Tekken The Movie – summer 2011

The all-time great video game Tekken finally makes it to the big screen on July 26th in the US.

After 17 years, 10 games (including spin-offs), a DTV animated movie, Tekken: Blood Vengeance is to be screened in theatres throughout the U.S. in ‘in all up in your grill’ 3D, in a one-night only event. Following that, the movie will be made available as part of a special PS3 exclusive bundle which will include a Blu Ray of the movie as well as a copy of Tekken Tag Tournament HD.

Tekken, by Namco, is one of my favourite combat games of all time. The story in each game in the series (with the exception of the non-canon game Tekken Tag Tournament) documents the events of the fictional martial arts tournament, The King of Iron Fist Tournament, with the game’s chronological number corresponding with the current iteration of the tournament. “I am…Marshall” Law or Yoshimitsu if I am in a bad mood! I can’t wait to see this!
