Does Zack has contact to aliens?



As we know, in the end of the game “Dead or Alive Xtreme Beack Volleyball, the isle “Zack Island” sinks completely into the ocean after an eruption of a volcano.

In the intro-video of DoAX's sequel, Zack and his affair Niki try to get their isle back of the ocean's ground. Well, they are using a submarine to shoot a rocket into the stratosphere. A second ago, a big UFO appears out of a portal or another dimension and shoots a mighty energy beam which has the power to pull up the whole isle.

It is really interesting, that Zack is also in contact with aliens or the so called “supernatural” in the main series of the game “Dead or Alive 5”.

With a special Taunt-Move*, Zack is able to shoot a beam directly out of his eyes into the direction of his enemy - screaming “Zack Beam!!” At first, fans thought it was costume related (Cyber-Alien-Suit). The truth is, it is available whatever he wears.




Another noticeable thing is his second “winner pose”. He falls out of nowhere from the sky, lands really clumsy and then he tries to “act cool”. Where is he coming from? Can I assume, that he was beamed down from an UFO? If I dare to use the word “logic” in a videogame, then it is supposed to be really illogical, if it wasn't a beam down out of an UFO, if we talk about that special winner pose in a closed room.

A plane, a helicopter or a ballon are completely out of the question in those cases.




To emphasize that, I wanna take a look to the prequels of the franchise. Back in DoA2, Tecmo “Team Ninja” made a fictitious contatct to the “supernatural”. If you did beat the Story Mode of Zack, you was able to get the “The Shadow Man” outfit. That outfit offered a Taunt-Move, where Zack was able to get crazy blue flames in his eyes and his thorax. This was a homage to the main character of the game “Shadow Man”, which was released in 1999.

The idea about Zack and his contact to aliens, could only be answered by the smart heads of Team Ninja. The idea is really nice – I wonder, If we will get more information about it in the future?!


I will contact Team Ninja about it!

*Taunt Move / Provocation – you are able to let your character speak within a fight, by tapping a special button.

DOA5 Last Round Merchandise ( DOA5LR )


Oh dear!! What a nice gift!!

Well, it is not a secret, that I am a big fan of the DOA series. Since TECMO and KOEI became Koei Tecmo, the series grows and shines, which makes me really happy. Especially the fans of the franchise can be really satisfied. Fan-made outfits and tons of suggestions became real in DOA5 – what kind of company does that? Like really! This is so unique! 

!Thank you!


The community does even more! Within the last 4 years, I met really interesting and lovely people of the KT-family. Staff members of Koei Tecmo Europe like Chin (Community Manager) or fans like me. We are in contact, even we do live in different countries or even continents. I look forward to the day, we can spent some quality time together in person.

                             (Samurai Warriors 4: Empires Button - EU-Release: march 11, 2016)

This great gift was send out by TK's office in England. I will find a great place for my 
new Dead or Alive 5 Last Round merchandise dolls Momiji, Ayane, Marie Rose and Kasumi!

Thanks for being there.

All the best.
Keep on trucking.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round has power DOA5LR


Well, we all know, DOA5LR is a port from “last gen” PS3/Xbox360 and looks slightly better on PS4 and XboxOne. Even though it looks fantastic in some of the stages. The first arena, I have in mind is “Fuel”.



Fuel has 3 floors and offers lots of dangerzones. Once you hit the oil tanks, a siren starts and everything explodes and some parts of the area start to get on fire.


Beautiful particle effects everywhere and tons of smoke in various colours can be seen. After a while, the smoke alarm gets activated and water spreads out of tubes. This is great and gives you the feeling that you are in an action movie right now.


As previously said – DOA6 will come and if Yosuke Hayashi will be able to realize his vision of a high quality product, then we can expect a lot.

Dead or Alive 6 and Code Cronos Deutsch ( DoA5LR )


Der Endabspann von Dead or Alive 5 Last Round verrät uns, dass sich die Halbschwestern Ayane und Kasumi als Verbündete trennen. Wird es in der Zukunft einen „Guten Ausgang“ für die Ninjas geben?

