Tekken (鉄拳, Tekken ? lit. Iron Fist), also known retrospectively as Tekken 1, is a fighting game and is the first in what would become the Tekken series and franchise. It was first released in 1994 in arcades and was soon ported to the PlayStation home console; in later years it was included in Tekken 5’s arcade history mode and in 2011 was released for the Playstation 3, Playstation Portable and Playstation Vita via the Playstation Network. Tekken was developed and published by Namco as one of the earliest fully 3D fighting games, coming a year after rival SEGA’s Virtua Fighter. Tekken was succeeded a year later by a sequel, Tekken 2.
