Namco To Release Tekken 6 This October

Namco’s arcade fighter Tekken 6 is finally coming Stateside, and to celebrate the publisher has announced a slew of goodies accompanying its October 27 release.

Tekken is one of the best game i(James) have ever played, the Cardboard Tube Samurai, a recurring character from the gaming webcomic Penny Arcade, is joining the roster, with a couple of catches. First, it isn’t an all-new character, but rather an alternate costume for Tekken regular Yoshimitsu. Second, the perk comes only for customers who pre-order the game from GameStop.

The GameStop pre-order contains more bonuses, such as a calendar and something known as Samurai Battle Banners.

Fans who followed (or suffered from) the massive shortage of joysticks following the release of Capcom’s Street Fighter IV will be pleased to know that Namco is also releasing a $150 limited edition packing a Hori joystick. That edition will come with yet still another bonus, an art book.

Tekken 6 lands on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this October.

Keep your fingers tapping,

HappY SurfinG!!! (:
