Katsuhiro Harada Hits Waffle House: A Dream Come True for Tekken Fans
So, guess what? Katsuhiro Harada, the mastermind behind the Tekken series, has finally made it to Waffle House! You might be wondering why this is a big deal in the gaming world. Well, fans have been pushing for years to see a Waffle House stage in Tekken, and Harada has always been somewhat open to the idea. However, he mentioned some trademark issues holding things back.
Last year, he announced his departure from Bandai Namco, where he spent a considerable amount of time crafting the iconic fighting game. Just a few weeks ago, he unveiled his new venture, VS Studio. But amidst all these changes, the thought of enjoying a meal at Waffle House was clearly still on his mind!
Harada took to X/Twitter to share his experience, revealing that he finally got a chance to stop by and even snagged a menu for just $5. He tweeted, “I finally made it to WAFFLE HOUSE. The staff are always friendly, and next time, I’ll be back at 3 a.m. for fight time.” This late-night reference ties back to the memes that have hilariously surrounded Waffle House for years.
It seems like Harada has become quite the fan of the place since he previously admitted not knowing much about its significance on social media. Now, he’s deep into the Waffle House culture, and fans are loving it!
The reaction from the Tekken community has been just as enthusiastic as you’d expect. One fan expressed their gratitude by sharing their own Waffle House memorabilia, while others joined in with their own humorous takes on his visit.
Though Harada might not be in a position to bring Waffle House to Tekken directly anymore, the franchise is still thriving. Just recently, it was revealed that Yujiro Hanma from Baki will be joining the roster in Tekken 8, making things even more exciting for fans!
It’s safe to say that Harada’s Waffle House adventure has not only delighted him but also sparked joy among the community. Who knows, maybe we will see that Waffle House stage in the future after all!
