It looks like fans of Tekken 7 who are waiting for its release for PS4 and Xbox One will wait a little longer as the developer still focuses in polishing the game in its arcade version before it rolls out to consoles.

It is reported that Bandai Namco's director for Tekken 7, Katsuhiro Harada, is encouraging the game's arcade fans to give some feedbacks to make sure that bugs and other issues are fixed before it will reach the consoles.

The director also mentioned about the possible added features for the game where he noted that the demands of the game's arcade version in North America will be the developer's way of weighing things if they will add an online multiplayer feature to the game or otherwise.

With that, North American fans can also participate in giving some feedbacks on the game as Tekken 7 has already landed in the United States for its location tests. Players can try out the arcade version at the Dave and Buster's and Round One selected areas across the US soil.

Katarina, Lucky Chloe, Asuka, Kazumi, Lili, Xiaoyu, Alisa, and Josie will be dressed up as idols Takane, Iori, Haruka, Chihaya, Miki, Yayoi, Yukiho, and Hibiki. Bandai Namco has been popular to fans in providing Idolmaster treatment, where titles like "Beautiful Katamari" and "Ace Combat" are included.

Tekken 7 was initially released at Super Nova Arcade in Fukushima in February and followed by different arcades across Japan. Meanwhile, Xbox One and PS4 console versions have been confirmed by Bandai Namco earlier to be under way and in the process of development.
