[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62792, member: 1"] In response to a wave of fans lobbying for a Waffle House-themed stage in Tekken 8, the game's director Katsuhiro Harada finally broke the silence and addressed the high demand for this unique stage. Over the weekend, Harada [URL='https://twitter.com/Harada_TEKKEN/status/1774023083764199566']responded[/URL] to a request one fan made in his replies about adding a stage based on Waffle House to the latest installment in Bandai Namco's fighting game series. In a rare instance, Harada responded and asked why so many people keep asking him to add this seemingly unrelated breakfast restaurant to the game. Many fans flocked to the replies to explain why they would love to see a Waffle House stage in Tekken 8. For those unfamiliar with Waffle House, it's a chain of Southern diners with nearly 2,000 locations in over 20 states, most of which are located in the South and Midwest. In its nearly 70 years of operation, Waffle House has become a cultural icon for a few reasons, two most notable ones being it is an open-all-night eating spot ([URL='https://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-what-fema-told-us-about-the-waffle-house-index-212014707.html']even during emergencies[/URL]) and because it has become the centerpiece of [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/ezly79/waffle_house_job_application/']a lot of memes[/URL], most of them surrounding the fact that people have posted [URL='https://x.com/meteor_sei/status/1774060799792697529?s=20']photos[/URL] and [URL='https://x.com/KevChelios/status/1607959750960119808?s=20']videos of fights[/URL] breaking out at various locations. Even SNL [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYNFqmu2toI']made a skit based on the meme[/URL]. After the large volume of responses he received explaining the memes, Harada [URL='https://twitter.com/Harada_TEKKEN/status/1774054319094153644']followed up on his question[/URL] by thanking fans for explaining "why" they wanted it so much. But as you might have expected, he said that making the stage would not be easy because Waffle House is a registered trademark and he would need permission from the owner of the rights to Waffle House to make the stage. Nevertheless, fans of Waffle House and/or the Waffle House memes have some hope that, [I]just maybe[/I], they will get a Tekken 8 stage based on the eatery.
