Tekken 7 Official Site Updated with System Info and Beginner's Guide

With Tekken 7 less then 24 hours away from being out in Japanese arcades, Bandai Namco has updated the official website for the game with new details and information on the game's systems as well as a Beginner's Guide PDF. They're all in Japanese but a lot of the information on the site is already quite well and the pictures are interesting to look at. You can look at the site update and PDF file here:

Tekken 7 Beginner's Guide ≫ http://www.tekken-official.jp/tk7ac/pdf/TEKKEN7_torikore.pdf

Something important to note is that the website says that this Feb 18 'Pre-Launch' version of Tekken 7 is Online Only. That means that, you can't play against an opponent in the same arcade via local play at all in this build. So when you go to sit down with Tekken 7, you can either play against the CPU offline or an opponent online. I believe this was made so because they want to use this release of the game to test the online across various arcades in Japan and to match newer players with same level opponents instead of the local better players they might run into. Local play, Training mode and bunch of other features will be implemented into the game later down the line. (Currently planned for March 'Full Launch.')

TEKKEN 7 Playable at the Japan Amusement Expo 2015

The Japan Amusement Expo event ran by the people behind the annual 'Arcade Operators Union' event in Japan is set to occur in Japan on the 14th of February which is the Saturday after this weekend. Bandai Namco have announced through the Japanese gaming press that they plan to have exhibits for both of their latest arcade works: TEKKEN 7 and POKKEN tournament. A thing to note about the event is that Namco sent in pictures of a new build that they're going to exhibit at the event so this may be the chance we've all been looking for to look at a new Tekken 7 build with Lucky Chloe and Shaheen which will be out in Japanese arcades on the 18th of February. If any news/media of any sort comes out of the event, we'll let you know. Thanks Famitsu for the news.
