There's an optional 3D mode for those who've taken the plunge, although the game still looks fantastic without it. What's strange is that it's taken Namco well over a decade to return to one of the greatest sideshows in fighting game history. Anyone with the faintest interest in gaming could spectate, play or spend hours in the training room with their chosen pair of characters. You could argue that the first Tag Tournament was little more that a graphically improved version of Tekken 3 with a bolstered roster and a functional tag system - but even when played today, it's clear that Namco struck a near perfect balance between visual finesse, button-tapping accessibility and mechanical sophistication. There wasn't even enough change left over to for a second controller, but when I saw that intro playing for the first time, I was instantly hooked.
None of my gaming friends made the leap either, so when I happened upon a used PS2 in a pawn shop just before Christmas 2000, I scraped all my funds together for the console and a copy of Tekken Tag Tournament. When the PlayStation 2 made its emotional debut, I was too young and too jobless to afford one.
