3DS Critic Reviews

A perfect, smooth version of a great fighting game, and not much else.

Tekken on 3DS is a well done conversion, with a steady 60 fps framerate (also in 3D!) and the same gameplay from PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. There are just two single player modes, and controls are some kind of problematic, but for the fans with a 3DS it's a must buy.

A good-looking and solid take on Tekken 6 that packs in a ton of content. But single-player modes are unsatisfying and the fighting feels dated compared to Street Fighter 3D. [Feb 2012, p.90]

Terrific 3D and a massive roster can't make up for the disappointing single-player. [Apr 2012, p.89]

Tekken 3D Prime Edition definitely gets props for recreating the fast combat and fluidity of the series on a handheld. However, the lack of any real depth in the modes and lack of customization features for your fighters makes it tough to want to spend an extended amount of time with it.

Prime Edition is pure Tekken, fast and exciting, with 40 fighters and 765 3D Cards. For the first time there is a Tekken online mode in a portable console.

Tekken 3D Prime Edition it's perfect to play against your friends with wireless connection but it lacks about single player modes.

From a purely technical standpoint, Tekken 3D Prime Edition is awesome - the graphics and gameplay are top-notch. But the overall lack of compelling solo experience keeps me from recommending this game more highly. [March 2012, p.88]

If you are just looking for some tough online fights and like the Tekken characters, you can't go wrong. If you want a motivating singleplayer experience, however, consider a different beat'em up.

Not the best rival of games like Street Fighter IV 3D Edition or Dead Alive: Dimensions, but still a good exponent for the fighting genre in Nintendo 3DS.
