Dead or Alive Xtreme Sense as First VR Sense Games



Written By: NyuNozomiHyuga

Recently, Koei Tecmo announce their first games that is coming to "VR Sense" arcade experience. VR Sense are arcade cabinets which features multi-purpose 3D seat, a "fragrance" feature to enhance the sense of presence, a tactile feature to provide unexpected surprises, a wind feature to give the feeling of movement, heating and cooling to convey the changes in the environment, and a mist feature to simulate the climate, like rain and moisture. These technology used by VR Sense is based on Sony Interactive Entertainment's Playstation VR. At the presentation at Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel in Tokyo, these VR Sense games will also be released for Playstation VR. Here's what Dead or Alive Xtreme Sense has for features:

The girls’ swimsuits upgrade every time you win the game.


Approach a girl and feel a faint whiff of her fragrance.


Achieving a high score lets you enjoy a fascinating “appreciation time.”

I'm currently at the Valley Forge Casino where NEC18 will be taking its place, which I will be fighting. Since Dead or Alive 5 Last Round has official concluded their DLC Season Passes with the 50th anniversary of Tecmo. But as of recently, Team Ninja had posted a tweet about the grand finals at NEC18:

Team Ninja Announcement for NEC18

thacmaster.proboards.com/thread/2103/dead-alive-5-thread?page=7&scrollTo=59737

Written By: Nyu Nozomi Hyuga

I was at the finals in NEC18, which DOA5LR was officially concluded. All we seriously had for "announcement" was stuff like DOA5 was released 5 years ago, the team was aware the amount of costumes they've had, and with DOA5LR support was officially ended along with Tom Lee making his speech on how much the FGC means much to him. (once the stream is over I will post the content on what he said once I return home) Were really not missing anything in terms on what the future of DOA has to offer, and I was bit disappointed this was all for an announcement not even like a little teaser. We'll be waiting for awhile for DOA6 coming up.

“We wanted to make a more cool and mature Dead or Alive this time, and to that end we made a conscious decision to make the characters less sexualized,”

www.ign.com/articles/2018/06/08/e3-2018-dead-or-alive-6-first-hands-on-can-team-ninja-balance-familiar-and-fresh

My thought: When I first saw that there was trailer for DOA6, the game did looked pretty cool and looked promising. But when this article came to existence, this honestly would make Me feel more worried about their direction.

“We wanted to make a more cool and mature Dead or Alive this time, and to that end we made a conscious decision to make the characters less sexualized,”

Wasn't that something that DOA5 previously did? If going for a less sexualized approach is whats going to happen for this game. Then I'll make a conscious decision to not buy DOA6, and let that game flopped. From someone who bought the collectors edition of DOA5, buying their DLC, going to tournaments to give sex appeal fighter support, and spent $404.89 on DOAX3 from Play-Asia this is a huge slap to face, DOA EVO Showdown 2018 might be the last time I'd DOA support.

"It goes without saying that this decision is heavily influenced by the fact that the industry is moving away from overtly sexualized female characters in general, but Team Ninja seems to have a concrete vision behind this shift in style."

That is incorrect ESRA KRABBE, the industry is not moving away from overtly sexualized female chacters since we have sexual costumes from some of SFV, Ivy's costume in SCVI, Senran Kagura, King's Raid etc. its just that Team Ninja thinking this is what Westerns want, when its just snowflakes that works in game journalism.

"If you look at the game’s concept art, you can see that Kasumi is no longer just a fantasy figure for young boys; she’s a warrior."

The character can still be a warrior and be a fantasy figure for young boys, it only just caters to a bunch of normies.

"Team Ninja has refrained from showing physical injuries on female characters, as they considered this to be something players would not want to see."

Because Team Ninja doesn't want a backlash about how this game promotes abuse towards woman.

That is what I have to say, even if DOA decides to try their less sexualized approach again (like DOA5 tried) there are other games that can provide similar content what DOA use to did like Tekken 7, & SCVI.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Yea. I'm not surprised they are going this way with all of the political correctness. But to be honest after the #MeToo and all of the other nonsense people are getting more and more tired of it.

I will say the trailer made the game look good however. Just a shame everything is going down this route. Also girls play DoA more than any other fighter percentage wise and this won't help their sales.

Surprise! DOA5 is Coming to EVO!

teamninja-studio.com/doa5/lastround/us/evo.html

DOA6 will be Playable at EVO 2018!

teamninja-studio.com/doa6/us/events.html

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The excitement of esports, "DOA"
- First of all,please tell me how the development of"DOA 6" was decided.

Shinbori's　previous album "DOA 5" is a cumulative total of 1 million packaged versions, the basic free version has exceeded 11 million downloads, and those who are still playing today are continuously increasing all over the world.KOEI TECMO GAMES As a whole, it is still a title that can be continued, but as a development team I was feeling strongly that I wanted to submit a sequel, and I was gradually promoting research and development.In December of 2017,I declared that I will finish releasing and updating the download contents of"DOA 5 last round", but I also consulted with the producer Yuusuke Yusuke (Mr. Yosuke Azaya), and at about the same time, "DOA 6The development of full-scale development.

