Katsuhiro Harada, a prominent figure in the Tekken series, has expressed skepticism about the demand for a classic Tekken collection. His perspective is that while there is a dedicated fan base for Tekken, the interest in a classic collection might not be significant enough to justify its development.
Key Points from Harada’s Perspective:
- Perceived Interest: While Tekken has a rich history and a substantial following, market analysis suggests that the interest in revisiting older titles is not as strong as some might assume.
- Focus on New Content: The focus on new installments like Tekken 7 shows the game developers’ priority towards innovation and engaging with newer gaming experiences within the franchise.
- Community Feedback: Although nostalgic fans appreciate older games, the broader gaming audience tends to lean towards new content.
Context:
The Tekken series has evolved significantly since its debut in arcades in 1994. Over the years, it has built a substantial following due to its deep combat mechanics and engaging storylines. However, as with many long-running franchises, balancing nostalgia with innovation is a constant challenge.
Do you believe that 2D games age better than 3D games?

Being entirely honest, I would be on board with any tekken game that didn’t do season passes and DLC. :) The classics were great, and the newer games are fun too, and I’d still be playing the new games if not for that.
That said, I’d love a modern tekken 3 - I’d even be fine with a reskin of 8 that had those characters looking like they did (why not, maybe some extra ones too), volleyball, force mode etc.
There’s interest from me if they don’t paywall stuff in what’s already an expensive game. :)

Its just crazy to me how studios make decisions that interest isn’t there when customers have been saying if DLCs and season passed were removed there would be a lot more people buying the product. I know I’m tired of the idea currently being pushed that we don’t own digital games. Like, I purchased it for the same amount I would have for the physical copy, get your greedy ass fingers off what I’ve already bought.
