The year 2000 was a landmark era for fighting games. Namco released Tekken Tag Tournament as a launch title for the PlayStation 2. It wasn't just a simple port of the arcade hit; it was a visual spectacle that showcased what the "Emotion Engine" could do.

Jun and Miguel played for three hours straight. They lost. A lot. But they also won. They discovered the cheapness of True Ogre’s unblockable. The elegance of Nina and Anna’s synchronized throws. The thrill of tagging out at the very last frame before a death blow.

Jun’s heart hammered. He had the original Tekken Tag Tournament disc at home, but a year ago, his older brother Miguel, in a fit of rage after losing a 20-winstreak to Jun’s cheap Eddy Gordo, had snapped the disc clean in half. The PS2 still worked, but the magic was gone. Their family couldn't afford a new one.
