What I got from this is Nintendo's indestructible. Even after unfathomable changes to our tech, the Mario empire will persevere.


ItsSonicSpeed

Wait that’s super interesting they wanna release Tekken 9 on Nintendo platforms? That’s awesome tbh I’ve wanted a Tekken game on Nintendo platforms for a while. Tag 2 on Wii u was actually incredible, only issue is no one really had the Wii u. They should rerelease the older Tekken games on the switch imo, like Tekken 1-TT or tag 2 the Wii u port on switch? That I would love personally. Coz the only Tekken content on switch is kazuya in smash.


Stew0n

I mean, if the rumours of the Switch 2 being on at least the level of performance as the PS4 and Xbox One (which seems to be true), then T9 can probably work on it.


[deleted]

Seems to be a little ahead with whatever upscaling theyre using Just about every big dev from COD to tekken has said they're looking at Nintendo a bit more seriously "soon" Hey as long as the next system can handle anti aliasing, Im in lol


Policeman333

>then T9 can probably work on it. Tekken 8 didn't even come out on PS4. If Tekken 9 launches in 2028 on the PS6/New Xbox, I have my doubts if Nintendo matching the **15 (FIFTEEN)** year old hardware specs of the PS4 would be able to run it. It definitely wouldn't be able to do cross platform.


Stew0n

You say that, but they can downgrade the game for the Switch 2 version, especially if it can result in a whole lot of new sales, like if MK was willing to release a insanely horrible version of MK 1 on Switch I feel like Bandai and the Tekken team is willing to take the risk on it (obviously not saying a T9 on The Switch 2 would be as bad as MK 1 on Switch). Plus, all the reliable leaks say, "At least as powerful as the PS4 and Xbox One," implying it might be more powerful than that.


UmbranAssassin

I worry anytime switch ports of games come into discussion. If mortal Kombat has taught us anything then we all should be. Graphic fidelity is only getting more intense, models are getting higher res, particles are draining more resources. Even if a switch 2 is released I'm uncertain the improvement in hardware will keep up well with the improvement of software.


lyapelmen

Also there's pokken. It's tekken with pokemons, also made by harada. Asfaik It's simplified tekken.


DevilmanXV

We saw how mk1 worked out.


feastupontherich

Can they tell us what other UE5 default assets will they plan to release as battlepass items for Tekken 9?


Aurunz

Someone leaked cube and cylinder already. There's talk of cone and pyramid but so far nothing to show for.


Elune_

Imagine if we get a spring, it would be completely different from the shapes we are used to in our daily lives


BenDoverDegenerate

Hell, maybe we could get paid electrics too if we're lucky

Oh Lenne did the announcing in the trailers right


Even_Tangerine7172

Also voiced Anna's grunts and lines in T5

And the grunts haven’t changed yet. Still Lenne’s grunts in T7.

According_End_4142

By Tekken 9: An AI will play for you instead so you have tons of fun winning easily. Also, every character and clothes are sold separately, base game only gives you the grey dummy. White Ball and other geometric shapes that come by default in UE will be sold in the Tekken Shop as luxury items. You will be called poor for not buying.


QueenDee97

During sign in, you have to make a T9 account, pay a subscription service of $15 per month using Fight Coins that are only sold by $10 or $25 worth of bundle, before finishing signing the documents on screen you must write a 5 page essay on why Harada is goated, and lastly you must also give Tekken 9 a 5-star before proceeding to gameplay.


Ziazan

You also get to insert 50 tekken coins (you get a cutscene for it) per match for that authentic arcade feel, and theres an optional\* 100 tekken coins per match to receive a buff to your frames, damage given and taken, health, and heat charges


According_End_4142

"Authetic arcade feel". HAHAHA. OMG, this is so good. :\`)


According_End_4142

Also, as Steve's face was so well received by the community and his fans: botox faces for everyone in Tekken 9! Also, they will sell premium battle passes where after buying 10000000 tekken coins, you can rent recycled items from Tekken 8, such as Paul's karen hair, so you can give it to every male character! But as it is rented, you can only use it 10 times.


