'''Tekken 3''' is a one-on-one [[fighting]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1996]]; it was the first game to run on the company's then-new System 12 hardware (a PSX CPU running at 16.9344 MHz, with a Hitachi H8/3002 sub-microprocessor running at 14.7456 MHz, and a C352 custom sound chip which runs at the same speed as its sub-CPU for audio), and as its name suggests, it is the third title in the [[:Category:Tekken|Tekken series]]. The players must again use an 8-way joystick and four buttons (two for left and right punches, and two for left and right kicks), to take control of two of ten fighters (five from the first two games, and five new fighters, '''Xiaoyu''', '''Marshall Law''''s son '''Forest''', '''Hwoarang''', '''Eddy''' and '''Jin''') - and as in [[Tekken 2]], a month after the NVRAM has been initialised, the game will introduce one new character over a period of ten weeks for a total of twenty characters. When this game got converted for the [[Sony PlayStation]] on March 26, [[1998]] (and later released in the US and EU on April 29 and in September of that same year), it added three new characters ('''Anna''' from those first two games, '''Dr. Bosconovitch''', and '''Gon'''), as well as two new modes: "Tekken Force" mode (which plays similar to Namco's earlier [[beat 'em up]] games of the mid-to-late 1980s, and features fried chickens as energy pickups), and "Tekken Ball" mode (similar to volleyball, and players must "charge" its ball, meaning "strike it with a powerful attack", to injure their opponents); the former mode went on to reappear in the PlayStation conversion of [[Tekken 4]], but succeeded by "Devil Within" for the [[PlayStation 2|PS2]] conversion of [[Tekken 5]]. This was also the only title for the Tekken series which did not feature '''Lee''' and '''Kazuya'''.


'''Tekken 3''' is the third installment in the popular [[:Category:Tekken|Tekken fighting game series]].
The hidden characters are '''Kuma''' and '''Heihachi''' (of the first two games), '''Bryan''', '''Gun Jack''', '''Michelle Chang''''s daughter '''Julia''', '''Mokujin''', '''Ogre''', '''True Ogre''', '''Tiger''' (who plays identical to '''Eddy''') and '''Panda''' (who plays identical to '''Kuma'''); '''Xiaoyu''' and '''Panda''' also appeared in less serious-looking form, as the Nikotama Gals' third-baseman and short-stop, in [[Super World Stadium '99]] with several other Namco characters (including '''Anna''' and '''Nina''', who were on the team as two of its five pitchers). A port of this game's original arcade version (along with one of both of its two predecessors!) was also featured in "Arcade History" mode in that aforementioned Sony PlayStation 2 conversion of "Tekken 5" in [[2005]].


Tekken 3 was the first Tekken to feature a beat-up mini-game called Tekken Force. Tekken Force pitted the player in various stages against enemies in a side-scrolling fashion. This was continued in Tekken 4 and succeeded by the "Devil Within" mini-game in Tekken 5. There is also a mini-game called Tekken Ball, similar to beach volleyball, where one has to "charge" a ball (hit the ball with a powerful attack) in order to hurt the opponent.
