“Tekken” iPhone port coming soon, says Namco source

“Tekken” iPhone port coming soon, says Namco source

After Street Fighter, Tekken’s one of the biggest fighting game franchises around. It’s no surprise, then, that the iconic Namco brawler would be quick to follow Capcom’s Street Fighter IV as an iPhone-specific port.

There’s nothing official yet, but according to Pocket Gamer, an anonymous source has told them that iPhone and iPod Touch owners can expect the Iron Fist Tournament to come to their handhelds soon.

Of course, when “soon” is is still very much up in the air, although it is apparently in the final phases of development. Hopefully, Namco will figure out a less obtrusive control scheme for Tekken than the Street Fighter IV‘s fighter-obscuring overlays.

    You know the more I think about it the more I think these game titles would look by far better on the new Ipad. I hope the dev’s come out with Ipad specific versions for street fighter and tekken soon.
