The digital version of the game will be cheaper, but at the expense of a massive chunk of hard drive space.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition will be sold on the Wii U eShop, as well as at retail, when it launches alongside the new console.
In Japan, players who buy the digital version will make a small savings, as Namco Bandai Games revealed that the download will cost 6,280 yen, whereas the retail version is priced slightly higher at 6,980 yen. Pricing details for the Western release are yet to be announced.
The digital version will also require 16.7 gigabytes of memory. Put into context, the game will take up over half of the Premium Wii U's 32GB internal memory, while owners of the Basic Wii U, which holds just 8GB of internal memory, will need to plug in an external storage device if they want to complete the download.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition is an enhanced version of the tag-team fighting sequel, featuring the all-new power-up based Mushroom Battle mode and a slew of character outfits based on Nintendo franchises such as Mario and The Legend of Zelda. The game is expected to release on Wii U launch day in all territories.
Metal Gear Solid 4 apparently filled a dual layer BR (50GB), though how much of that is redundant data I'm not fully sure.or high rendered Cutscenes.

they can put a 320 gig hard drive in the wii-u for the cost of 32 gigs of flash memory and makes it happen.$20 (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=32gb+flash)=$50 (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=usb+hdd+320)?
this is great news, this answers a question we all had, will there be download limits. Apparently not. Another question. Will we be able to download movies?
..I seriously find the concept of PS3 trophies far more appealing than what they will offer on the Wii U.At the moment it hasn't been confirmed that they will be offering anything I've seen. Just rumors and hints.
Hard drives = spinning parts = more potential for things to go wrong, and higher repair costs. Seagate and Western Digital (the two major hard drive makers) have recently slashed their warranties down to a year when they would previously do 3-5 years.

"but is there a way to format half the HD so it can also be used for the Wii U?" Yes, there's free tools on the net but Nintendo hasn't stated what format you'll need. The PS3/Xbox has their own formatting tools installed for their internal Drives and Nintendo mgiht have it's own for it's USB?
TT2 for the 360 is an 8GB install but the PS3 versions is 17GB (like the WIIU) so I'm guessing it's uncompressed textures/audio that makes the difference?
Hopefully sound better. They'll probably run smoother video wise because they won't have to decompress."but is there a way to format half the HD so it can also be used for the Wii U?"

So are the PS3 and Wii U version's of Tekken Tag Tournament Two going to look and sound much better because they aren't compressed?
