Play Tekken Advance (Eurasia) (J) Online

Tekken Advance (Eurasia) (J) is a stripped-down but surprisingly solid GBA port of the arcade fighter. You get nine characters, which feels sparse compared to the console versions, but they still play distinct enough to matter. The first thing you notice is how the controls are simplified—fewer moves, tighter timing windows—but it still captures that Tekken weight in the punches and kicks.

I spent most of my time with Paul and Hwoarang, and while some of their signature moves are missing, the core feel is there. The link cable mode works well if you can find someone else with a copy, though the AI is predictable after a few matches. The lack of unlockables hurts replay value, but for quick fights on the go, it does the job.

It's not the full Tekken experience, but for a GBA game, it's impressive how much of the fighting spirit they kept intact.
