Tekken director apparently retains getting requests so as to add a Waffle Home stage

Waffle Home is a kind of uniquely American institutions-turned-meme. The 24/7 chain isn’t solely a spot the place you may order a breakfast combo at 3AM, however the place unruly prospects have been identified to point out up able to throw palms (and generally chairs). Given its notoriety for late-night brawls, it’s precisely the kind of setting that will make for an ideal backdrop in a combating sport like Tekken 8 — and apparently, followers have been inquiring. Longtime Tekken director posted on X this weekend asking what the deal is with all of the Waffle Home requests.

Clearly, the query was posed within the days earlier than April Fools’ Day, so I wouldn’t be shocked if there turned out to be some jest baked into all of it. However now that we’re having the dialog…

“Okay, I’ll solely ask as soon as about this request,” Harada posted. “Why do some communities ship me requests for ‘Waffle Home’? Please be sure you clarify the idea for the request, together with the unique story, historical past and background. I sit up for an evidence from somebody who is aware of extra.”

Harada adopted it up with one other thanking everybody who defined it and saying he understands, however went on to say, “The restaurant has each the trademark and the rights to the restaurant, so if the restaurant chain’s headquarters refuses to simply accept my proposal, it won’t occur.” Waffle Home now has a possibility to do one thing fairly humorous right here.

However that shouldn’t come earlier than Waffle Home adequately addresses the considerations of its workers, a few of whom have been about low wages and a . Staff from some places are on strike, and the has put collectively a petition demanding Waffle Home implement adjustments to enhance working circumstances. Till that is resolved, any collaboration with the combating sport would simply be in poor style.
