Tekken Tag Tournament (鉄拳タッグトーナメント, Tekken Taggu Tōnamento?, lit. Iron Fist Tag Tournament) is the fourth installment in the Tekken fighting game series and a spin-off of the main series, focusing on tag team battles. It is not canonical to the Tekken storyline. The game was originally available as an update kit for Tekken 3, running on the same System 12 arcade board. Tekken Tag Tournament was first released on arcades in 1999. It was ported to the PlayStation 2 home console in 2000 (released as a launch title outside Japan), though the PS2 version ran on an enhanced game engine with better graphics, which allowed the characters and stages to appear less angular and more detailed compared to how they used to look in the PS1 Tekken trilogy. The game combines most characters found in both Tekken 3 and Tekken 2.
