In addition to various audiovisual and gameplay changes, the console version adds two new unlockable characters and game modes, including a beat-'em-up called 'Tekken Force' and the volleyball-inspired 'Tekken Ball'.
However, Heihachi plans to use Jin and the other tournament participants as bait to lure out an ancient immortal being known as Ogre, believing he can harness the creature's power to further strengthen his own organization.Ī console port of the arcade version was released exclusively for PlayStation in 1998.
Tekken 3's plot centers around new character Jin Kazama, the orphaned son of Kazuya and Jun Kazama who has been trained by Heihachi over the last four years to fight in 'The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3'. The game is set nineteen years after the events of Tekken 2, in which Heihachi Mishima defeated his own son Kazuya in the second 'King of Iron Fist' martial arts tournament in order to reclaim his position as head of the powerful Mishima Zaibatsu. It was originally made for Namco's own proprietary System 12 arcade hardware, an upgrade from their prior PS1-based System 11 boards. Tekken 3 is a 3D fighting game developed and released by Namco on March 20, 1997.
