Tekken 3 sold 8.3 million copies during its initial release, making it the second best selling fighting game to this day.
The step up from Tekken 2 in terms of graphics and gameplay was huge, and the generous character roster, which both hardcore and casual fans could appreciate, is what helped this game cement itself as one of the best fighting games of all time. This is when the franchise began to soar into a whole new level of success. Then came 1997 with the release of Tekken 3. The game was a bestseller, receiving a ton of positive reviews, such as 9.2/10 from GameSpot, and a 93% rating at Game Rankings the game was bigger, better, faster, and stronger! Tekken 3 With polished graphics, fluid gameplay (for its time!), and new additions to the roster, including unlockable characters, the fans were definitely in for a treat. The release of Tekken 2 in 1996 (1995 in arcades) was greeted with even more success, both critically and commercially.
Many fighting game fans from back in the day would state how Tekken was the best fighting game out there. Both the characters and innovative combat system had essential elements of realism, which is what helped set the game apart from the rest think of the over-the-top Mortal Kombat fatalities, and Street Fighter projectiles. In fact, the original title was the first-ever PlayStation game to exceed one million units! An achievement of this nature was sure to send the game racing ahead of its competitors. Tekken debuted on the PlayStation in 1995, and this is when the game really began to gain momentum.
