The Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will receive a proper introduction shortly.

There is news circulating on Japanese blogs that Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada accidentally revealed during today’s Bandai Namco Live TV show that the game will be making an appearance during Nintendo’s Wii U presentation tomorrow. It isn’t entirely clear if he was referring to the Japanese event, North American conference, or both.

In any case, look forward to an update tomorrow!

You’ll be able to play as five characters in New Super Mario Bros. U: Mario, Luigi, blue and yellow Toads, or a Mii. Other well-known members from the Mario universe have been left out.

In Game Informer’s latest issue, Nintendo EAD’s Takashi Tezuka told the magazine that the team did actually consider other playable characters.

Tezuka was quizzed about Nintendo’s decision to go with two Toads once again. He was additionally asked if Peach or a villain like Wario was considered.

Tezuka responded:

“We did consider that when we looked at which characters we would use. We really came down on the side of using Mii characters rather than some of the characters you had mentioned. Through the technology of HD, you’re going to see more expression and emotion on the Mii character faces. Of course, we’re going to continue making Mario games, so you can maybe look forward to some of the things you were asking about in the future.”
