So, you may or may not have heard that Koei Tecmo aren't planning on bringing Dead or Alive Xtreme to America or Europe for various reasons.
Luckily, the Asia version of the game (different from the Japanese region version) will have English text & subtitles and the PS4 & Vita are both region free.
Play-Asia had been advertising this version of the game for a while, but now Rice Digital also have opened up pre-orders for the PS4 & Vita versions, which would be a better choice for those of us in the UK as the price is a bit cheaper than Play-Asia and you won't have to worry about delivery costs and customs fees.
Here's the link for the Vita version, which is also listed for £34.99 (£33.24 with code SMART5) http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/store/dead-or-alive-xtreme-3-venus-ps-vita
This game might not be everyone's cup of tea, but those who were considering getting it from play asia could save a few pounds here.
Update: £42.74 with code SMART5 (Credit to BuzzDuraband for the info)

looks like a great game just going by the screenshots
Its a series where the last entry was released almost ten years ago, didn't do particularly well outside of Asia and nobody really cared that this latest game even existed.
A moderator on their Facebook page who had zero involvement or knowledge of the localisation decision made that claim in response to someone asking when it was going to be released in the west. Play-Asia decided to use that to promote the game on Twitter and only then did the majority of people even realise this game existed.
It was just a cheap, cynical attempt at signal boosting a game that few cared about through the creation of a false controversy.

Oh, I didn't know that code worked on pre-orders as well. I'll update the price on the post. Thanks for the info!

Awesome! £5 cheaper than Play Asia and will probably ship from UK. Regarding those who think this is porn are way of the mark. Its just a bit of otaku fan service within a highly polished world of babes,boobs, beach volleyball and one of the most addictive casino's outside of a real casino. Collecting the costumes becomes an obsession :laughing:

The franchise does have its knockers.

Wow, this got pretty popular overnight.
I was considering that version as well, but decided to get the regular edition of both versions for around the same price as one LE
Let's not get into anti-SJW or anti-Gamergate stuff as that can get a bit messy. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the view! :smiley:
I've used them in the past and they've been pretty good for importing stuff from japan. But it seems they only have the Japan version on there at the moment and not the Asia version with English subtitles.
From talking to people at pubishers like Marvelous, NISA, IFI, etc (those specialising in niche Japanese titles), niche and fan-service games can do well for the company depending on the fan-base. They'll never reach COD or FIFA levels of sales but since they're generally smaller games with smaller dev costs and marketing budgets, they wouldn't need to sell as much as some larger titles to make a profit.
I wouldn't say they fabricated the 'controversy', but more like they saw people were unhappy about the comment from the KT employee about DOAX3's chances of western release once it started to get more exposure and coverage on various sites, then simply jumped on the bandwagon to promote the fact that people can get hold of this game in English on their site (and started trolling the hell out of those claiming to be offended by their support for the game and calling for the site to be boycotted, the social media person to be fired, etc...). It's been interesting to watch :smiley:
Yaaaay! :smile:
That's a good point, although sales figures for Paradise on the PSP might be a better comparison, since DOAX2 was an Xbox 360 exclusive and that console didn't do too well in Japan.
Play nice everyone! :wink:

I played the first one years ago and spent all my time in the casino. I don't think my girlfriend would approve of me playing this now!
