tekken brand whatsoever.” Emphasis is theirs.

The company didn’t confirm or deny the game’s existence, just that it has no plans to show Tekken next week.
