5 Video Game Loading Screens Almost Better Than The Game Itself
5. Tekken's Space Shooters
Namco released arcade fighter Tekken 5 in arcades and PS2 with an opening loading screen featuring a short demo from another of their arcade games, StarBlade. Players can enjoy a few moments of the space shooter while Tekken 5 itself was loading, and eventually unlock the full game in the Arcade History mode.
It’s similar to what they did with the original Playstation version of Tekken, which featured a playable version of the arcade space shooter, Galaga.
It was a neat way of disguising how long the game itself took to load, and we totally didn’t mind the completely random juxtaposition of flying space lasers followed by oddly-proportioned men beating each others faces in.
