The Arcade version gives me the glimpse of a what if Namco ported this game to the original PlayStation instead of the PlayStation 2.

[@2009lucho]

In fact i'd love they release an arcade EXACT port as a conmemorative. I preffer the Tekken 3 style graphics over those ugly waxed ps2 graphics

[@2009lucho]

@@sonomni arcade version is exactly how it was supposed to be, because at the beggining, Tekken Tag was gonna be an "update" for Tekken 3.

[@mukiex4413]

The one thing that hurt Tekken Tag was its System 12/Playstation roots. Not having more than 2 characters visible on-screen at once was really obvious compared to DOA2's tag mode. I'm glad its sequel, some 3 games and a platform upgrade later, didn't have its visual limitations.

[@2009lucho]

@Tcb bct again thats my main problem with the PS2 version... That it feels like completly different from Tekken 3, and i really love that Tekken 3 feeling, whats the problem with that?

[@japutaruko8052]

When Dreamcast and PS2 came out, it was the last nail in the coffin for Arcades. Arcades are still very strong at the 90s and early 2000s because you can't replicate the graphics perfectly on your home console so you must go to the Arcades for the premium experience. But Dreamcast changed it all. Missed the Arcades booming days but I'm also thankful that arcade perfect ports are now in my comfort of my home.

This is when Arcade Perfect died and games became better for home play. Right alongside SoulCaliber, it's the best arcade game to play at home.

[@slappingvegans7940]

Well, the namco system 12 arcade hardware was just a bit better than PS1 and is based on slightly upgraded 1995 hardware . PS2 was 5 years more advanced hardware. Soul Calibur Arcade was based on older hardware than Dreamcast. You are right about how the transition was around this time. It was really expensive for Arcade hardware to keep getting upgraded so plenty of games use older arcade hardware to offset the costs. Gradually the home consoles took over . Really sad actually as i miss the arcade scene

[@bebop306]

Eh, there were a couple games like Street Fighter Third Strike and Marvel vs Capcom where it had trouble to keep up. It was up until the PS3/360 era where we finally got the arcade perfect experience.

The PS2 version was necessary and is better. It's not an opinion at this point bro's. I first played the Arcade and enjoy the OST but the PS2 version was a proper update and deserves the respect it gets, if you want to be stuck in 1999 go ahead but the ratings don't lie.

[@azoz273]

You took the effort to match the CPU opponents in the split screen even though it's randomly generated. And also the stages were matching. The stage number was matching. That's impressive. It must have taken hundreds if not thousands of tries, or there must have been some sneaky way to go about it.

[@MONKEYDUDE2701]

Tbh i think the game takes into account what characters and which outfits you pick when calculating what enemies and stages you get, so i dont think he needed a lot of tries.

[@ashleyholroyd91]

This was that time around the early 2000s when home consoles surpassed arcade, Soul Caliber is another example of this and when the arcade perfect versions of Outrun 2 & House Of The Dead 3 landed on the xbox. The writing was on the wall for the arcades.

[@Katana2097]

That's true. Namco used beefed up Sony hardware for a lot of their arcade boards. In the 90s it was PS1 hardware and in the 2000s it was PS2 and then eventually PS3 (a lot of Tekken 6 and DeadStorm Pirates games I've worked with have suffered from what is essentially yellow-light-of-death after a good 10 years or thereabouts - so they are prone to the same issues). Tekken 4 and 5 use PS2 based arcade boards. In a similar case to Tekken Tag's transition from arcade to home - Time Crisis 4 used a similar board based on PS2 for the arcade, but then the game was released on PS3 for the home version hence why it looks more advanced. SEGA used the Xbox based Chihiro board for games like Ghost Squad, THOTD3 and OutRun2 hence why those latter two are essentially arcade perfect on the Xbox. In fact, you can even modify and beef up an OG Xbox to play Chihiro games like Virtua Cop 3. Even Namco used SEGA's Xbox based board for the first two Maximum Tune games. Then eventually everyone started using Windows or Linux OS computers for their games and arcades got mostly boring.

I don't think Tekken tag on the PS1 would've been possible because of the tag mechanic. Namco was rumored to be planning a Dreamcast port of the Tekken Tag but, slow sales of Soul Calibur in Japan nixed that. Instead the DC got Mr Driller. Oh well.

[@eakintunde84]

@King of Iron Fist Maybe with some programming trickery but, like you said it was more profitable and honestly better for the game itself, to come out for the PS2 instead.

[@razor1199]

A few notable differences either not mentioned or showcased. Despite identical framerates, the Arcade version's game speed is slightly faster, simply, it's just a faster game. Arcade version as typical for arcades is a coin muncher, there are two difficulty settings exclusive to this game not seen in any other Tekken on arcade or console, harder than Ultra Hard, they are Super Hard, and EX Super Hard. The AI tends to grab/throw much more often on Super Hard/EX Super Hard, lots more input reading, AI plays much more aggressively. Given the Arcade version runs slightly faster, the throw/grab spam can make the AI quite an annoying opponent. (Not sure how you unlock characters in Arcade version without using cheats, have already beaten it on Ultra Hard and Super Hard several times, but not EX Super Hard) Arcade, Unknown cannot be unlocked or selected on the character screen, she is unplayable without using cheats. PS2 features her as an unlockable and playable character through legit means. Moku-jin/Tetsu-jin, can be unlocked in both versions, can be selected on the character screen but in arcade the panels are hidden on the left and right sides of the bottom row of the character select screen. PS2 has dedicated panels when unlocked. Have not dug through move list/move properties thoroughly but one annoying difference, probably a glitch, for Michelle/Julia, on Arcade, 1+2 (Twin Arrow) can be blocked even when attacking opponent from behind and causes a block stagger animation instead of hitting/damaging.

