IGN says today that...

Look closer...

"Namco's stateside counterpart has yet to reveal details on Tekken 5's US release."

BUT YOU AND EB HAVE IT SET FOR FEBRUARY 22ND AND THE DEVELOPER INTERVIEW ON GAMESPOT SAID IT'S COMING OUT IN NORTH AMERICA FIRST QUARTER!!

If you remember with Tekken 4, it came out in Japan in like March or April and then SEPTEMBER for here... that was like TOO LONG OF A WAIT and it killed the sales frankly!

Can somebody please clear this up... I don't want to have to wait past April... LET ALONE SEPTEMBER AGAIN!

Nobody knows. That 2/22 date's been around for ages now. I'm guessing it was always just one of those tentetive dates gamestop and EB use until they get the real one. I just can't see it coming out in America before Japan. Hopefully the translation won't take decades like in the past. I'll be importing anyway though.

God damn that actually really pisses me off...

I wonder if I should import...

How do I get imported games to work on my new PSTwo model?

Damn it!

The game will be priced at 6800 yen and will come with a special IC card for use in the arcade version.

Nice.
