Tekken 5 hits US arcades

Namco recently announced that Tekken 5 will appear in US arcades this October. Coinciding with the release will be a series of local and national tournaments, which will run into 2005-the National tournament is set to begin in February. Arcade owners must register their location in order to participate in the local tourneys. As an added comfort, players will have the option of bringing their own PS2 controller, which will plug into the machine. A home version is scheduled for release next year. We just wish it was sooner though because we can't seem to find the local arcade...
