October Tekken 7 Location Test Niconico Streams

The upcoming debut of the new Tekken game is this weekend! Bandai Namco's marketing employee HinoP tweeted out the niconico stream URL for the location tests that is being held in Namco Sugamo and Namco Nipponbashi arcades in Japan on 4th and 5th of October. Nobi will be commentating the stream at Namco Sugamo while Yuu is going to Osaka's Nipponbashi arcade to perform stream commentary. You'll need to create a niconico account to watch the stream but it is easy to quickly create one here. If you can't catch the streams live, I will be recording them and uploading them to YouTube at a later date. You can watch the upcoming Tekken 7 location test at the following URLs:
