Virtua Fighter 5 National Tournament

If you attended the VF5 National Tournament earlier this year at the Differ Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan then you can relive the Virtua Fighter 5 love that was present. Enterbrain captures the electricity, the friendly competition, and the feel-good excitement of the event where teams of Virtua Fighter 5 players faced off against other teams for the top prize. Since the VF5 game requires a fairly intensive amount of time investment to become a tournament level player, it's a rare occurrence to be able to watch players with different styles going at each other with deft skills.

The DVD spans 240 minutes of grappling action where Akira, Jacky, Sarah, and the rest of the gang battle along with footage from the floor, the spectators, the crowds, and the challengers. For the record, the Arena has a capacity of 1200+ seats and is normally used for professional wrestling and fighting events. Fitting then that so many virtual fighters attended.

Please note that the DVD is a Region-2 disc that is only compatible with Japanese DVD players or all-region players. It will not play on a USA territory (Region-1) DVD player.
