Namco is bringing the popular Tekken franchise to the iPhone. It’s not confirmed whether it’s a port of the original game — released back in 1994 in arcades, then on the PlayStation — or the current Tekken 6.

This comes a few weeks after Capcom announced the release of Street Fighter IV for the iPhone, leading to an eventual fighter game showdown in the App Store. While both games on the iPhone is pretty awesome, I’m waiting to see how they will look and play on the iPad. I also wouldn’t mind seeing even more Namco titles on the iPhone – especially selections from the Tales RPG franchise.

Namco has a number of games in the store, including classics like Galaga, which was “remixed” for the iPhone, Burger Time Deluxe, which graced arcades way back in 1982!

Here’s hoping for old-school Tekken.
