Nintendo’s IPs are fairly well-represented in Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition. There are various costumes from the Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, and Metroid franchises.
In case you were wondering though, there won’t be any Kirby costumes. Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada confirmed the news, but also teased that more costumes will be shown in the near future.
San Francisco, CA – September 19, 2012 – Unity Technologies (http://unity3d.com/), provider of the Unity multi-platform engine and development tools, announced that it has entered into a worldwide license agreement with Nintendo to provide a version of Unity which supports deployment to the Wii U™ to Nintendo and third-party developers as well as Unity’s 1.2 million registered developers.
This extensive agreement will provide Nintendo the right to distribute the Unity development platform to its in-house, external, and third party licensee developers providing the large number ofartists, designers, and engineers intimately familiar with Nintendo gaming systems direct access to Unity’s powerful engine and highly efficient tools that have been specifically designed to enable developers immense creative freedom.
Amazon’s position on selling Nintendo hardware in the US has been well-documented. It boils down to the fact that the retailer wasn’t selling the 3DS and wasn’t offering the 3DS XL for a long while either. Amazon’s US division also has nothing to do with the sale of Wii U hardware.
Unsurprisingly, Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime isn’t willing to discuss the relationship between the two companies.
He only told Kotaku the following:
“We don’t talk about our specific business practices with individual retailers, and so you’re not going to get any more information from me specific to Amazon or any of our different retail partners. What I can tell you is they are selling software, and [there] are resellers that are on the site selling hardware as well, but you’re right: Amazon as a direct sale company currently does not sell Nintendo hardware.”
Reggie was pressed further, and was asked if there are plans to change the situation. Again though, he wouldn’t comment.
Amazon was additionally asked for some perspective on the situation, but thus far the company hasn’t replied.
