Up to four players on one system can take control of a character and team up for 2 vs. The game never forces players to adopt the fighting duo mechanic, letting them go it alone if they so wish, but to rebalance things out the solo character's health is constantly recharged instead of needing to be switched out for it to happen otherwise, and less damage is taken per blow. The Tag part of the game adds a new layer of strategy in the sense that one fighter on the team losing eliminates both instead of just that one, and partners can team up in certain throws when pulled off correctly.

Tapping upwards makes fighters jump, and holding backwards enables them to block strikes, making for the full roster of actions, which is as solid a system now as it ever was. Tekken's fighting system revolves around the diamond-button formation, consisting of two 'strong but slow' and two 'weak but fast' punches and kicks that can be strung together with crouches and throws to make combos. The game covers a number of classic Tekken tunes into effective stage remixes, and even allows players to choose which level plays which tune with the Tekken Tunes submenu. What a spectacle they are, too, with a rich high-definition output, luscious arena designs and a vast number of character archetypes and martial arts styles. As par for the course in most fighters, the story initially takes a backseat and lets the player get into the fights quickly.

Like its predecessor, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 takes liberties with the Tekken plotline and includes just about everyone from the series' history regardless of their individual circumstances. The tale goes that Jin Kazama, long-suffering inheritor of the Devil Gene that basically turns him into an evil destructive Super Saiyan, has won the Mishima Zaibatsu company from the rest of his family, and his uncle, Heihachi Mishima, takes a youth-restoration formula in an effort to win back what he lost in a new King of Iron Fist Tournament. As the name suggests, Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition is a sequel to the original Tekken Tag Tournament game on PlayStation 2, although not a direct storyline-based one as it follows on from the events of Tekken 6.
