Classy post of the day: Dead or Alive 5 box and swimsuits

Dead or Alive will always be one of my guilty pleasures. I know I am not realizing the fighter’s full potential when my end game is to look at all the girls’ alternate costumes, but I don’t care, and you shouldn’t judge me. I know that there’s a solid fighter underneath its sexy exterior, but I’m shallow. Show me the swimsuits! 

Tecmo Koei has passed along the cover art for Dead or Alive 5, set to release on September 25. I guess it’s nice, but the newly revealed swimsuit costumes from the GameStop exclusive Collector’s Edition (available for $79.99) are a bit more interesting to look at. Maybe.

What would be super interesting is a swimsuit option for the male characters. Akira in a Speedo? Ryu in boardshorts?
