Well, if I remember correctly, the Wii U version is the definitive home version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2. However, most people who like Tekken aren't playing it on Wii U. Most Tekken fans are on PS3. The other bunch is on 360. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 didn't meet sales expectations on any platform. If it didn't reach it on PS3, then it did even worse on Wii U.
If I were to even pick up a Wii U, I probably wouldn't buy TTT2 again. I've bought both digital and disc versions for PS3.
As far as the game itself, it is the best Tekken I've ever played. I didn't like 6 at all. It was better than 5 but not much better than 5. So, it kept me playing and not wanting to go back to Tekken 5 while being disappointed at the same time.
As a PS2 game, Tekken 5 was great. Tekken 6 as a PS3 game wasn't great, but it was slightly, and I do mean slightly better than Tekken 5.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a great 3D figthter. But, like any 3D fighter, you have to know character match-up, learn frame data, learn how to mind-game your opponent. Most people don't like fighting games, and never stick around long enough to learn how deep it is, and assume it as some button masher, and unless you pick christie, or eddie, the game is stiff.
But, if you understand basic fundamentals of Tekken, a button masher will never, ever beat you. No matter how badly you're playing. If it's cheap, for Wii U, get it.
It's not a main entry in the series, but it is still a sequel to Tekken 6, in a branching timeline. More characters. Basic fundamentals will be useful and carry over to Tekken 7 when that game comes out on PS4 and Xbox One.
