Which Tekken game was a PlayStation 2 launch title in 2000?

The story behind the answer

Tekken Tag Tournament was a PlayStation 2 launch title in 2000.

Namco first released Tekken Tag Tournament in arcades in 1999, where it introduced two-on-two tag-team battles to the series. The PlayStation 2 version followed in 2000 and served as a launch title in North America and Europe. Its enhanced graphics helped demonstrate the new console’s hardware.

The game is a spin-off rather than a continuation of Tekken’s main storyline. It brought together nearly all characters from the earlier games, including fighters who were not simultaneously active in the main canon. The home version also added features such as Tekken Bowl, a bowling minigame.

A common mix-up is Tekken 3, which supplied much of the arcade game’s underlying technology but was not itself a PlayStation 2 launch title. Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 arrived later, in 2001 and 2004 respectively. The game was later remastered as Tekken Tag Tournament HD for PlayStation 3.
