Hands-On With Dead Or Alive: Dimensions And Its Unusual Controls

How do you do a fighting game on the 3DS? You do it the Super Street Fighter IV way or this Dead or Alive way. Pretty similar. Touch-screen is optional but helpful for those who are fighting-game-challenged (like me).

Note that Dead or Alive Dimensions, a ā€œlaunch windowā€ game for the Nintendo 3DS, will also answer many of the unanswered questions in the Dead or Alive series. Thatā€™s what the press guy from the gameā€™s publisher Tecmo told me. He seemed dead serious, so I guess there really are unanswered questions?

What I canā€™t show you in this video is how good the 3D depth effect was in Dimensions. With the systemā€™s 3D slider turned up, the top-screen combat appeared as if taking place in a roomy, deep environment extending inches beyond the system screen. It was surprisingly cool and some of the better (and subtler) 3D Iā€™ve seen on the 3DS system.

The gameā€™s Metroid: Other M fighting arena wasnā€™t shown in the version of the game I saw. So youā€™ll have to look elsewhere to see it.
