anyone find it funny that the first real game in the series being released in awhile is going to be on 3DS and not 360???


No, the first game was on the PS1 if I remember right (or might have been straight arcade) but yeah DOA was all over the place long before it became linked to the Xbox.

It was originally an arcade game (on Sega's Model 2 board) but it got Saturn and PS1 ports.  Series history on consoles/handhelds...

  • Dead or Alive (Saturn) 1997
  • Dead or Alive (PlayStation) 1998
  • Dead or Alive 2 (Dreamcast) 2000
  • DOA2 Hardcore (PlayStation 2) 2000
  • Dead or Alive 3 (Xbox) 2001
  • Dead or Alive Ultimate (Xbox) 2004
  • Dead or Alive 4 (Xbox 360) 2005
  • Dead or Alive Dimensions (Nintendo 3DS) TBA
  • Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball (Xbox) 2003
  • Dead of Alive Xtreme 2 (Xbox 360) 2006
  • Dead or Alive Paradise (PSP) 2010

but how will we get his slightly disturbing. chauvinist flare that he adds to his games? I mean from those scans it already looks like breast size is droping...

 

lol

@NoirSon as a fighting game fanatic I was aware of that, thats why I typed "awhile" as in the last actual real DOA game was a 360 launch game. Since then its been subpar volleyball games, just found it interesting that it would release on 3DS is all. Nintendo systems have not been know for being fighting game friendly (that might change)

Nintendo used to be known for fighters too, though that changed with the N64 controller.  I think Street Fighter II for the Super Nintendo is still the best selling fighting game on a console at 6.3 million copies sold, Street Fighter II Turbo (SNES) sold 4.1 million copies. - source



@Foxtail   i was referring to more recent times. SNES/Gen era is kinda ancient history. and even then Gen has just as much fighting games as SNES.  I blame their crazy looking controllers with the Wiimote being the absolute worse for fighting games

Conversely, the Classic Controller/Pro is pretty easily the best 1st party pad for fighting games this gen.

Having a shit controller for fighters didn't keep 360 or PSP from getting them either, I don't think that's really the issue.



@jarrod  as good as that controller is ( i have one myself for Tvs.C) you cant really count that because it is considered a seperate controller. One would have to shell out money to get that, IMHO I think that could be the main reason why you dont see alot of fighting games on Wii. The devs dont wanna bank on the fact that in reality people would have to buy a completly diff. controller just to play one game. ask yourself how much people are willing to spend another 20-30 bucks on a controller just to play one game (I was, just because I love fighting games that much)  the PSP controls arent that bad. Capcom gave away some funky d-pad with Alpha3 and it actually works or you could use the old quaurter method and its not an issue with 3d fighters that dont depend to much on circle movements as for 360, that controller is just bad, dont know what to say about it



bouncy bouncy in 3D!