There's no comparison here. The PS2's hardware was far more impressive than the arcade version of Tekken Tag. The arcade cab was essentially an overclocked PS1 with twice the video RAM.

@@oscarlopez9600 La revista Super Juegos decia que Dreamcast (off topic) era 2 veces mas rapida que una una placa Arcade System 12, pero yo pienso que la Dreamcast era mas potente todavia, ya que se decia que la placa Arcade System 12 era una PS1 con Overclock.

Alguien sabe como desblokear los personajes en el teken tag arcade

hi , you are only talking about the graphics , differences between ps2 and arcade , what about gameplay differences between ps2 and arcade ? health bar differences damage differences combos etc?

[@TheMidian46]

arcade is better and has less input lag, ps2 had "better graphics" you could say but it also redesigned models costumes maps so it's a mixed bag kinda, gameplay is slower and less accurate also, that's why there is no good port of ttt1

[@muhammetmucahitaydin4367]

@ I agree I always liked arcade , ports of arcade are bad for example ttt1 , mortal kombat 4 , house of the dead

how do you unlock the characters in your arcade machine?

[@NEWaYRTON]

Para los que dicen proeza técnica de la PS2 nada que ver ya que la placa Namco Sytem 12 esta basada en la PS1 (un poco mejor) y esa placa salio en el 97, mientras que la PS2 es del 2000, de hecho ese mismo año Namco lanzo la placa Namco System 246 la cual estaba basada en la PS2, supongo que fueron placas muy económicas.

I prefer the stages from the Arcade version. Despite the weaker hardware, they look more serious, more gritty.

Am I the only one who's CC's aren't showing up?

Unknown stage is remind me of inferno stage in soul calibur (darker, instead fire / flame)

Arcade was brighter and sharper, looks better for me.

[@senorsnipey1595]

No way Arcade has PS1 like graphics while namco utilized the power of the ps2 to make Tekken tag look look like a generational leap over what its arcade cabinets could acheive

[@wordsshackles441]

I agree with doxxu. The colors and image quality of the Ps2 version is a significant downgrade. Ps2 was a mistake.@@senorsnipey1595

PS2 dá um verdadeiro show. Foi a partir de qual Tekken que a Namco voltou a ter gráficos idênticos a atual geração?

[@tadeuferreira4059]

Tekken 4 mesmo, pode reparar que é o arcade cuspido e escarrado, LOL...

The PS2 version is a visual splendor. But really wish they gave the option to play the original PS1 soundtrack.

Porque la version arcade es un kit de actualizacion del tekken 3

[@davidwhatsthatabout7404]

I don’t get why tekken tag didn’t release for PS1 if it had the same engine as tekken 3

[@LeonPajuelo]

Cause PSone cannot manage four characters at the same time.

[@wizzgamer]

Likely due to ram as it wouldn't have been able to hold 4 characters at once they would have had to have a long pause as the other characters where loaded into ram like with the Shangsung battles on Mortal Kombat.

[@rommerortega4779]

La versión de ps2 es mejor que la de arcade gráficamente hablando pero la versión arcade tiene mejor jugabilidad y es más rápida

[@dihogo.gamers]

correct

[@michaeldunlap1032]

Imagine playing the arcade version where you can barely hear shit, since the music is for some reason WAY TOO loud.. Honestly, I'd say both are good. (Just wish the music on the arcade was more quieter so I can hear the characters voices and sound effects better.)

[@hellbehemoth1235]

Tekken tag T. PS2 NTSC 60 FPS ?

They should have just included with the ps2 release.

[@TownsRelaibleBronxstenian]

Say what you will about the arcade ost, but one thing that was better in the arcade was Jin's stage music. It sounded more Jin-like you know what I'm saying?

Oh MAN! I've waited forever for somebody to compare this. I've told many a person that the PS2 version kicks the Arcade versions ass,but nobody i told believed me,tho.

Nothing surprising, System 12 is just a PS1 on steroids

[@somebody2978]

It is very obvious that the Arcade version was going to be a port for PSX, probably canceled for marketing reasons and hence the remake for PS2.

[@rupindersandhu9744]

It would be not possible for ps1 because of four players

[@somebody2978]

​@@rupindersandhu9744 - But could replace the 3D stages by 2D stages to save polygon rendering, as was done in Tekken 3 for PSX. Also, if you look closely at the Arcade versions, the Tekken Tag Tournament characters use less polygons than Tekken 3. And in the worst case, could also limit the game to 30fps.

[@rupindersandhu9744]

@@somebody2978 as you know the arcade version was released in 1999 and i think they were planning to release a dreamcast port because namco port soul calibur to dreamcast too and there would have been a possibility of porting it to the dreamcast it would have been also nice too see it getting released for the ps1 and dreamcast
