Tekken 6 on PSP will have everything the console versions have, according to Namco Bandai public relations manager, Arne Cual-Pedroso.

“Pretty much everything in the console version will be in the PSP,” the rep told Siliconera, and that includes all the downloadable content.

No mention of just how much DLC gamers can expect was mentioned, but if Namco’s past is any indication, expect loads.

Thanks, Joystiq.

Namco Bandai and Penny Arcade are teaming up to bring you a new webcomic based on Tekken 6.

The limited series is a six-parter focusing on the mysterious past of Roger who was created using Kangaroo DNA.

At least we assume it’s Roger because that’s how his creation was explained in Tekken 2. Who knows where the guys at Penny Arcade will take this.

Game’s out October 27 in the US for PS3 and Xbxox 360.

Full press release after the break.

Holy Frijoles Batman! Namco has released 150 images of Tekken 6, and CVG has ‘em posted.

Shots include character renders, the console version, and some promo shots of the lovely £149 arcade stick.

Hit the link for sensory overload.

Also, remember gals. Nothing says “I love you” like handing a fella your head.

Unlockable characters in fighting games are sooo yesterday, according to Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada.

During a Namco Bandai event this week, Harada stated that originally unlockables were created to extend the life of coin-operated arcade machines.

“Why we locked the characters originally was that in the arcades, it was kind of to extend the life of the game by gradually unlocking characters,” Harada told Videogamer. “Also with the home versions as well, because you can rent games or whatever, it was to protect us against that.

“That’s kind of outdated now though, especially with online play. If we were to have locked characters it would irritate a lot of people, to be playing against others online and to not have all the characters available.

“So I think it’s no longer useful.”

Tekken 6 will feature 40 fighters available right from the start when it releases October 27.

No one ever said becoming King of the Iron Fist would be easy. On top of parting with copious amounts of blood, sweat, and tears, Namco Bandai’s now asking fans to bid farewell to £150.

For that price, you’ll nab a copy of Tekken 6, an art book, and a Hori Tekken arcade stick. And not just any Hori Tekken arcade stick, either — according to Namco Bandai, this thing’s “the best peripheral for any console.” Your hill of colorful plastic objects has a new king.

Or, if sleeping on park benches isn’t really your thing, there’s also the £70 collector’s edition. It comes with a copy of Tekken 6 and a hoodie designed by the game’s art team. Not quite an arcade stick, sure, but it’s still probably the best hoodie designed by Tekken 6′s art team. Probably.

So, which Tekken 6 SKU are you buying?

Thanks, CVG.

It’s Tekken Monday, clearly. The US PS Blog just put up an interview with director Katsuhiro Harada, showing off the game’s new Campaign mode in unforgiving detail. Watch it after the break.

We’re saying nothing. Other than “this doesn’t look very good”.

The rest of it will be, though. It’s out October 27 in the US.

Namco’s dated Tekken 6 as an October 27 release in North America, according to this Gamespot story.

Versions for Europe, Japan, and the rest of Asia are to follow in “close proximity”.

The fighter’s also to have pre-order incentives, for the US at least.

A Tekken 6 Wireless Fight Stick Bundle is to be available for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 at participating retailers for $150.

The bundle includes a Hori wireless fight stick, as well as a Tekken 6-themed art book.

More detail through there.

It’s out for 360 and PS3 this autumn.

Namco’s released the Tekken 6 E3 trailer, and it looks pretty much like Tekken 6.

In Joon Wang, brand manager for the Tekken franchise, has told Xbox Live’s Major Nelson that Tekken 6 will have “ground-breaking online modes.”

Unfortunately, all he could reveal at this time was the global online versus mode, but promised more will be revealed at E3 next week.

Tekken 6 will is set for a Q4 release on PS3 and for the first time ever on Xbox 360.

Other than predicting PS3 and Wii price cuts, Gamestop CEO Dan DeMatteo has stated we can expect Assassin’s Creed 2 to land on shelves during November.

Speaking during the same earnings call, he stated that BioShock 2 and Tekken 6 would arrive in October, while Assassin’s Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2 are expected in November along with “a couple of Nintendo titles coming that have not been announced.”

“So, it looks like actually a very, very strong fall and holiday season,” he said.

Here’s hoping he’s right.

More over at Eurogamer.

Tekken 6 executive producer Katsuhiro Harada told US journalists this week that Tekken 6 is to have “console-specific content.”

There’s no detail on what the extra stuff is as yet. Call us mental, but we’re going to go for new characters and new stages.

It’s out this autumn for PS3 and 360. Thanks, Siliconera.

Namco has confirmed to IGN that Tekken 6 will hit the PSP this autumn.

The game is to be released alongside the PS3 and Xbox 360 version and includes additional stages, content, items, and multiplayer featuring both original and fan favorite characters and a “Ghost” Infrastructure mode. This mode allows players to upload their character data and compare it with data complied by others.

“With a growing roster of fighters, each equipped with their own deadly techniques, martial art moves, and attack combinations, Tekken 6 will be the best ‘King of Iron Fist Tournament’ yet,” said a Manco rep.

“Adding to the already rich gaming experience, a deeper character customization feature will only enhance the incredible fighting intensity as players go mano-y-mano.”

Sounds lovely.

Namco put out a new trailer of Tekken 6 this morning as part of the Microsoft Japan spring showcase, and very rocking it is too.

Power is everything. It says so there.

It’s out for PS3 and 360 this Autumn. Thanks, Kotaku.
