TEKKEN: Dark Resurrection will pack a punch when it hits later this month, boasting gorgeous graphics, double the customizable items seen in TEKKEN®5, fun mini games including TEKKEN Bowling and Gold Rush, and an exciting new game sharing feature where fans can play their friends using just one game.
