Gameplay

Gameplay in Tekken Tag Tournament HD was virtually unchanged from the original game, however there was a bump in visual quality as the aspect ratio was changed to fit 16:9, and ran in full 1080p HD, running at 60 frames per second.

Plot

Both Tekken Tag Tournament and its sequel are non-canon entries of the series. Despite this, all of the characters have a real-time ending shown over the credits for the first character chosen when selecting the two fighters. Unknown's ending, however, is an FMV instead.

Characters

However, unlike the original, all of the characters are available from the start, a contrast to characters being locked in the arcades and PlayStation 2 versions of the game. Four characters from the sequel were available in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue.
