What began as a meme has grow to be a quest of types for Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada. Final summer season, Harada turned morbidly curious in regards to the diner chain, asking his followers what the deal was with these brawls and the tradition behind it. He tried to get an official collaboration going, much like different previous collabs with New Japan Professional Wrestling and The Strolling Useless, however that does not appear to be on the desk.
Harada took to Twitter, updating his followers and followers on the state of affairs and confirmed Waffle Home has not returned his calls, however he’s attempting to think about a means round it.
“To be trustworthy, throughout the bounds of what I can say, I absolutely perceive your (you guys) request–that’s exactly why I had thought-about taking up this problem,” Harada wrote. “In reality, I had already been fascinated about it fairly some time in the past. Over the previous 12 months or extra, I’ve really tried to make contact by way of a number of totally different channels. Nonetheless, and that is purely my very own hypothesis, I think that the dearth of response could also be because of the truth that the undertaking I am recognized for revolves round fighting-themed video video games. By the way in which, no response = very uncommon case.”
If we will not get that “Home” title license, how about we name it “Hustle Home” stage?
Would not that make sense to everybody? https://t.co/OLJeLshGet— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) May 13, 2025
He did point out that possibly an homage or parody could be one of the best answer. “If utilizing a unique title or format is suitable so long as the core message is maintained, then I’d be keen to noticeably rethink and discover this once more.” He had tossed across the title Hustle Home, which appeared to catch on together with his followers.
Since Waffle Home appears out of attain, Season 2 of Tekken 8 already had some collabs coming with Pac-Man and Karate Child Legends, together with much-needed steadiness changes.
