Arcade Archives 2 TEKKEN on Switch 2: A Faithful But Incomplete Revival of the 1994 Original
Hamster's Arcade Archives 2 release brings the original 1994 arcade Tekken to Switch 2 with modernized menus, new modes, and online leaderboards. However, it lacks several unlockable characters from the console versions, sticking closely to its arcade roots. This marks Tekken's return to a Nintendo console after 14 years, though Bandai Namco has not released a new entry or port for Switch 1 or 2.
Key quotes
It's been 14 years since Tekken last showed up on a Nintendo console.
In sticking to its arcade roots, however, we miss out on several unlockable characters, meaning this might have been more suited to Hamster's Console Archives lineup.
Bandai Namco has yet to grace the Switch 1 or 2 with a new entry or port.