Die Dead or Alive Serie sollte einen Ableger bekommen – Dead or Alive Code Cronus. Aufgrund von „unglücklichen Umständen“, ist dieses Spiel niemals produziert worden, aber...

rückblickend auf 2014, in einem Interview mit dem derzeitigen Produzenten Yosuke Hayashi erfuhren wir, dass Team Ninja an einer Fortsetzung arbeitet – Dead or Alive 6. Wir wissen bis heute noch nicht sehr viel darüber. Das Einzige, was man jetzt schon sagen kann ist, dass das Team die aktuelle Konsolen komplett ausreizen will.



Was kann man neben einer aufpolierten Grafik noch hinzufügen? Was fehlt der Marke? Es gibt eine solide Stückzahl an Kampfarenen, Charakteren und einem überragendem Gameplay. Eine Fortführung der Geschichte vielleicht? Ich bin mir sicher, dass die Geschichte in Dead or Alive 6 größer und besser als jemals zuvor erzählt werden wird. Es könnten endlich alle Informationen durchsickern, die uns zu so vielen Charakteren noch fehlen. Vor allem die neuen Charaktere wie Marie Rose, Rig, Nyotengu, Honoka, Mila und Phase4 könnten mehr in den Fokus gerückt werden. Auch die Ninja Gaiden Charaktere – Rachel und Momiji könnten mehr einbezogen werden – natürlich vorausgesetzt, diese sind auch im nächsten Teil wieder mit dabei.

Was wünscht Du Dir für DoA6 am Allermeisten?



Es wird noch eine Weile dauern, bis DoA6 angekündigt wird. Team Ninja arbeitet derzeit an Niho, Dead or Alive 3 Extreme Beach Volleyball, Ninja Gaiden 4 und Dissidia 3: Final Fantasy. Für ein DoA6 ist bisher nicht viel Spielraum in Sicht. Lasst mich aber das Eine sagen – behaltet Eure Augen auf die Facebook bzw. Twitter Accounts von Team Ninja. Dieses Jahr wird die DoA Serie 20 Jahre alt, feiert also Jubiläum. Vielleicht ist sehr bald etwas Überraschendes für uns am Horizont!


Wir bleiben dran.

Dead or Alive 6 and Code Cronos ENGLISH ( DoA5LR )



The ending of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round tells us, that the half sisters, Ayane and Kasumi leaving each other as allies. Will there be a “Happy End” in the future?

The Dead or Alive series was supposed to get a “side-title” - Dead or Alive Code Cronus, which should explain the story of these two. Because some circumstances, the game was never in production - but...

back in 2014, the current producer Yosuke Hayashi did let us know, that Tecmo's Team Ninja is working hard on a sequel – Dead or Alive 6. We don't know anything about it to date – the only detail we have right now is, that the Team is trying to squeeze out the whole power, the consoles will have then.



Beside that, what is the franchise really missing? We do have tons of stages, characters and an awesome gameplay. What could they add, that is currently not here? That's right – a new story part. I'm sure, the story of DOA6 will be bigger and better than ever. It could easily explain everything we did miss in the past + the new characters like Marie Rose, Rig, Nyotengu, Honoka, Mila and Phase 4 could even shine more. The addition of the Ninja Gaiden characters – Rachel and Momiji could take a bigger part in the story mode, if they will be in the next game.

What is your biggest wish for the next DOA game?



It will take a while, until DOA6 will be announced. Team Ninja is currently working on Nioh, Dead or Alive 3 Extreme Beach Volleyball, Ninja Gaiden 4 and also on Dissidia 3: Final Fantasy, so for DOA6 is not too much space right now.

Let me just say this – keep an eye on the social media accounts of Team Ninja. This year is the DOA 20th Anniversary, maybe, they have something really surprising for us.

We will check it out.
