Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Early access to certain characters included with limited pre-orders

Want to snag Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (TTT2) characters early?

Eurogamer has reported that certain TTT2 characters will be included as early access for limited pre-order deals. Namco Bandai will eventually release those characters free of charge on Xbox Live and PSN.

Early this month, TTT2 producer, Katsuhiro Harada said he was against DLC. This possibly eliminated any possibility of future DLC characters for Tekken 6. Harada's comment came fresh off Capcom's DLC debacle.

Tekken Producer: I don't like DLC

You get what you pay for.

That's the motto that Tekken producer, Katsuhiro Harada seems to be following these days. With controversy surrounding Street Fighter x Tekken (SFxT) DLC content being lock in the disc, Harada admits he's not a fan of paying for extra content.

Harada took to Twitter to explain to a follower why Tekken 6 DLC is unlikely. Take a look at what he said below:
