With Tekken 8 releasing this week, Bandai Namco Entertainment has begun ramping up marketing, with the newest advert seeing two NBA Timberwolves stars go at it in a friendly game of competition.
Two Men Enter, Only One Man Leaves
Minnesota Timberwolves players Karl-Anthony Towns and Mike Conley Jr. are all too familiar with a game of competition, be that on the court or sitting side-by-side on a couch; if it’s an activity that involves testing their skills against one another, then you bet they’ll be there. Such is the case for the latest Tekken 8 commercial, which pits the two athletes against one another for a test of combat. Who’s fists will reign supreme? Let’s find out!
Alright, not everyone is a fan of Basketball, but if you’re a fan of Tekken and looking forward to Tekken 8, at least we got to see some new gameplay, not to mention some customization options. Victor is sporting some amazing-looking gear from this video!
