PS3 Virtua Fighter 5

Preorders are open for the Japanese release of Virtua Fighter 5 which ships on February 8, 2007. The first production of the game will include a bonus copy of Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution reworked with the blocky polygon graphics found in the original game. It's the same VF revision included with the Virtua Fighter Memory of Decade book which was released in 2003... and is still available for sale from NCS.

Originally released earlier this year for the coin-op market and built on Sega's Lindbergh arcade system architecture, Virtua Fighter 5 will be exclusive on the PS3. The home conversion features two new characters - Eileen who fights with the Monkey Kung-Fu fighting style and El Blaze, a masked Mexican wrestler who grapples with the Lucha Libre discipline. A Training Mode in the PS3 version also allows beginners to hone their skills before taking on opponents in the Arcade Mode of the game. Pricing is set at US$73 and preorders are welcome starting today.
