Tekken 3

Tekken 3 (Japanese: 鉄拳3) is the third installment in the popular Tekken fighting game series. It was released in arcades in March 1997, and for the PlayStation in 1998. The original arcade version of the game was released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 as part of Tekken 5's Arcade History mode. Tekken 3 is still widely considered one of the greatest games of its genre, and of all time. With more than 8.5 million copies sold worldwide, Tekken 3 is the fifth best-selling PlayStation game of all time.

Tekken 3 was the first game released on Namco System 12 hardware (an improvement over the original two Tekken games, which used System 11). It was also the last installment of the series released for the PlayStation. A non-canon sequel was released in 1999 and 2000 in arcades and on the PlayStation 2 respectively, titled Tekken Tag Tournament, followed by the canon sequel, Tekken 4, in arcades and on the PlayStation 2 in 2001 and 2002, respectively.

Gameplay

Tekken 3 maintains the same core fighting system and concept as its predecessors, but brings many improvements, such as significantly more detailed graphics and animations, fifteen new characters added to the game's roster, more modern music, and faster and more fluid gameplay.
