The modding community has made Tekken 3 playable online. With Rollback netcode support, the nostalgic fighting game meets its fans again.
Bandai Namco’s classic fighting game Tekken 3became playable online thanks to the work of the mod community. Tekken 3, which was released for PlayStation 1 in 1997 and became a legend among fighting games, now offers an online experience with rollback netcode technology. This development created great excitement, especially for fans who were dissatisfied with modern Tekken games.
Tekken 3 and Rollback Technology
Rollback netcode, which minimizes delay in online games, has been added to Tekken 3, allowing players to have a smoother and more competitive experience. Thanks to this technology, game fluency can be maintained even at long distances. However, to use this feature, players need to download the game and make certain modifications. Mod developers have prepared a detailed guide to facilitate this process.
This innovation offers a return to the good old days for fans who are dissatisfied with modern games such as Tekken 8 and Tekken 7. Tekken 3 provides a classic fighting experience based solely on skills, without complex systems and modern mechanics. Even Tekken Ball, the game’s popular mini-game, is playable in this version.
Although Tekken 3 is now playable online, such classic games generally do not reach a large player base. However, with a small and loyal community, it offers an enjoyable experience that can be played among friends. Players can rediscover this nostalgic game and compete with their friends with easy-to-download guides.
