Dead or Alive ++ was released on October 16, 1998.
Presented by Team Ninja (see 'Staff' section for more information).
This game runs on Sony Playstation-based hardware while the original Dead or Alive runs on the more powerful Sega Model 2 hardware. Consequently, this game uses 3-D arenas surrounded by 2D backdrops while the original Dead or Alive uses a fully 3-D environment rendered in real time. However, this game compensates with smoother, rounder character models and better lighting effects.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
