Tekken Card Challenge
is a ''Tekken'' video game released for the WonderSwan. It uses the characters from Tekken 3, including an exclusive playable character to the game, Crow, which previously appeared as NPCs in the original. Gameplay ''Tekken Card Challenge'' utilizes a system similar to its ''Pokémon'' counterpart. Two opponents are to fight at a time, with various cards for different maneuvers and a 100-point HP total for damage accumulation.

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 (except in the case of a counter), 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 car ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
