Tekken Tag Tournament 2 director Katsuhiro Harada was recently asked how the Wii U’s online infrastructure stacks up to the setup on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Harada’s response was a bit odd. Apparently, he isn’t too sure how Nintendo will be implementing the online network.
He said:
“Not quite sure at this point. I don’t fully understand it. We’re still working with Nintendo to find out about their network.”
Even with Harada’s uncertainty, he promised that the netcode will be just as good as the other versions of Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
At this moment it’s unclear if players will be able to select the Wii U exclusive modes online.

Team Ninja is planning several pieces of downloadable content for Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. Fans will be pleased to hear that the DLC will be free.
At a TGS 2012 conference today, Team Ninja said:
“After launch we are preparing a long list of free downloadable content for Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. We can’t give details this evening, but we can tell you that series fans are going to love it.”
For a long stretch, consumers weren’t able to purchase the 3DS XL from Amazon. That has changed as of now (though as this moment it’s being sold by GoHastings.)
The original 3DS still isn’t being stocked by Amazon, and the retailer’s US division isn’t selling the Wii U either. But maybe this is a sign that it will be selling Nintendo products on a more regular basis from here on out?