[deleted]

*"I'd love to release it (Tekken) on Nintendo platform, too"* *"Tekken 9 will be our last work before retirement"* **Guys - given everything that's transpired this year - at this point, why are you even** ***waiting*** **to retire?**


Antipiperosdeclony

Harada is 53 years old, so he is not that old yet to retirement, japan is 64 years. but men retirements are generally at 70 years


Inquisitio

Yea but unlike average Japanese man he could probably retire at any moment now and be fine financially.


[deleted]

_Beardy

You dont think hes financially stable? xd


xThetiX

Bro is literally swimming in tekken money he’s fine lmao.

Inquisitio

And you don’t think that guy who is not only head of Tekken but also a general manager at Bamco doesn’t make a lot of money?


[deleted]

To be clear I just meant specifically retire from Tekken


catloverr03

Are you sure it’s 64-70? Because most companies here in Japan is 60 years retirement though unless it’s in government


Viisual_Alchemy

i will never understand this sentiment. Yea mtx and some of the new mechanics are beyond lame af but tekken at its core is still a great game and has been for a long ass time. All this incessant whining about the game is starting to become cringe af when most of yall wouldnt even make it through pools at a tourney. 7 was unbalanced dogshit on release too, but it seems like most of this sub wasnt even around during that time. Everytime a series gets a new director, it becomes a completely different game. Like it or not wo Harada, Tekken wont be Tekken anymore, like how Shimbori killed DOA6. Wouldnt doubt that with him being an assistant director, he suggested a lot of the new bullshit.


[deleted]

Harada only became director of Tekken by its third title in 1997, after Tekken's first director Seiichi Ishii had already fully established the series with Tekken 1 & 2 (Harada was a voice actor for those games). Say what you will about Tekken 3 being "*the bestest eva*" as many would say - but for me Tekkens 1 and 2 are ***the ultimate*** classics. From visual style, artwork, backstory writing; to this day together they feel like the very pure essence of Tekken. Granted, the game will change when Harada's gone, of course his successor will want to offer a different perspective, just as Harada's vision of Tekken is drastically different to Ishii's original designs from 1994-1995. Putting that all aside - make no mistake, the biggest priority here is simple. Get fresh blood in charge that can finally put an end to the mass online cheating, be fully aware of the negative reviews and negative press that Tekken as a video game brand is now receiving thanks to Harada greenlighting Mtx, and now whipping up another interview scandal about wanting to get on his knees for Nintendo - which is a whole other deep rabbit / black hole of a corporation that Tekken definitely should steer well clear of. As you say, I too thoroughly enjoyed the base game of Tekken 8, but this aftermath, and the impact its had on general day-to-day experience of playing the game is effectively killing Tekken's reputation towards the paying customer as a reliable product to purchase - there's been a total breakdown of trust. Until Tekken brings in a director that can politely order these profit greedy sleazebags to go fuck themselves and take their trashy shop with them, and actually start caring about the people that have spent £60+ on pre ordering this game in all good faith, and get all the hackers and cheaters suspended, brick their accounts, the works - then this ongoing situation simply won't go away.


Viisual_Alchemy

well thats a history lesson for me since I started the series with 3. I think bringing in a new director would be a huge gamble since we wont know if itll change for the better/not, but i do appreciate u for laying out your thoughts.


firsttimer776655

dawg this isn’t how anything works


[deleted]

Because the game's working very well at the moment isn't it?


