Tecmo Koei today announced that Dead or Alive Dimensions for the Nintendo 3DS is now available in stores nationwide.

Compete as one of 25 playable Dead or Alive characters to inflict heavy damage on interactive stages. Classic characters like Kasumi and Ayane along with more recent personas such as Eliot and Hitomi come together to retell the saga of the franchise in a never-before seen way. Through the Chronicle mode, one of twelve game modes available, players journey to reveal certain characters’ pasts and learn how each of the characters relate to one another. Use social applications of the Nintendo 3DS via StreetPass in the Throwdown mode. Unlock special character figurines by competing with profiles of other fighters you encounter via StreetPass to add new depths to multiplayer combat.

Dead or Alive Dimensions also has a special stage for Nintendo fans inspired by Metroid: Other M where Ridley will wreak havoc on all fighters. Another unique addition to gameplay on Nintendo 3DS is the use of the Touch Screen. The Touch Screen shows players the combination attacks that they can either master or tap to unleash on opponents.
