Ever since Team Ninja saw fit to send its female fighters beachside for a relaxing bout of volleyball, Dead or Alive and barely there bathing suits go together like peanut butter and jelly. As such, there's a new costume pack out that decks out the ladies in swimsuits that are a bit more "Victoria's Secret" than "Sports Illustrated."
The aptly named "Tropical Sexy Costumes Pack" leaves little to the imagination, and even less fabric to cover the fragiles of this fighter's femme fatales. This is especially evident for luchadora Lisa Hamilton, seen above, who has problems with exposing her identity, but no issue with leaving damn near everything else out in the open. Life's funny like that...
The pack's out now for anyone who's interested. Like other packs, costumes can be purchased individually at $1.99 a pop, or you can grab all 14 for $14.99.
- The freemium version of Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate includes four playable characters in Kasumi, Ayane, Hayate and Ryu Hayabusa. Other characters will occasionally be available during trial periods, or can be purchased separately. A training mode allows newcomers to get instant familiarity.
Included in Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate's roster are Ninja Gaiden's Momiji and Virtua Fighter's own Jacky Bryant, who joins fellow VF alumni Akira, Sarah, and Pai, along with returning Dead or Alive fighters Leon and Haya, and newcomer Marie Rose is due to arrive this Spring.New features consist of many features from the Playstation Vita's Dead or Alive 5 Plus, such as a new training mode, combo challenge, the ability to chose custom music for fights, and existing character changes.
Ultimate is a decent choice for fighter fans who may have missed out when Dead or Alive 5 first released last year. The game is out now for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. But you didn't click on this article to read, you came here for CGI ladies on sandy shores in skimpy attire. You'll find all you're looking for below, starting with Virtua Fighter's Sarah and Pai, followed by Ninja Gaiden's Ayane, Rachel, and Momiji, and then DOA originals Mili, Leifang, Kokoro, Kasumi, Hitomi, Tina, Helena, and Christie. And if that's not enough eye candy for you, there's also a trailer at the very bottom showing the ladies in motion.
