From article:

"21st December, 2011 – Good news for European fans of action-packed fighting games, Nintendo and NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. have today confirmed that they have entered into a new distribution agreement for the forthcoming game TEKKEN™ 3D PRIME EDITION, scheduled for release exclusively on Nintendo 3DS across Europe on 17 February 2012. Under the terms of the agreement Nintendo will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of the game throughout European territories and Australia, with NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. remaining as the publisher.

TEKKEN 3D P RIME E DITION for Nintendo 3DS will see the famous King of Iron Fist Tournament fought in 3D for the first time, with the unique functionality of the Nintendo 3DS delivering a more realistic and dynamic TEKKEN™ experience. Players will choose from a selection of more than 40 characters and do battle on totally new stages alongside others redesigned especially for Nintendo 3DS. TEKKEN 3D PRIME EDITION will make the most of the Wi-Fi functionality of the Nintendo 3DS, and deliver fast-paced dynamic battles with impressive graphics running at a high frame rate.

 For the first time on Nintendo 3DS, a full-length CG movie will be available on the game cartridge. TEKKEN Blood Vengeance is produced by Digital Frontier (Resident Evil: Degeneration, Death Note, Appleseed) and directed by Youichi Mouri (opening movies for TEKKEN 5 and TEKKEN 6: Bloodline Rebellion). Taking the history and legacy of the TEKKEN universe into a full-length CG movie, TEKKEN Blood Vengeance will be included on the TEKKEN 3D PRIME EDITION cartridge, in full 3D.

TEKKEN™ 3D PRIME EDITION, will be available across Europe on 17 February 2012 exclusively on Nintendo 3DS. For more information about this and other features, visit www.nintendo.co.uk and www.namcobandaigames.eu"

UPDATE: New trailer, not the best quality though.

Is Nintendo publishing a Tekken game? Or am I reading things wrong. Things have come long ways over the years. The game gotta be hella good if Ninty agrees on a distribution deals. 

NoE are also publishing One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP instead of Namco-Bandai as well. Source: http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/33831/one-piece-unlimited-cruise-special-release-date/

Sounds like a multi-game deal between NoE and Namco-Bandai, I would've just prefered if they had done it earlier and had NoE's marketing muscle behing Tales of the Abyss 3D when it launched last month.

This also reminds me of how NoE are publishing Resident Evil next month. That suggests deals like these are part of a larger overall strategy towards 3rd party games by NoE, not just isolated incidents. In that case, it would say that it is possibly to see Nintendo publish games like Kingdom Hearts 3D in the near future.

Meanwhile, NoA...

Well you get this

Its punishment for their dollar being weaker

It sounds like a good partnership. Anything that gets more games on Nintendo's systems is fine by me.

Sounds good though like mrttar said i would have liked if they did it earlier and helped support abyss 3ds as well.

Wait.. So they are putting the Movie Blood Vengeance on it!!!!???... but that's not a bonus.. it's a punishment... horrible movie... about highschool romance.. >_

thats good to hear, will be getting this game when it comes out in the states.
