Tekken: The Mishima Legacy Collection is a fighting game compilation developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, in celebration of the 21st anniversary of the franchise. Released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox ONE, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
The collection includes seven mainline titles in the Tekken series of fighting games: Tekken (1994), Tekken 2 (1995; based on the Ver. ß update), Tekken 3 (1997), Tekken Tag Tournament (1999), Tekken 4 (2001), Tekken 5 (2004; based on the 5.0 release) and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (2005). Also included are online ranked and casual multiplayer via rollback netcode (powered by GGPO), leaderboards and a spectator mode, among several other extras.
Overview
Tekken: The Mishima Legacy Collection is a fighting game compilation which features seven mainline entries in the Tekken series. All games within the collection are based on their arcade counterparts, with none of the additional content from the latter console versions (e.g. no arranged music, no Doctor B. and Gon in Tekken 3, no Hon-Maru stage in Tekken 4, etc.). All time-released characters are unlocked from the beginning, for the sake of convenience.
Tekken, Tekken 2 Ver. ß, Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament all run via emulation (powered by MAME). Meanwhile, Tekken 4, Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection are direct ports based on source code from the original System 246/256 arcade releases. All games in the collection feature support for online multiplayer, with both ranked and casual play included, as well as rollback netcode via GGPO.
Tekken 2 Ver. ß was included in place of the initial release (also known as "Ver. A), as Ver. ß unlocks all characters from the start. Both the original arcade release of Tekken 5, and its later update, Dark Resurrection were added, but not Tekken 5.1, for unknown reasons. Additionally, the versions of Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection that were included have omitted data card support, and as a result, both ranking and character customization are inaccessible.
Extras
Beyond the 7 games bundled in, the collection also features a Gallery mode, which features a lot of additional stuff for casuals and hardcore fans alike.
- Developer interviews, concept arts and screenshots of early versions of Tekken.
- A comprehensive story recap, as well as a bible detailing the series' lore in-depth.
- A Jukebox mode that allows players to listen to music from each Tekken game.
