Tekken Card Challenge (鉄拳カードチャレンジ Tekken Kādocharenji?) is a turn-based fighting game released only in Japan for the Wonderswan. It features the characters from Tekken 3 plus an exclusive character named Crow.

Gameplay[]

Tekken Card Challenge utilizes a system similar to Nintendo's Pokémon games. Two opponents are to fight at a time, with various cards for different maneuvers and a 100 point HP total for damage accumulation. The player begins with a hand of four cards, drawing more as the duel proceeds.

The battle system is similar to Yu-Gi-Oh! in that the three types of cards perform in a rock, paper, and scissors pattern. Attack cards are played against each other to compare values with the loser being discarded and deducting HP, an attack card played against a defense nullifies each other, and two block cards cancel each other out. There is also a minor system of air juggling, which can be quite damaging given the correct order of cards.

Tekken Card Challenge also provides the player with a variety of game modes. There is a link mode present, 1-player battle, 2-player battle and Adventure, which allows the player to unlock more characters and duel opponents. In adventure mode, the player is given movement of a character sprite in a full environment taken place on a 15 x 15 square grid to traverse. The point of each stage is to defeat each "duelist" given limited number of steps and gain entrance to the exit.

Game Modes[]

  • Adventure (アドベンチャー): Single player game mode. It is possible to collect cards during the adventure. Reinforced characters can be used in online battles.

Trivia[]

  • For the first time, Panda is not a palette swap of Kuma II.
  • Although this game is based on Tekken 3, Gon and Tiger Jackson are not included.
    • Gon is not present as he was only a guest character in Tekken 3.
    • Crow replaces Gon and takes his place while Panda "replaces" True Ogre.
  • Crow and Ogre are the only bonus characters.
  • True Ogre is for the first time an unplayable boss.
  • Eddy Gordo, King II, Paul Phoenix, Forest Law, Nina Williams, Lei Wulong, Yoshimitsu, and Hwoarang are the first time unlockable characters.
    • Hwoarang is the only one that is half unlockable.
      • He can only be unlocked if he is not selected in Adventure Mode. If selected, he is automatically unlocked for versus mode.
  • All the playable characters have 100 HP, with the exception of Crow, who has only 50 HP.
  • There is a small mistake in the character selection at Doctor B.. The point comes after "Doctor" instead of "B".
