Tekken: Dark Resurrection HD Coming To PlayStation 3?

Whereas up until recently we only knew about a single Tekken game headed for the PS3 (that would be Tekken 6, naturally), there is now hope for another one of Capcom's fighting games playable on the PlayStation 3. And we're not talking about the Tekken 2 game released yesterday for the PSP (via the PlayStation Store). Although... come to think of it, we could also count that as soon-to-be-playable on the PS3. True, it's a PSone game. But early next year, Sony plans to update the PlayStation 3 firmware in order to emulate PS1 games as well, not just PS2 games as it currently does.

But getting back to the point, what interests us most right now is Capcom's recent portable game in the series, Tekken: Dark Resurrection. Citing a report from the Japanese magazine Famitsu, GameKult says that Namco Bandai is planning to release a "Full HD" port of Dark Resurrection, exclusively through the PlayStation Store. It will supposedly introduce several changes, such as more playable characters - including the demonic boss Jinpachi Mishima, while keeping the usual Arcade, Ghost Battle and Gallery game modes.

No price or release date have been announced for this supposed downloadable version for the PS3, but GameKult expects to have more detailed information in the days to come. Which means that so do we.

In the meantime, if you happen to have both a PS3 and a PSP, you can download the old Tekken 2 from the PS Store, for $5.99, and transfer it to your PSP via USB. Oh, and did we mention that Sony also plans to put up around 7,000 PSone titles on the PlayStation Store?
