For new players and players looking for a bit of a refresher on the mechanics, there is the Fight Lab, a new way of looking at a tutorial. The game is still Tekken, and although there are more moves than ever, the characters will still move and responds as you would expect of the series. The switch is done easily with the touch of a button, and that move can be combined with either a throw or a punch attack to deal damage with both characters. The game will live up to its name and feature a tag mechanic that allows two characters per team, which will open up a huge amount of potential combo moves. We had the chance to go hands on with the newest game to sport the Tekken moniker, which will be released on PS3, Xbox 360, and in the arcade as well. All of the characters from Tekken 6 will be available, but the rest are a mystery. So far 41 characters have been announced, and several more are being kept under wraps for now. No exact date has been given other than September. The world’s best-selling fighting franchise returns this Fall with a new release in the series that continues the tag branch of the Tekken license.
