The game later became a launch title for the North American release of the PlayStation 2 in October 2000, as well as for the console's European debut in November of the same year. It also introduces a tag team mechanic which allows players to swap between two different characters during a fight. Tag Tournament is considered non-canonical to the franchise's overarching storyline and features nearly every playable character from the first three Tekken games. The fourth main installment in the Tekken series, this game uses the same PlayStation-based 'System 12' hardware that powers the arcade version of Tekken 3.
Tekken Tag Tournament (commonly shortened to 'Tekken Tag') is a 3D fighting game developed and originally released by Namco as an arcade title in 1999.
