Tekken Advance

Tekken Advance marked the series' debut on a Nintendo system - and the only one until 2012. The game is mostly based on Tekken 3, but also adds a tag battle mode similar to Tag Tournament. Despite the hardware limitations which resulted in a greatly reduced move list, the game still manages to be a surprisingly solid portable outing.
