I'd rather have tits in VF. Only problem with VF5 is that some people look plastic-y. But hey tits, Akira, and cutscenes.

If Tecmo *really* wanted to stick it to Itagaki they should have put Tekken characters in it...

Tits seem smaller and less jiggly. This is bad.

I always liked DOA's fighting system and am definitely interested to see more of this game. Sure, all the boob physics and panty shots are still as dumb as they were back in the 90s but I always have a blast playing these games.

I thought Dead or Alive games were fun, but I've always felt that Virtua Fighter and Tekken seemed more similar to one another. I'd like to see Akira Yuki fight Jin Kazama.

Akira's not too out of place considering that Dead or Alive was largely inspired by Virtua Fighter. What do you bet that they've made his moves much easier to execute though? DoA's a pretty mashy game, VF not so much.

Wow, the characters actually look good for the first time in Team Ninja history. They finally got rid of those obsolete X-Box character models.
