This information comes from Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada…
“We’re not sure yet. We’re still evaluating the hardware and we’re currently just seeing what we can do with the basic elements that we need to make Tekken. We’re not that far yet. Some examples you could think of for Tekken Wii U could be for perhaps something akin to a strategy guide. Before now you perhaps would have to go into a specific Practice mode in order to learn about your moves and your enemy’s statistics. Now, you could pull up that data on the controller’s screen while you’re fighting an opponent. There are many possibilities for Tekken right now on Wii U.”
Most Wii U games are very early on in development at this point. Since nothing is even close to being final right now, we’ll have to wait until next year’s E3 to see what these games will actually be like.

Square Enix staffer not pleased with lack of Japanese titles at E3
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
This information comes from Koji Taguchi, a senior executive officer at Square Enix Holdings…
“Because we merged with Eidos and had games like Tomb Raider, Deus and Hitman, as a company we were able to keep face. But the decline in Japanese titles was almost humiliating. This has been a week where I worried daily about how we can fix this.”
I was absolutely shocked by the lack of Japanese Square Enix titles at E3. I figured that Kingdom Hearts 3D would be a shoe-in for the show, at least!
Iwata believes Nintendo could have explained Wii U better
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
This information comes from Satoru Iwata…
“Because we put so much emphasis on the controller, there appeared to be some misunderstandings. We should have made more effort to explain how it works. We haven’t made any kind of blunder, but I should have shown a single picture of the new console, then started talking about the controller. The console is not drastically different, and Wii U is about the controller. The console itself will be almost invisible. There have been two groups of people writing about our announcement – those like the Evening Standard, who have been able to experience the Wii U, and those who have not, and are simply writing about it from wire stories and pictures. They cannot see how this can be a game changer. What Wii U will offer is very different, but I believe we have the strong potential to change the entire format of videogames and of entertainment.”
Those who weren’t aware that Nintendo was going to show a new console at E3 could have been very easily confused over the announcement. The console was practically absent in most of the pictures shown on stage. Heck, even some of the more hardcore gamers were confused as to whether the controller was just an add-on for Wii.
Ah well… Nintendo still has well over a year before this thing ships, so they have time to get their point across.
