Tekken goes Solo!?

"Well, in the PS2 game world the admittedly less musical Tekken gang are getting restless too (okay, they haven\'t split up yet). But until Tekken 5 gets released the fighting stars are confined to a lengthy period out of the limelight. Not so for Nina Williams, the memory challenged Bone Martial Arts specialist. She\'s among the first of the Exploding Fist crew to embark on a lucrative solo career.

Her game (in early development at Namco) somewhat lazily titled Nina, will follow her fighting exploits as she enters an underground brawling tournament on a cruise ship. Far from just a bloodlust for kicking ten shades out of people, Nina\'s there as a spy to investigate the sinister Camietta crime organisation. Not only will she be able to use her trademark Snake Arts and Betrayer Throws, made famous in Tekken 2, 3 and 4, Nina will also have access to guns, gadgets and other large bladed weapons.

Nina\'s not the first to leave the fray for pastures new - Heihachi and Yoshimitsu recently moonlighted in Namco\'s Soul Calibur II as playable characters. Will Nina have the all-important charisma to go it alone? We\'ll have to wait and see but she\'ll undoubtedly do a darn sight better than the Panda. You\'ve got to wonder what\'s going to happen to the bamboo nibbler\'s career when the Tekken entourage finally go their separate ways."

This is looking very weird!?...Last time this was done (Mortal Kombat, Sub Zero Solo) it took Midway some time to get the MK series back on track.  It seems it happens all to often.  The Developers are forced to be more original, which in result screws up the franchise.  What do you guys think?:rolleyes:

WHAT THE ****?WHAT ABOUT JIN?PFFF NINA DOING THE JAMES BOND THING!!

Sounds like shit to me

This makes no sense at all, why not just focus all their efforts on producing Tekken 5 instead.

To Namco, or whoever is making this game : "We already played an espionage game with a blond female character ; Raiden in MGS2 !" ( better pick Kazuya, if you\'re gonna do this game anyway )

Seriously though . . . It\'s insulting to see how devs just throw in a goodlooking female character to sell a game. I don\'t want to play all my games as a so called \'hot chick\'. Fvck that ! And it never ends does it eh . . . Rogue Ops anyone ? Another MGS/SC stealth game ripoff which features a * hold your breath * a HOT BLOND CHICK ! Yuck !

Fortunately there\'s also good news ; Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow will feature Sam Fischer again.
Here\'s the new PT site : SC pandora tomorrow

Whee! More fighting game characters going solo! I bet she\'ll be at least as big a hit as Sub-Zero! Yayyyyyy!

This has to be the crapest idea for a game. They are just exploiting her blond hair and her big tits.

What about Jin??? He is the best character ever, with the most background history, and is an all round better fighter. They could have done some kinda Shenmue type game with him.

EXACTLY

yeah i was gonna say what about the terrible mk spin offs... they could make it good, i mean, just do it a spy game, like splinter cell, but the lead character is nina, and leave all the other characters out of it, but i hardly think it ill be good