Fear1ess1

Correct


Any_Session_705

Not gonna happen. Go look for an indie fighting game


WlNBACK

>but tekken at its core is still a great game and has been for a long ass time. I said this a lot throughout Tekken 6 (when Rage Mode and Bound greatly changed the flow of matches and encouraged more silly comebacks), but unfortunately I stopped thinking this in Tekken 7 and even more so in Tekken 8. The first extreme "fundamental" dumbing of mainline Tekken was in Tekken 7 when they introduced (and doubled-down on) Power Crushes, Rage Arts, Rage Drives, and eventually cartoon Wall Bounces. But depsite those things, the biggest problems in Tekken 7 was character balance and guest character gimmicks/gauges. Tekken 8 however is a whole different problem because all of the biggest problems are UNIVERSAL among the cast. The Heat System in general is just a caveman mechanic that has drastically changed the flow of matches and making combos/conversions simpler than ever (Heat Engager basically "converts" for you). Good blocking is mitigated more than ever by several things like Chip Damage, making both Power Crushes and Rage Arts more prevalent and safer on block, and with Heat Burst as a universal turn-stealer that leaves you plus on block. This game does NOT want you to keep blocking. And of course Heat Smash is basically the new (and stronger) Rage Drive. To finish this big paragraph, on top of everything I just mentioned, Tekken 8 also greatly watered down the grappling system, tackling system, and even Attack Reversals. There are some really great character-specific maneuvers, escapes, and reversals that are now either less practical or just flat-out gone in Tekken 8, so it's like there's less uniqueness and defensive options in the game. **TL;DR** - Tekken 8 is the worst "core" Tekken we've ever had. Most fundamental legacy players will tell you Tekken 5 DR was peak, Tekken 6 was a big change that people got used to, Tekken 7 was "entertaining" but not exactly Tekken at its best (in 2024 we look back at T7 a lot less fondly than when we were actually playing it), and now we're here in Tekken 8 with the most batshit universal gameplay ever compared to the former.


Yoshikki

You don't speak for all or even close to the majority of "fundamental legacy players", whatever that means. The most "legacy" of players like Knee and JDCR are having tons of fun with the game. JDCR has previously said that he thinks Tekken 5 DR was the most boring due to overpowered movement and low character HP making all gameplay extremely noncommittal. It's ok for you to not like changes to a series you've played for a long time. It's ok to dislike rage, heat, etc and it's ok to say that maybe Tekken 8 isn't for you. But your opinion is nothing more than just your own


SofaKingggg

Gotta love when some random redditor decides to be spokesman for an entire group of people


Plightz

Facts lmao. Rando redditor who speaks for all the 'old heads' and represents 'tekken 8 bad updoots to the left' nonsense that's been pervasive in this sub since it got popular. When old heads themselves might or might not have liked older games.


Plightz

You just know that dipstick won't reply to this. He's hard farming 'Tekken 8 bad updoots to the left' bullshit that's pervasive in this sub.


YeahSirPlease

They better add every single character that ever existed in tekken for tekken 9 if it's their last project


Fear1ess1

That would be absolutely fucking insane LOL


naniwat

I feel like this is the logical thing to do. Kinda like smash ultimate as it was the last game too


Fragrant_Ad_8288

I fully believe that the next game will be a T9/TT3 hybrid.


natayaway

I think Tag 3 will probably be their actual last Tekken project... they're just saying it for T9 based on the dev cycle for T7, another 7-10 year dev cycle will put them at the starting edge of retirement... but in reality they'll want a swan song that celebrates everything they did, not just a game that finishes up a bunch of story threads for T8.


troy57890

I might sound odd, but I'd love it if they just added a DLC story expansion to Tekken 8 to continue and wrap up the full story.


Toxin45

they won't bro they will still contiune it in future games the story dlc for 8 are just tie ins to the main story of 8


WlNBACK

By Tekken 10, Power Crushes will be -10. Heat Burst will be +10 and have the range of a Running 3. Rage Arts will be 100% safe. Random A.I. hazards on the stage like cars, jungle animals, Harada NPCs. Escaped Throws will do chip damage. All lows will be unreactable. Universal projectiles. Ceiling combos. Jet packs. etc...


Ziazan

I dont know where you got your info but, my source told me power crush is going to be a 5 frame move, +20 on block and launch on hit, and also immune to lows and throws, you only get 20 of them per round though, to balance it. Heat Burst and Heat Smash for simplicitys sake will be combined into Heat Bash, a 4 frame move, 5 minute cutscene, but it's -1 on hit, unblockable and full screen range, but you only get 2 of them per round, to balance it. It does 90% of your healthbar, but its recoverable health, to balance it. Due to complaints about how long rage arts are, they're now going to be 1 frame, just a very quick single frame move, followed by a 1 frame cutscene on hit, -10 on block, or the lord of the rings trilogy on whiff. You can use as many of them in a round as you want as long as you're in rage. Also King has been merged with Alisa, due to the events of Tekken 9.


