Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate Says Marie Christmas

The Dead or Alive series hasn’t had a new arcade release in over a decade. That’s going to change on December 24 when Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Arcade comes out. This is a port of the console game with one extra character, Marie Rose.

Marie Rose has different costumes like a Battle Suit, Gothic Lolita style, and a Santa dress called "Marie Christmas."

Players can unlock new costumes by getting panel pieces. Once you have a complete picture you can use the costume. Player data like your GP (grade points), character points, stats, and costumes are saved to an Aime card.

Tecmo Koei also has an update for Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters, the free to play version, that makes Hitomi playable between December 19 to January 14, 2014.
