'''Tekken 5''' is a one-on-one [[fighting]] arcade game which got released by [[Namco]] in [[2004]]; it was the first game to run on the company's then-new System 256 hardware (an MIPS R5000 running at 294 MHz, with a PSX SPU running at 48 KHz). Despite its name, the game is the sixth title in the [[:Category:Tekken|Tekken series]] (for [[Tekken Tag Tournament]] was the fourth one, and [[Tekken 4]] the fifth one) - and both players must use an 8-way joystick and four buttons (two for left and right punches, and two for left and right kicks) for taking up control of two of twenty fighters ('''Bryan''', '''Christie''', '''Craig Marduk''', '''Hwoarang''', '''Jin''', '''Julia''', '''Kazuya''', '''King''', '''Lee''', '''Lei''', '''Marshall Law''', '''Nina''', '''Paul''', '''Steve''', '''Ling Xiaoyu''' and '''Yoshimitsu''' from the 5 previous titles, and four new ones, '''Asuka Kazama''', '''Feng Wei''', '''Jack 5''' and '''Raven'''). The System 256 hardware was also based upon the [[Sony PlayStation 2]] so players could bring in their PS2 controllers and plug them into the ports on the cabinet - and when this game was ported to the PS2 in Japan on [[February 24]], [[2005]] (and later in the US and EU on [[March 31]] and [[June 24]] of the same year), '''Tekken Force Mode''' did not return, as it had been usurped by a new minigame by the name of '''Devil Within'''.

Two weeks after the NVRAM has been initialised, '''Anna''' and '''Baek''' will become selectable, along with a fifth new character of '''Roger Jr.''' (a kangaroo); two weeks after that date, '''Bruce''', '''Kuma''', and '''Wang''' will also become selectable. On the forty-first day, the Cathedral and Final Stages will get unlocked - and on the forty-second, '''Devil Jin''', '''Ganryu''' and '''Mokujin''' shall become selectable. Four weeks after that date, '''Heihachi''' and that '''Random Selection Box''' shall also become selectable; after '''Kuma''' has become selectable, '''Panda''' can also be activated when a player selects him and presses either Kick Button to confirm their choice. Also, if a player purchased and registered a "Data Card" of the game with '''Christie''', earned 400000 {{G}} (Gamerscore points) on it, and purchased the "Head: ?????" item, they would unlock '''Eddy''' - and in a first for the series, the last boss '''Jinpachi Mishima''' is completely unplayable (meaning that he was not even made a playable character in the PlayStation 2 version).
