NAMCO BANDAI Europe recently announced a new online premium service for their upcoming release of Tekken Tag Tournament 2. The World Tekken Federation will not only allow gamers to better connect with fellow players around the world, it will also provide complete statistical breakdowns of the entire Tekken roster that will better explain the weaknesses and strengths of each individual fighter.

Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing for NAMCO BANDAI Games America, had this to say regarding the new service:

World Tekken Federation is a premium service that aims to connect players to the Tekken worldwide community in a way never before seen with a fighting game. Being able to unite the entire Tekken global community is an incredibly exciting initiative that will help extend the competitive nature of the series well past Tekken Tag Tournament 2's launch date.To better understand what the World Tekken Federation is all about, here is a breakdown of the key components featured within the service, followed by a video.

Scout: The World Tekken Federation gives the vast Tekken community a centralized hub for all things Tekken. Participate in the forums to discuss character strategies, move sets and gain insightful knowledge from the community. Connect with Tekken players of all skill levels to join or create teams and track their personal or team stats against other teams as they make their way through the leaderboards. Team leaders will be able to recruit rising competitors in the community to create an all-star roster of players.

Train: The World Tekken Federation gives players access to a wealth of fighter stats to help improve their chances of defeating their foes in the King of Iron Fist arena. Players will be able to view and analyze their player card to gain insightful metrics pertaining to their entire battle history. Find out which character tag-team combinations work best, and which characters need more time with Tekken Tag Tournament 2’s robust training mode known as the Fight Lab. Players will also be able to extract valuable information about their opponents for the next time they meet in the ring.
.

In addition to the key components of the World Tekken Federation, you can also have a constant connection with the community, not only from home, but also from your tablet or smartphone. NAMCO BANDAI has not announced whether this service will be free or if there is an annual fee or a one-time fee. We will be sure to keep you posted for any information surrounding the new online service for Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

With even more news surrounding Tekken still on the plate for today and ready for fans to gobble up, there is a new intro video, as well as the second part to the intermediate tutorial video from Level Up Your Game. Take a look.





The World Tekken Federation will launch the same day as Tekken Tag Tournament 2's release in North America on September 11th and on September 14th in Europe.

If I actually get this game, and it's a one-time fee... seems like it could be fun.

Regardless... I'll probably wait for a few price drops before picking it up anyways. Tekken is pretty much the only fighter I can stomach.
But if the silence takes you, then I hope it takes me too.

Considering the amount of free DLC that Harada-san gives us I will happily buy a subscription (even if it's quite expensive) for that World Tekken Federation. Finally a fresh new idea of making a great Tekken community. Wonder if DOA5 will have this kind of thing? Also check this out:

Oh and good to see Lil and Asuka finally getting on together without trying to kill each other.

it'd have to be pretty effing good to stray away from zaibatsu.

On the other hand, World Tekken Federation? As long as it doesn't become the World Tekken Entertainment in the future, its okay..

Well for now its Federation so let's say it's like Tekkentude Era but then few years later they'll make Tekken for kids and it will become PG Tekken Era lol. I would love to see a logo for World Tekken Federation

(W)orld (T)ekken (F)ederation as for a short, WTF would be a good addition especially if this is their way of sayin' "better connectivity". I just hope they don't consider it as a online pass, which I highly believe that this would be the case

no no no - im tired of premium crap, if your a die hard fan and only play that title then yeah it might be good but im a well rounded gamer that plays lots of genres and titles and dont wont to have to deal with 8 premium subscriptions for every other game i put in just to get the best out of the game... I hate you so much COD for making this the norm nowadays

Then the World Transportation Foundation will sue to prevent the scratch logo of the World Tekken Federation from being allowed, thereby ushering a new era where you had to get the F out.

Somebody think of the poor buses!

clap

PG Tekken Era facepalm lol, Next thing you know, the motivation of one of the future new characters is "Ruthless Aggression"

These comments are more entertaining than this game will end up being. SMH.
Like one person said, I will wait for 1 or 2 price drops. I'll cop once it's $39.99 (guess that means i'll miss out on pre-order exclusive Snoop Dogg stage. :_( .. meh )or less. As for a premium subscription they can go kick rocks. Tekken is a straight button masher like the DOA series. I like both, but they are nowhere in the league of Virtua Fighter or Soul Calibur.

Companies are getting out of hand with these premium subscriptions as another way to milk the consumers. FAIL.
