Tekken 5 Ultimate Collection Review

No, all 3 are arcade roms with test mode(config for Arcade).

It was already confirmed by Namco US.

The Arcade version of Tekken 1 had animated characters* on the select screen whilst the PS1 version didn’t. So you could probably find out that way.

(* = As far as I can remember)

I’ll take your word for it, but when I had Tekken 3 for the PS1, I distinctly remembered the differences were in sound effects. The port on the T5 disc has the same crappy sounds as the PS version.

The only thing that confirms it as an arcade port is the fact that “Free Play” is on the start up screen and there is no menu for options, vs., or practice.

Press select button for option aka Test Mode.

Man that kind of sucks about Tekken 1. It’s like they threw it on there and forgot to unlock it. Maybe I will hold on to my PS1 versions after all.

What about the music? The music would change every round in the arcade version of Tekken 3(like in third strike), but not the PSX version.

aww crap are the ? marks there even in arcade mode? I was disappointed by that

but the game is starblade
and im so glad that the stick doesnt have the shaft cover cuz i wanted it to be like the T5 arcade machine

Not sure. I keep on playing Tekken 5 :D.

so those question mark boxes are there in the arcade mode too? damn i was hoping they woulda left it like the arcade had it…

but I’m really happy the stick doesnt have a shaft cover, just like the T5 machine I’m used to.

god daym :sad: i need T5

I got some questions about this…

  1. Do you know if the T1-T3 games are also a available for the offers for Game Crazy stick bundle also? or is it only a GameStop/EB exclusive? or is it all in the same disc as the T5 disc or seperate disc?

  2. How is the “customize character data” thing on the PS2 version? by that I mean does it still offer the same features like that was offered in the Data Card? (customize name/clothes, buy items, Win/Lose record, rankings, etc… )

tonytony the Tekken 1-3 are part of the game, it isnt an exclusive offer. You’ll get them (on the same disc) whether you buy it now or 10 years from now.

^Cool, thanks for that info there.

Another quick thing… that silver case on the 2 pics there, is that the DVD case thing that supposely holds up all the Tekken games?

Are the BG’s in T3 full 3d or just scaling 2d images like the PS1 version?

You could only play the original 8 in the Tekken 1 arcade iirc, so it’s probably the arcade version.

Yeah, I when I saw “Ships in 24 hours”, I figured that the bundle would be shipping on Tuesday.

The regular edition is still Friday, though.

dumb question - is the box containing the tekken stick big enough to fit into a school bag? i have to take the bus to the store after school, and i’d rather just squeeze the box inside my bag instead of having to carry the EB bag around on the bus and while walking home as well…thanks

btw thanks for the pics

Thanks! Looks great.

From the pics you should be able to make an assumption. To me it seems 2.7 DVD cases wide and 1.5 DVD case tall.
