Nintendo has confirmed that Tekken 3D’s multiplayer modes will only be playable in 2D.

“What we were most particular about in terms of technology was, ‘We have to retain 60 frames per second (FPS) at all costs.’ If someone says, ‘It lags when it’s made 3D,’ then you get the impression that that’s the kind of game Tekken is, so right from the beginning that was a condition that I wasn’t willing to budge on,” producer Katsuhiro Harada told Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata.

Harada certainly stuck to his guns, as Nintendo notes: “In Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, the game supports 60 frames per second during wireless play, but stereoscopic 3D display is not supported.”
