Video: New Tekken Tag Tournament 2 footage is silent, probably deadly
Tekken’s not a series that’s generally know for its subtlety – what with all its tiger-headed wrestlers and dinosaur people – but a new Tekken Tag Tournament 2 video released by series producer Katsuhiro Harada paints the series in a different light.

Even so, the game still manages to somehow look glorious – but that may just be our footage-starved eyes talking. They’re also telling us to kill. That’s normal, right? Check out the full thing after the break.
