It's a fighting game. That's what Nintendo gains.
The Wii U only has two from last gen, and isn't getting anymore. Smash is a party brawler, and Pokken was described by the creator as a "competitive action game." He didn't even want to call it a competitive fighting game.
That means all the Wii U has for fighting games are Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Injustic, and nothing in the future. That's pitiful for a next gen system.
DLC? What? Who cares about the characters? That's not the point. The point is to get a Nintendo an easy exclusive traditional fighting franchise, while also getting 3rd party support. Nintendo and Capcom characters are only important because they sell the game. Nintendo needs current gen fighters and 3rd party support. Capcom needs a good reason to sell a fighting game on the Wii U, and a new VS. Series. That's it.
