Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will have “Nintendo-like” modes on Wii U

For the most part, the Wii U edition of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will feature most of the same content as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. But Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada has teased that there will be “Nintendo-like” modes on Wii U.
Harada wouldn’t say too much about this. He pointed to one example that was previously shown – making characters larger through the Mario Mega Mushroom. You can see this in action briefly here.
As for what else the team has in store, Harada wouldn’t say.
“Well, because of the controller, obviously there are going to be a few features that are more convenient because you can control them directly from the interface. But it’s not like the overall game mechanics are going to change that drastically. There are going to be some modes that will be interesting, because they are very Nintendo like. Some of this was shown at E3, where a mushroom drops down and Heihachi eats it and gets bigger. You know Nintendo fans hearing and seeing that just exploded with excitement. The things that we can do because it is Nintendo are things people will be very excited about, but we can’t go into it any further. That being said though, a lot of the online modes and customisation on the 360 and PS3 will be geared towards the core audience a little bit more.”
