🌸 tekken 3 expanded edition is here! 🌸

Remember the days of playing Tekken 3 for the arcades, thinking that characters like Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama would be playable? And don't forget the leftover data, a portrait of Jun (with Nina's model/Jin's moveset) and name callouts for her and Kazuya? Well, Tekken 3 Expanded is making your dreams a reality!

Tekken 3 Expanded is a modded edition of Vanilla Tekken 3, in which all the characters from the first Tag Tournament game (including final boss Unknown) are playable! Originally, a mod called Tekken 3 Recompiled was made by YouTuber @retrogg7509 with Jun Kazama added into the roster!

Over time, another modder @omarou_ma (also via YouTube) has added onto this project, gathering the data for the Tag Tournament characters and making them fully playable! As of recently, a new edition of this mod has been released with support for Android devices and there are more additional features included (see this link: https://youtu.be/YvDqCwzFNps)

I just can't believe this is real, when I first saw Jun Kazama I had to try this mod out for myself as she is one of my main characters (aside from Anna). I couldn't resist downloading, especially as Tekken 3 is one of my favourite games (thanks to my dad) and also one I grew up on from the mid to late 2000's as a child (in fact, my dad is an OG Tekken gamer and even in his 60's during retirement, he still plays).

Point is, this is one of the best things to happen in the world of gaming and as a Tekken fangirl (who is biased for the older games as I started with Tekken 3, 2 and 4 in this order), this is a heavenly dream come true!

Here, you can view my current playthroughs and extras of the mod which are in my Tekken 3 playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJefuLZYaPXeJAaljD2Gjtr8Ch-IcrSjc
