Arcade version of Tekken 6 to use PS3’s Cell technology

The Tekken series, before it even appeared on our beloved consoles, started out on arcade machines almost 15 years ago. So it is only logical that Namco Bandai will also have an arcade version for Tekken 6, aside from the PlayStation 3 (PS3) exclusive version and probably the Xbox 360 one.

What’s amazing about the new video game’s arcade version is that it is actually the first arcade game that will be using Cell, the same chip that powers Sony‘s PS3. According to Namco Bandai spokesperson Miki Baba,

Tekken 6 will be available for amusement parks and other game arcade facilities worldwide, but the company has not decided on the exact launch date for that game or others that will follow, using Sony’s latest game technology.

In case you are not aware, Namco Bandai is quite famous for this as it also used the PlayStation 2 (PS2) technology for doing arcade versions of video games Ridge Racer and even monster munching yellow mouth, Pac-Man. It eventually sold the technology to another publisher. To this, Baba commented, “[Namco Bandai] is still undecided about whether to sell its PS3 cell-based technology.”
