Having first been revealed over four years ago, Namco Bandai has at last named a release date of October 27th for Xbox 360 and PS3 brawler Tekken 6, according to GameSpot.

That’s for North America, of course – though no European date has been confirmed, an October 30th arrival now seems highly likely. There’s still no release date for the PSP version.

Furthermore, the publisher has revealed a pair of pre-order incentives for the US. Alongside the standard SKU, gamers will also be able to pick up a Wireless Fight Stick Bundle for both 360 and PS3 which will retail for $149.99 and include a Hori joystick – similar to those clamoured for amidst the mass shortages following the release of Street Fighter IV in the UK.

A second pre-order pack that’s exclusive to retailer GameStop will include some Penny Arcade themed DLC.

Tekken 6 was one of 2008’s headline grabbers when it followed several other high-profile franchises in going multiplatform after years of PlayStation exclusivity.

1. Multimedia messaging does not support sculpture, macrame, or interpretive dance.
2. Voice memo recordings totally don’t sound like me. I don’t sound like that, do I? Seriously?
3. Turned on adult content filter but everybody in my videos still has their clothes on.
4. Adding a task to calendar did not result in task getting done.
5. Clicked this blue “compass” icon but kept getting some stupid web browser.
6. Still no apps to cure the nagging feeling that I should’ve bought a Palm Pre.
7. The touchscreen is now on the back of the phone instead of the front.
8. Gone to the bathroom four times already today, and Remote Wipe hasn’t worked once.
9. Spotlight search crashed with memory overload error trying to index my Harry Potter cosplay photo collection.
10. Tried out tethering, but I think I broke my finger smacking that phone around the pole.
11. Apple still hasn’t fixed the no-hardware-keyboard bug.
12. “Cut” function does not apply to monthly AT&T bill.

With VIZIO and Pioneer jumping out of the plasma game, we can totally foresee sales of Panasonic’s 103-inch PDP skyrocketing. All kidding aside, a startup arcade would be ludicrous to not shove one of these into the center of the action. What you’re looking at above is a mutltitouch air hockey table, made possible by Panny’s ginormous plasma and a U-Touch overlay from uicentric. The table was on display over in Amsterdam at ISE 2009, and quite frankly, we’re intensely envious of the attendees who were able to blow off some steam by grabbing a game on this. Obligatory video is just past the break.

NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today revealed a new Scenario Campaign mode for TEKKEN® 6, the latest entry to the blockbuster fighting franchise. The new mode for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system version of Tekken 6 will allow players to participate in single or two player online co-op campaigns while experiencing intense action and large-scale battles.
