Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi gives us his thoughts on the new Dead or Alive and the inclusion of Virtua Fighter characters.
"The history of Dead or Alive 5 and Virtua Fighter really played a role in deciding to collaborate with Virtua Fighter. There would be no Dead or Alive without Virtua Fighter. So when we decided to make Dead or Alive 5 we got the direction and we took that to Sega and said this is what we're doing in Dead or Alive 5. We're bringing it back after all these years and we talked to them about possibly using some of their characters to kind of celebrate the return of Dead or Alive with some of their characters as well."
