Street Fighter IV producer wants to see Tekken in Home

by Majed Athab { Feb 11th 2009 at 3:16PM }

What business does Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono have in wanting to see Namco's flagship fighter Tekken and PlayStation social network service Home come together? Ono told Famitsu (via IGN) that he'd like to see a Tekken 6 tie-up with Home, suggesting that both the Street Fighter and Tekken communities could form some sort of cross-community tournament. A sort of Fight Club perhaps? Those guys at Capcom sure love those, don't they?

Speaking of Fight Clubs, Ono also revealed the possibility of a Street Fighter-themed game space. With Capcom already working on exclusive content for Home, this one is practically a given. Now, we just need to see if Namco wants to respond to Ono's invitation. Go ahead and press start Namco, we'll cue the "New Challenger" music.

Jin is such a cool looking character, I think I would have to buy his flame pants and hooded jacket.

i'd like to see that. i'd also like to see them add a place on the profile for pre trophy games like tekken5DR. maybe the could do it with saved game data. it's weird seeing people with no trophies in home

Exactly what I thought!!!

How bout they focus on better software to drive sales of their console before Sony goes the way of Sega?

j.howlett @ Feb 11th 2009 4:30PM

good job recognising that the sf4 producer works for capcom. never mind that the 360 and ps3 have alot of the same games

Rudolphe @ Feb 11th 2009 4:46PM

Sharing games across consoles doesn't specifically sell PS3's when you can just get a 360 and play the same games. I'm talking about Home as a whole, I mean are people really going to choose the ps3 over another system because of this feature?

j.howlett @ Feb 11th 2009 4:54PM

why choose the 360 version over ps3? i was mainly pointing out that you seem to be down on sony be cause of something someone else is doing. i don't see the same responses when a company releases a theme, free or paid, for the 360.

sunchris @ Feb 11th 2009 6:18PM

I thought they already have Tekken contents in Home in other region. http://www27.atwiki.jp/playstationhome/pages/26.html#109

Vincent @ Feb 12th 2009 6:40AM
