NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today released exciting new assets for the upcoming TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 Wii U EDITION, available at launch for the Wii U system on November 18, 2012. The biggest entry in the TEKKEN series has gotten even better with exclusive modes, features and costumes that focus on the TEKKEN series’ more wacky and surreal side. The new assets highlight the return of the TEKKEN Ball mini-game and even more Nintendo crossover costumes from legendary Nintendo franchises such as: Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and F-Zero.

TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 Wii U EDITION gives players the unique opportunity to outfit the entire cast of the TEKKEN in special Nintendo franchise crossover costumes. The costumes announced today include Toad and Princess Peach from Super Mario Bros., the mysterious Sheik from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, as well as Captain Falcon from the futuristic F-Zero racing series. These are in addition to the already announced Zero Suit Samus, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Fox McCloud, Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf costumes.

TEKKEN Ball returns to TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 Wii U EDITION, after a long absence. Originally seen in TEKKEN 3 for the PlayStation, TEKKEN Ball lets players square off in a fun volleyball/dodge ball hybrid. Players must protect their side of the court by hitting a ball over to the other player’s side of the field. The longer players volley the ball back and forth, the more damaging the ball’s attack will be when it hits a player. TEKKEN Ball includes multiple types of balls with different speed and damage properties along with tournament and exhibition modes.

TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 Wii U EDITION delivers all the modes, characters and features found in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2, along with exclusive Nintendo crossover costumes and modes including Mushroom Battle and TEKKEN Ball.
