A new Tekken for 3DS would probably be a card game

Namco Bandai put out one Tekken game on the 3DS, Tekken 3D: Prime Edition. This was a traditional Tekken experience. But if another entry in the series were to come to 3DS, it would probably be a card game.

Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada told French website Pockett:

“If we were to make a new Tekken game for Nintendo 3DS … We would do something else. A card game like Tekken Card Tournament is more likely. But, to date, there is no such plan.”
