E3 10: Dead or Alive bounces to 3DS  photo

Everyone's favorite funbag-focused fighting series is coming to 3DS soon. Dead or Alive 3D will be the first major release (discounting PSP spin-off Dead or Alive Paradise) since series creator Tomonobu Itagaki left developer Team Ninja in 2008 with a bunch of staff in tow.

There is no gameplay shown so far, so it's hard to tell if the series mechanics will be retained in portable format, but it's probably safe to say that the game will feature the requisite jiggle and bounce expected from new installments. I'm just waiting to see the "creative" use of 3D on the series' shameless ladies.

Yeaaaaah I'm super excited about the 3DS and all, but this needs to at least have a console version.

Oh dear..

I thought Nintendo tries to keep things rated PG-13 or less.

Also, breasts.

Oh... must resist snark... must not be an ass... must... try... argh, no... defenses... failing...

I guess with Itagaki gone, they're free to FINALLY turn Dead or Alive into a fighting game again.

...

...I am so sorry everyone... he's just such an easy target...

an itagaki-less handheld dead or alive? I'm probably gonna pass, but I am definitely intrigued.

Despite the obvious "assets" of this game, its still one of my fave 3-D punch/kick games for its fighting mechanics. It was my fighting games of choice on the PS1 along with Soul Blade, and then again on the PS2 along with Soul Calibur #-something-or-other. Sure Tekken has always been great, but DOA was just more fun, with its crazy fast reversals and flowing fighting.

Perfect Dark was published by Nintendo ten years ago.
Eternal Darkness was published by Nintendo EIGHT years ago, less one week.
Both were rated M

Hayate and Raidou in the same screen? Uh. Raidou was killed in the first game, Hayate doesn't appear until the end of the second game. And it looks like they're in Tengu's stage too. Then Ayane has her DOA3+ costume. What is this madness? Prequel? Retconning to buggery? Why bother anyway, DOA has such a bad rep now that not many new players are going to come running to this and most of the core DOA fans got sick of the ninjas years ago, just look up any DOA community forum. If they're going to remake any of the games, retcon anything or reboot the series or whatever else, don't bother showing off the ninjas...

Either way, I'm sold. DOA was the second fighting game and the first 3D fighting game I ever played, way back in the arcades. I bought a PS2 primarily for DOA2:HC, an Xbox for DOA3 and a 360 for DOA4. Looks like I'll be buying a 3DS now.
