Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced TEKKEN 3D PRIME EDITION is now available in North America for the Nintendo 3DS system. The unique functionality of the Nintendo 3DS 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 obtain TEKKEN Cards even when their systems are asleep.

TEKKEN 3D PRIME EDITION takes the hard-hitting and explosive fighting engine from the TEKKEN arcade and console games, and gives players the fiercest fights to ever land on a portable gaming system. Fight against a continuous stream of opponents with minimal health regeneration between rounds in Special Survival, beat up A.I. brawlers in Quick Battle, or show your supremacy against others either locally or Wi-Fi through Versus Battle. Choose from a huge roster of TEKKEN characters including Young Heihachi’s first appearance on a home console system.

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).
