🌟 Headline Features

📺 True 16:9 Widescreen is Here (Enabled by Default!)

Say goodbye to black sidebars! Tekken 3 NX now renders in glorious, native panoramic 16:9 using real Native-Wide Sidecar projection.

• ZERO STRETCHING: Character models, 3D arenas, and sprites retain their authentic 1998 proportions with an expanded panoramic FOV. The previous widescreen only stretched the image, but NOT ANYMORE.
• Docked & Handheld: Looks breathtaking both on the Switch's handheld screen and docked on your big-screen TV at locked 60 FPS!
• Edge-to-Edge Banners: Top header banners now stretch smoothly from edge to edge with zero seams.

---

🎮 Single Horizontal Joy-Con Multiplayer (Pass a Joy-Con & Fight!)

No extra controllers needed! You can now slide off your Joy-Cons and jump straight into local 2-player versus battles anywhere, anytime:

• Full support for single horizontal Joy-Con controls (P1 & P2).
• Perfect for quick matches with friends in tabletop mode or on the TV dock.

---

⚙️ In-Game Settings Overlay (Hold Minus [-] for 1 second)

NO MORE connecting your Switch to your PC in order to edit config.txt!

• Hold the Minus [-] button for over 1 second at any time to pull up the live in-game settings menu.
• Switch on the fly between 16:9 Widescreen / 4:3 Retro, adjust Internal Supersampling (1x, 2x HD, 3x Ultra HD), toggle character unlocks, and see changes take effect instantly! (Game will restart automatically after you apply any change)

🛠️ Visual Polish & UI Fixes

• Hardware Line Rendering (Deko3D): Restored the missing white grid bevels and borders in the Team Battle roster view via native GPU rasterization.
• Unified Consoles Across Roster Pages: Fixed the lower UI layout in Team Battle and Tekken Ball when swapping between Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament (TTT1) rosters with L2 / R2. Everything stays cleanly centered and unified with no jumping or detached frames.
• Cleaned 16:9 Margins: Removed residual off-screen handicap lifebars from leaking into the wide borders during VS character selection.
• More small fixes and inprovements
