![]() ![]() GAMEPLAY: Tag Tournament 2 is a fine game, with the time honoured limb-based attacks, juggle combos and a vast array of characters, most of whom are markedly different, with unique movesets and individual feel. SOUND: Again, the Wii U comes correct with a rollicking soundtrack which features some ace re-workings of long-time theme tunes, a stack of multilingual speech, crunching sound effects and the inclusion of the ace Tekken Tunes option, which allows you to select your own soundtrack based upon whatever music you have on your hard drive. Best of all, is the way the game has been sprinkled with that aforementioned Nintendo fairy dust, to hilarious effect – more of which later. All of the sparkle, the motion blur, the way your environments physically alter your characters, it is all there. And what characters! They are absolutely huge, packed full of detail and animated beautifully. The backgrounds, and the way your characters interact with them are absolutely first rate. This is no mean feat when you consider that the game originated on arcade hardware that is comparable with the PlayStation 3. GRAPHICS: The Wii U copes absolutely fine with the rigours of Tekken, and indeed I was unable to distinguish this version from the 360 copy I already own.

Prime Edition, the recent 3DS game was a missed opportunity which provided a surprisingly solid game of Tekken, with a set of game modes and options more akin to an Atari 2600 game than an all singing stereoscopic 3D fighting game from the future. Warriors Orochi 3 stumbles a bit but has still given us a decent enough port that allows Wii U owners to satisfy their need to cleave through legions of enemies. Tekken Advance was a Gameboy Advance title which valiantly struggled to emulate the 3D fighting of the core game series, and retains a soft spot in my heart for that, goddamnit. ![]() Cripes, when I think about it, there has never actually been a Tekken game on a Nintendo home console, just the handhelds. Much like Tecmo Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series, Tekken is a gaming concern that has never been done justice on a Nintendo console.
