Earlier this year, when Tecmo Koei announced it was bringing aDead or Alivegame to the 3DS, I’m pretty sure we were all thinking the same thing: “Please don’t be some creepy gift-giving beach romp sim game.” Well, it’s not — it’s calledDead or Alive: Dimensionsand it’s a fighter, andFamitsuhas the first details.

Well, I use “details” very loosely. Characters confirmed are Kasumi, Ayane, and Hayate; they’ll fight near a mountain and in Kyoto. So that’s confirmed. As far as gameplay is concerned, Famitsu didn’t spill those details only hinting that it may not play like a typical 3D fighter.