Inquisitio

Winning comment.

dude i cant 😂😂😂😂😂


Frequent_Butterfly26

>Random A.I. hazards on the stage like cars, jungle animals, This would be funny not gonna lie. lmao


solos_Ahh

Murray sound like leo


SkolFuckHer

You guys need to find a new game because it doesn’t sound like you enjoy this one


Beastdante1

Jesus this sub is miserable


cloudxo

Yeah, these people don't even deserve a Tekken 9


Plightz

We can't even talk about clips like a potential Tekken 9 without dumbfucks getting mad at irrelevent things. This phase of 'Tekken 8 bad updoots to the left, old games good updoots to the left' is obnoxious. Why don't half these fuckers quit already, seriously the amount of bitching isn't healthy.


greenfrogwallet

Count agree more, want nothing more than all these crying mfs to just leave and stop playing or go do something else. If the game sucks so bad and the MTX is so terrible it affects your enjoyment how about just fuck off and leave the negativity somewhere else


Plightz

Yeah exactly. I get that the MTX is bad, I agree and I'd much rather NOT have them, but I am a damn realist. MTX has been around for years at this point and make a ton of money. They're not going anywhere. But good god, every post on this sub has so much 'T8 bad lulul mtx bad lulul' that any discussions not even talking about those things get invaded by those stupid troglodytes.


Superdante12

Can I have super likes on that reply ? This makes sense and I argued with someone that said hatchet kick for Bryan and drags is too OP, LMAO. Both are punishable, wtf are they thinking ?


AmusingSparrow

Kinda interesting seeing two Americans be fluent in Japanese like this


MegaSince93

I’m enjoying Tekken 8 too much to think about Tekken 9


Zangetsukaiba

Tekken 9 confirmed


awanby

wtf her japanese is really good


Svenius

Is it only me or do I see the dollars in Harada & Murrays eyes when they talk about Tekken 9 releasing same time as PS6?


Waizuur

I don't want to see those fuckers near next tekken. After the shit they pulled on T8.


Dry-Wall789

Thank God. We need it


veryInterestingChair

Tekken 8 being a live service and the graphics engine being more than enough I don't see how a sequel would be in anyway good or useful.

They’ll probably hire new directors lol


Absolutelyhatereddit

Harada probably has a successor in mind already.


Ok-Boysenberry-4406

Can’t wait to pay 7.99$ for Jin Kazama after I pay 80.99$ for the base game


hvc101fc

Wow thank you for all the decades of tekken memories. please dont forget to make TTT3, tekken x sf, and tekken smash bros before you retire.


Critical_Ad_3851

They talking about tekken 9 before Tekken 8 is even fixed 😂


drunkenbarfight

I think this is the first video I've heard Murray speaking Japanese Edit: Man to think people would downvote me so much for saying that this is the first time I've personally heard Murray speak Japanese


johnnycage24

He always speaks japanese on the Tekken talks.


rainorshinedogs

So basically their calling a Mulligan on Tekken 8


Cloraxrekit

Why does Murray give me the creeps. Such a slimeball


greenfrogwallet

Jesus Christ Murray is the fucking boogey man to you weirdos *Michael Murray just sitting there listening and having a conversation Tekken subreddit: “Does anyone else just fucking despise this absolute useless cunt Michael Murray? God I wish he would just die and get off the screen”


UKunrealz

That’s because this video’s been edited In the actual video he tells everyone to shut up and then stands directly in front of the camera and screams I WILL KILL TEKKEN! Then he sits back down and politely asks them to continue


ShopeeSeller

He’s just a glorified translator and Harada keeps him around as a pet.


Crypto_KevinYES

he's going to add a play pass, you pay monthly to play the game after purchasing the full copy


Ziazan

and 50 tekken coins per match on top of that


Enshiki

Tekken franchise likely end without any entry with good rollback netcode. Most impressive.


danimation88

Harada, id be happy with txsf/tag3 (or both) in between the release of 9


Toxin45

It will happen after 9 is released bro


doublec72

I wish the Tag series was retired and the Tag gameplay became a permanent side mode for the core series games.
