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.
