Maybe among Tekken fans, specially during Tekken 5 hype, but not mainstream demand for Her Story. Guessing it was the time were they could afford experimentation, and she was definitely a solid contender for a spin off when compared to other fighters, given her profession. If Namco played it right it could've been something.
The Rise to Honor style combat really hurts this game, it could've been a good ol fashion beat em up like Tekken Force or a DMC with martial arts. Here you have this character with already fully fleshed out combat moves and you go with analog stick combat? I guess props for trying something 'new' but this was a no brainer, Tekken 5 pulled it off with Jin's simplified move set in that game's Tekken Force, imagine if they did that for Nina, but with actual care and a bigger budget than a side project like Jin's TF mode. It's baffling that they went with right stick combat.

Yoshimitsu could've been another good contender for a spin off in the style of Ninja Gaiden game.
Also nina looks weird in game, her face does not match her cgi or Tekken title's look. I'd play another Nina spin off game if they give it to Capcom or Platinum and make it an actual dmc style game.
Those CGI cutscenes were sexy af, i'll give them that. Nina in that swimsuit, wew, what a breed demon

Everyone’s favorite Tekken 3 game mode was Tekken Force so I’m guess they wanted a full game and chose the character with the most sex appeal. Also Nina’s story with her sister rivalry is more coherent than a lot of the characters

One mega popular thing to do in Japan was to have sub teams making games to fill in the ranks and not go broke working on their main titles that made them the most money.

You are looking at a sub game that had a major title added on to it to help sell.

Other games this happened with are FFIX and FFX for example. Both were not FF games until it was needed and the FF team swapped over to development to make "untitled" into IX and "seventeen" into FFX. FFX was under Sony request to get a launch title for the ps2.

pic related: seventeen "sending" before it was FFX.
(some sub games were Katamari Damacy, Tales, Dead to Rights, Soul Edge/Calibur.)

I love how you zoomers get baffled at shit from the old era of gaming because you were never around to understand. Its likely they tried to push her because of sex appeal reasons. It was a different time and pushing a hot blonde girl at that time as a character for some spin off games seemed like a good idea. Especially with Tomb Raider being popular.

If she did have any popularity it was just boys cooming to her and so I can believe it was some amount of mild popularity. Maybe she was voted in a top 5 on a poll somewhere who the fuck knows. But that is the most likely reason they tried giving her, her own game.
