Tekken 3D: Prime Edition (鉄拳 3D Prime Edition) is a fighting game in the Tekken franchise, released for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the second Tekken game to be released for a Nintendo platform (Tekken Advance being the first). It supports the handheld's 3D capabilities and maintains a steady 60 fps even when running in 3D. 40 characters and stages are promised for the game. In addition, it is released in the same package as the 3D movie, Tekken: Blood Vengeance. This game is the update version of Tekken 6 PSP version. Nothing canged to the characters. Just the enhanced 2D to 3D graphic design and added with some returning and new stages. Just like Tekken Tag Tournament HD it's an update for the pre existing Tekken Tag Tournament.
Development
During its press conference at E3, Nintendo announced Tekken would be coming to the 3DS handheld. At Namco Bandai Games' booth at E3, they showcased a demo of the Tekken in-game engine running on the 3DS. Producer Katsuhiro Harada stated that the game would run in full 60 frames per second with the 3D on.
On August 17th 2011, a new trailer, for Tekken 3D: Prime Edition was released, along with its name. It was also revealed that the game would include over 40 characters, as well as a 3D version of the film Tekken: Blood Vengeance on the game's cartridge.
Characters
All 41 characters from Tekken 6 returned in this game. Heihachi Mishima, while present, appears younger like he was in the original Tekken and Tekken 2, an anomaly which is mirrored in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. It is suspected that this is due to the passing of the character's original voice actor, Daisuke Gōri.

Reception
Tekken 3D: Prime Edition has received average to slightly positive reviews. IGN has greatly praised the game's visuals and good framerate, but it lamented its lack of game modes and low replay value. Gamespot stated that while it looked and played very well, the game seemed incomplete. Tech-Gaming found the game's engine to be up to the task, but bemoaned the laggy online multiplayer. Tekken 3D: Prime Edition currently has a Metacritic score of 69 out of 100.
