Tekken boss: Wii U GamePad “difficult” for fighters, Tag Tournament 2 ideas

Update: Bumping to the front page. Harada actually said “difficult”, not “distracting”.
Tekken was one of the first franchises confirmed for Wii U. At this year’s E3, we found out that the series would be making its debut on the console as Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
The game will make use of the GamePad, but series boss Katsuhiro Harada believes that the controller could prove to be “distracting” for fighting titles. As such, the development team is taking a more simple approach with the tablet.
Harada discussed some of the ideas he has in mind for the GamePad in a new interview, stating:
“Looking at the small screen and the big screen at the same time is pretty distracting for a fighting game. So we’re thinking of making it useful as a way of having shortcuts. Or, by making progressing through the game more convenient. Or by playing alone on the GamePad screen.”
