Tekken 6 Gameplay Video: Asuka vs Hwoarang
It’s inevitable that at least one game from the Tekken series will make it onto any list of the top 10 best fighting games of all-time. Speaking for myself, I really enjoyed Tekken 5 (also Dark Resurrection), largely because I thought the Raven character — who looks just like Blade, except slightly more ninja-fied — was totally bad-ass. As we anxiously await the arrival of the game’s successor, let’s have a look at the latest Tekken 6 gameplay video.
In the video above, you can check out the moves of Asuka as she takes on the Korean wonder known as Hwoarang. In terms of Tekken 6 gameplay, it looks to be pretty much what you’d expect from a Tekken game, so there really isn’t anything new in that department. You’ll still be punching and kicking as you strafe in 3D space. It’s a little hard to tell from this video, but the character models seem to have retained the same level of detail and lighting, but when you peek the background behind Asuka and Hwoarang, there seems to be quite a bit more detail than before, even if it is slightly blurry. You could say that it looks more realistic than before as well, maybe even prettier than Virtua Fighter 5.
Tekken 6 was released in Japanese arcades on November 26, 2007, but has yet to make an official debut on our side of the pond. They say that it is the first game to be released on Namco’s PlayStation 3-based arcade board. Plans currently call for a console release (PS3) sometime this year.

Official Screenshots: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
What, you thought that Capcom was done with Street Fighter II, just because the company has moved on to Street Fighter IV? In these later years, Capcom has no problem resurrecting a classic from the grave, revitalizing it with jazzed up graphics and the ability to challenge opponents over the Internet, all without having to place a quarter on the ledge to call “next.”
What you see here are three official screenshots from Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, scheduled for release on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 via the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Store, respectively. I think it looks pretty awesome with the updated graphics, especially the art found on the character selection screen. It is a bit of a shame that the flaming body is still the exact same model for everyone, regardless of who gets lit up by a big shoryuken. The three shots shown here are from the official Capcom blog, but you can find more screen captures over at Joystiq. Pay particular attention to the Guile sprite, because he’s got the USA flag backwards. WTF?
By the way, the tentative release date is still “2008.” They haven’t gotten any more specific than that.
