PlayStation 3 gets Downloadable Tekken 5

Score one for Namco Bandai. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is now available as a download for JP PS3 owners in the PlayStation Store. The sub-$17 purchase price gives you an 830 Meg download of 720p or 1080p fighting game goodness.
EvilAvatar had the link over to this GamaSutra story. No word yet on a North American release, and you can see what the new features are in this version after the jump.
…the new version of the 7th iteration in the long-running Tekken series makes boss character Jinpachi Mishima playable for the first time.
Apart from the standard arcade battle mode, the downloadable version includes ghost battle, a mode in which players fight a never-ending series of characters to rise through ranks, a standard multiplayer versus mode, and a gallery mode in which players can unlock Tekken artwork and videos with in-game ‘fight money.’
I’m guessing most of this is not entirely new to the series since I recall seeing money in the Tekken DR for the PSP game, but I think James (our resident Tekken master) can fill us in. I’m curious if there’s any PlayStation Network integration for at least high scores.
