The long-awaited announcement has finally arrived: TEKKEN 8 is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch! For fans of the iconic fighting game series who have been patiently waiting for a portable version, this news couldn't be more exciting.

While some might question why Bandai Namco chose the Switch as its platform of choice, considering other popular consoles like PS4 and Xbox One already host previous titles in the TEKKEN series (like TEKKEN 7), there are several compelling reasons to get excited about this latest installment landing on Nintendo's console:

1. Accessibility: The Switch has proven itself time and again to be an incredibly accessible gaming platform, especially for casual players who may not have prior experience with fighting games or even beat-em-ups in general.

2. Portability: With the ability to take TEKKEN 8 anywhere you go without worrying about having a separate console at home or in your car (or both), this version of the game truly lives up to its name - it's always ready whenever and wherever you are!

3. Nostalgia factor: For Nintendo fans, there is no denying that TEKKEN holds an special place in their hearts due largely because of how well-received earlier titles like Super Smash Bros. for Switch were received upon release; so much so that many consider these games as nothing short than modern classics themselves!

4. Graphics and Performance: Despite initial concerns about whether a fighting game could run smoothly on the Switch's hardware, TEKKEN 8 has proven those fears unfounded with its stunning visuals and smooth gameplay.

5. Online Play: With support for up to eight online players at once (with PS Plus), this version of TEKKEN promises to deliver an unparalleled multiplayer experience unlike anything else available right now!

In conclusion, if you're a fan of the TEKKEN series or simply looking for another great reason to pick up a Switch and dive headfirst into one heckuva good time with friends around town; then look no further than TEKKEN 8 on Nintendo eShop today!
