Namco Bandai Games has announced the February 14, 2012 North American release date for Tekken 3D Prime Edition on the Nintendo 3DS. 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 experience with more than 40 characters. The game will make use of the system’s Wi-Fi to offer fast-paced battles at an impressive 60 frames per second.
“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.”
