Summer's almost over, so ladies of DOA 5 are getting in their swim wear fashion time while they can. Click START to check the slideshow!
Instead of giving us characters as DLC, which Team Ninja thought was unfair, the first set of DLC they'll be providing will be costumes. Those who pre-order the Collectors Edition from GameStop and Amazon will get "bunny-style swimsuits." GameStop will offer the "DOA Angels" set, granting players white swimsuits for Kasumi, Leifang, and Hitomi, and the "DOA Devils set," which offers black swimsuits for Christie, Tina, and Ayane.
Said TECMO KOEI America's General Manger, Amos Ip, "We wanted to create a truly compelling package of rewards to make our 'DOA Day' launch a day to celebrate for the fans that have made DEAD OR ALIVE synonymous with intense hand-to-hand fighting combat. Whether it's a stunning set of female fighter swimsuits for preorders or an entire luxurious package complete in an embossed metal case for the Collector's Edition, players will get something that enriches their gaming experience."
And for fans of DOA's physics for certain "body parts," you'll be happy to know these outfits will allow for that kind of "movement." According to Director Yohei Niibori, movement of "those parts" will differ depending on which costume they happen to be wearing at the time.
The collector's edition will also include a copy of the official visual book, a copy of the original soundtrack, and a full-color wall poster. You can also expect a new character, fighters Akira Yuki and Sarah Bryant from Virtua Fighter, and some no holds barred tag team action when DOA 5 is out for PS3 and Xbox 360 in September.
