Usually when a great game gets a "Super" or "Ultimate" version, it's usually just one or two added features, maybe a new character or two, but Tecmo is slowly changing that rule. The original DOA 5 was a great fighter, with excellent graphics and solid gameplay. Tecmo upgraded DOA 5 slightly for the PS Vita with DOA 5 Plus, but that was only the beginning.
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate launched 10 years ago today, and demonstrates why we need a new edition of the series.
Originals are great, but know what's even more special? When a remake comes out and tops it. Sometimes, things are better the second time around, and these seven games prove it!
Mai Shiranui from The King of Fighters will be added to Dead or Alive 5: Last Round in September as a DLC guest character, but she will actually be playable today in Tokyo for a location test on Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Arcade.
great review, game really deserves the score.
seriously one of the better re-releases of any other fighting games that do the same, SF, MVC etc, added a combo trials mode, incredible tutorial, new characters, tons of new free costumes, improved throwdown. cant think of anything bad really.
