This is a part of the fun of the Tekken series: discovering new moves and new combos in battle. Most of the characters have a set of generic moves that are universal and a set of special moves. The basic control layout is that of two punch buttons, two kick buttons, and a tag button. Unlike some of your other tag team fighting games, if one your characters is put down, then your whole team has lost. The basic game play of TTT2 is to pick two fighters from a selection of over 50 characters and fight another team, till of you is knocked out. The sheer amount of depth, strategy, modes, customization and unlockables in this game is unprecedented. TTT2 is the follow up to the first Tekken Tag Tournament found on the PS2 and in arcades.

Yes, we have had a few Tekken games on the Nintendo portable systems, but now Nintendo fans can step into a larger world. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for the Nintendo Wii U is the very first Tekken game on a Nintendo home console. Now, we have a brand new Tekken for a brand new system, and this could be my favorite one of them all.

Over the years, I made my peace with the Tekken series and still love the world that it inhabits. However, when Tekken 3 came out, I was slightly disappointed in it due to the fact that it didn’t offer the same technical jump.

A few years later, I picked up Tekken 2 and was blown away at the graphics, storylines and detailed CGI. Later, I would play the home version and was amazed at how close it was to the arcade. I remembered that the graphics were awesome and the gameplay was just as good. The first time that I’ve ever played a Tekken game was during the mid 90s, just months before the release of the first PlayStation.
