NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Namco released Tekken 6 in Japanese arcades about 2 years ago and we recall the debate we had on whether or not we'd import a complete operator setup. Back then, the market was starting to look weak and we eventually decided against the nearly $40,000 cost of importing the whole shebang. We did play the game at a local NYC arcade but it wasn't the same. Namely, we had to stand in line and insert coins by the handful.
When October 2009 rolls around, we'll finally get our chance to completely own Tekken 6 for under $100. Compared to the cost of $40,000, we think we're getting a sweetheart deal. Please note the USA version of Tekken 6 will be released 2 days before the Japanese version.
In addition to the regular edition of the game, Namco will also release a Tekken 6 Collector's Box in Japan which is bundled with a wireless joystick that features a Tekken 6 theme. The preorder solicitation doesn't mention what the joystick is based on but the button arrangement and joystick placement is the same as the Real Arcade Pro 3. In addition to the game and joystick, Namco's also throwing in a 96-page hardcover Tekken 6 art book which is brimming with character illustrations, Tekken scenes, and other Iron Fist eye candy.
Preorders for the regular edition of Tekken 6 and the Collector's Box edition are welcome to ship on October 29, 2009 at JPY7980 (US$83.90) and JPY16,980 (US$239.90) from NCS.
