Which console received the 1995 home port of the original Tekken?

The story behind the answer

The 1995 home port of the original Tekken was released for the PlayStation.

Tekken first appeared in arcades in 1994, running on Namco System 11 hardware that was closely based on Sony’s PlayStation architecture. That technical foundation made a home conversion practical, and Namco released the PlayStation version in Japan on March 31, 1995, followed by releases in other regions.

The port was more than a simple arcade copy. It added arranged music, full-motion video sequences, and unlockable characters, including several sub-bosses that were not initially playable in the arcade version. These additions helped make the game a major early fighting-game success on PlayStation.

The release is sometimes confused with Tekken 2, which arrived in arcades in 1995 but reached PlayStation in 1996. Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, and Sega Saturn were not the home platforms for the original Tekken, making PlayStation the single canonical answer.
