Tekken 5 Ultimate Collection Review

Current Fighting Games Fighting Game Discussion

I came home, expecting just another boring day. It turns out Tekken 5 came in…

I enjoyed that moment so much I wanted to have sex with it.

Anyway, The stick that it came with is a a Hori Real Arcade Pro. Anyone who has the original will tell you that paying $100 for a game, the stick, and a collector’s box is one hell of a steal (considering the stick itself should cost $150). It’s legit folks: Namco loves their customers.

As for the game, it plays just like the arcade, but with small noticeable loading times. Nothing to be too concerned about though. Oh yeah, a cool thing about the game is that when it starts up, there is this 3D FPS flying game. I am not so sure what the game is, but I got into it and forgot that I was supposed to be playing Tekken 5.

God bless Namco.

Sorry for the short review. I’m still playing it as we speak.

Lucky!!!
Thats awesome. I wish I order mine online, went to the store to avoid getting it later. That backfired.

3

good stuff…i’ll be picking up my bundle on friday and ordering my magicbox adapter from play-asia in the next few minutes…

4

I should have a couple copies in the stock room today.

I’ll steal it and pay tomorrow if I have to.

Congrats platinum_pinoy!!

So it’s a Sanwa stick then?

Where did you order from?

6

I ordered from Gamestop (online, obviously). I have the original HRAP, and when comparing them, they are essentially the same (sanwa joystick, buttons, etc). The only difference is that there is no turbo features on it. It shouldn’t really matter, since its Tekken, you know?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

;_; :sad:

waits til friday
cries

questions:
are all the characters unlocked from the start on tekken 1-3?

8

how many buttons on the stick? mine is at home waiting for me, someone called to let me know since i’m at work.

hopefully there are 6 so i can play street fighter too.

9

are there any console exclusive characters yet? i guess its too soon for you to have unlocked enough characters for you to know that???

10

I believe the stick is 8 (exc. the start and select)

11

There are 8 buttons. Just like all the pictures you have seen. There is another difference though: The stick did not have a cover for the metal shaft. This might be different to people who are used to having the cover slip because it makes the shaft thicker, so the feel might be different.

(this is what I am talking about)

If you decide that you need the coverslip, go to himuragames.com.

Lucky bastard. I’m gonna hit EB up tommorow to see if they got it in early. Good to hear the stick(main reason I pre-ordered the bundle) is quality since alot of people were doubtful.

Yes, excluding there are 8 buttons on the stick. There is a nice big pic of it in the Hardware forums.

13

i haven’t even seen any pics of the stick i just bought it lol. but thanks, all i wanted to know. hopefully i won’t get tendonitus from this one.

14

Wait…so the bundle is in stores now? I’m at school btw.

15

There are 11 question mark boxes. The extra characters aren’t unlocked, so I guess it would be them. Actually, I am not sure how many extra characters are in the arcade, but I think its the same. If someone knows, post otherwise.

16

Yeah there are 10 TRC’s and 1 random box.

I can’t decide if I want this or a few of the Ghibli films that where released yesterday.

Daaaammnnn…

pics from case&box

Jinpachi is maybe playable in console and Arcade randombox looks very weird compare to question mark from console version.

18

So is everyone unlocked in Tekken1,2,and 3 when you load it up? And the Shooter game that you play Is Star Blade if I remember right.

Damn Game Crazy. They are still telling me Friday :mad:

19

Not sure. I bought it online, so I guess what happened is when Namco sent it, I got mine as an individual while stores have to get theirs in bulk???..dunno.

20

Tekken 1 characters arent unlocked, but Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 are.

Also, Tekken 3 is essentially the Playstation 1 port. Kinda sucks if you ask me cuz the sound effects are shitty. I am pretty sure that T1 and T2 are the arcade ROMS, but cant be too sure.
