Verizon Wireless scored an exclusive deal with Namco Networks to bring the famous fighting game “TEKKEN 2″ to its subscribers.

From the official release:

Designed exclusively for a mobile experience, “TEKKEN 2″ challenges fans of the popular arcade and console game series to master 10 hit combos, powerful moves and crushing counters as they challenge seven characters from the arcade classic to win the King of the Iron Fist Tournament. Players can select one of three fighters, each with its own array of movements and special attacks, to defeat other characters in best of three matches. If players are victorious, new characters are unlocked and made available. Players appearing in the game include Jun, Heihachi, Nina, Kazuya, Paul, Yoshimitsu, Devil and Angel. Players will enjoy the fast-paced action they have come to expect from the “TEKKEN” series, including furious fighting moves and combos; signature 3D graphics; and iconic playable characters, each with their own unique fighting styles. Players can enter the Iron Fist Tournament in Original Mode; test their stamina in Survival Mode; or play Beginner Mode, where pressing a single button generates randomly selected fighting moves.

The game is already available for a monthly subscription fee of $3.99 or for $9.99 for unlimited use purchase. Customers who download the game beginning until March 2, 2009, will also be entered for a chance to win a “TEKKEN 5″ arcade machine and other prizes.
