Sadly though you can’t choose who gets which costume, which spoils some of the fun. It’s a shame there aren’t more power-ups but it’s a fun diversion and good for getting non-fans interested.Įven better is that you can now dress up the fighters in cosplay costumes as Nintendo characters – and not just the obvious Mario ones either, but everyone from Link and Captain Falcon to Samus Aran and Fox McCloud. Mushroom Mode is a standard one-on-one fighting option and works just like the rest of the game, except with power-ups bouncing around the arena that inflate you to giant size, speed you up, or poison you.
The latter is the beach volleyball game from Tekken 3, and plays in exactly the same way as it did back on the PS one. In terms of extra Wii U features you get two additional modes called Mushroom Mode and Tekken Ball. That doesn’t make the game any less fun but it does it make awfully familiar. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 doesn’t want to change the world though, it just wants to make things slicker and more accessible – but otherwise the same as always. The new tutorial campaign and practise mode is excellent though, and a clear sign that Namco and others have finally woken up to the need to explain to ordinary mortals what all the buttons do. That does avoid the fighting game tradition of quickly having a go on everyone just to see their special moves, and then never going back to them again, but it also requires a degree of determination to get the best out of the game. What’s also interesting, and in complete contrast to something like Mortal Kombat, is that most of the characters play very differently – with often no common moves shared between them.
