Tekken producer: Wii U graphics not relevant

The producer of upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has said it doesn’t matter how powerful the Wii U is.

Katsuhiro Harada said Wii U was capable of handling Tekken Tag Tournament 2 but people should be focusing on what makes the console unique.

Harada told Dusty Cartridge: “While developing Tag 2, since it’s very graphic intensive because of the multiple characters on screen, there was still some power left over for graphic capabilities so the graphics chips seems to be pretty decent.

“But to be honest, that’s not really even relevant, because people seem to be focusing too much comparing the raw specs to other hardware. You really have to be looking at the capabilities and what features it has.”

Harada said the opportunity to migrate gaming from the TV to the GamePad is a unique experience.

He added: “For example, if you’re playing Tag 2 on the Wii U at home and your parents get mad at you for taking up the TV too much, you can just take it to your bed and start playing there.

“Being able to take a high end game and play it in your bed is something that’s really unique so that’s the thing people are kind of missing.”
