One of the stages is located in Venice, on the island of San Giorgio. Considering the year in which the game was released, the graphics are superb. The most identifiable buildings of this major Italian city are reconstructed effectively: in the lagoon background we see St. Mark’s Campanile and even the symbol of Venice, the Lion of Saint Mark (although it is erroneously placed on the island of San Giorgio). In Tekken Tag Tournament 2, one of the stages is located in Rome, at the Trevi Fountain, and characters can even fight in the fountain itself. The graphics are very detailed and there’s even a thinly veiled reference to Fellini’s La dolce vita.

One of the first video games released for PlayStation, which would go on to become a leader in the arcade fighter genre. The fighters face off in various rings to take home the title of tournament champion. The success of the game was mostly down to the depth of gameplay and the lifelike movements and techniques of the characters. The fights take place against a number of real life backdrops, including the Acropolis, Monument Valley, the Fiji Islands, and Venice. Another Italian setting, Rome, appears in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
