So, what do you guys think? Feel free to post a comment below!
I, for once, am very excited about Dead Or Alive: Dimensions. I'm completely shocked that Nintendo would allow this game on its system. But honestly, Nintendo needs more fighters; and this, along with the usual (Mario Kart, Zelda), if what I'll be purchasing on day one.