- In "DOA 5", Mr. Azaya was a producer and Shinbori was in charge of the director.In "DOA 6", Mr. Shinbori seems to be concurrently serving as producer and director.

Shinboro　Yes.I've been playing fighting fighting games since long ago, so I am really happy with the development of the esports industry in recent years, and that's whyI wanted to join the"DOA" seriesin that swell.So, as a result of consulting with Azaburo as he wanted to take charge of promotion etc. at the same time while making a game, I was in charge of both the producer and the director.I will devote more passion and love to the"DOA 6".

- Iwould like toaskyou what kind of gamesuch "DOA 6" will become.First of all, we are told that the release date is scheduled for the beginning of 2019 ... ....?

Shinbori　Although I can not answer about how long it is "the beginning", I hope I can tell you as soon as it is decided.

- Please let me know as soon as you decide!Next,whatis the theme ofthis "DOA 6"?

Shimabori　's theme is "fighting entertainment".The previous work sang "fighting entertainment", drew a flashy battle that fought with both entertainment and fighting but I think that I would like to pursue even more "fierce" in this work.One way to do that is to try "taboo".For example, although it may contaminate the body and clothes as a staging of the fight so far, only the girl's face was not hurt.However, as you can see the main visual on which haze was drawn, in this work girls will get hurt by fighting even girls.Also,there was a promise thatthe "DOA" series will not introduce things like "super hit killer gauge" for generations.However, we introduced a "break gauge" this time, so that we will break it.

- Game and visual seem to change considerably, do not you think?

Shinbori:　That's right.Regarding the visual aspect, I wanted to make the expression of the skin more realistic this time, for example, the expressions of sweat, shadows, wrinkles are more powerful than the previous work.After all, if you fight a fierce fight, your face will get dirty and you will get scratched on your body.I had been looking at it as a taboo until now, but this time I made it dirty, scratched and bleeding.

- How about powering up the stage?

Shin　Nippori is based on the specifications of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One generation.When it is "5", it was PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 generation, so the specifications of the game hard raised, of course, the graphics such as the background are also powered up.Because PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, and PC are also planning to correspond to 4K resolution, you can enjoy battle with a clearer screen.Perhaps the character's skin may look more beautiful.

- In "DOA 5", "soft engine" to express the texture of the human skin was talked about, is it also introduced in this work?

Shinbori　"DOA 6", soft engine is not used.Instead, I used another drawing engine, and the whole visual is evolving.This time,we were finally able to undertake the physical lighting that we could not dowith "DOA 5", so that characters and backgrounds can be drawn more realistically.Also, the number of moving parts of the character 's face has also been increased, making it more expressive.I want to show you various "face" in the future, not only expression of emotions such as crying and laughing, but also a reaction when I was beaten my face.Of course, as a result of pursuing real, I think that more natural expression will come out.

- Kasumi's costumes are not cool sneaky clothes, it's a cool ninja suit.

As　a visual image ofShinborias a whole, this time I am planning to draw a character for "coolness".After all,there is an opinion that"DOA" series is "It is embarrassing that girls are too sexy and play."Indeed, when I went to last year's "EVO 2017" (the World Tournament of Fighting Fighting Games held in Las Vegas every year), the fans gave me the opinion that "I want you to make it a bit cooler game."There are also such things, this time,we value the parenthesis so thateveryone inthe players can be proud of being a player of"DOA".

- That's why the costumes of the characters are also changing greatly.

What I　referred toShinboriimage is recently American cinema movie.I have loved American chef since long ago ... ....Old American female heroes were many sexy things with body lines emphasized, but now they are changing to sharp and cool things.Looking at it, "DOA" alsothought about how todraw varietyin how todraw characters.

-There was also a feeling thatthe expressions oflovelynessand sexynesswere completed by"DOA 5".Iam looking forward to think that you can seea new image "DOA"from now on.

　Of course I am thankful that you are endorsed byShinboriKawasaki's part, and I do not want to make cute girls at all, never give up.However, the main focus is put on "coolness".In that sense,I think thatthis workwill be the turning point of the"DOA" series.

What character do you care about?Game mode?
- Currently, the participation of six people participating in Masaki, Ryu Hayabusa, Hayate, Zach, Jean Lee, Elena has been announced.Besides, what kind of characters will appear?

Shinbori: Because　I am a fighting fight gamer, I know that the participating characters are worrisome, but I can not say as a producer yet (laugh).Many characters will appear, so I hope you will have fun.

- One Chan, I thought that ... ... but I am sorry (laugh).In the "DOA 5" series,collaborative characters were participating inthe "Virtua Fighter" series, "The King of Fighters" series, "Sengoku Musou" series, but will collaborate characters compete in this work?

Since ShinboriHonkuwants to start firmly with the world view of　"DOA 6", he will not participate in the game at first.And what's worrisome after release ... nothing has yet been decided.

- So, in the first appearance characters etc ... ...?

Shinbori It　is a fighting fighting game to truth, so we have prepared characters that are first appearing.However, here is another report ... ....

--understood!I am also looking forward to it.By the way, speaking of the"DOA" series, abundant costumes are also attractive.Doyou evenconsider"DOA 6" to change costumes or download content?

　ChangingShinboricostume is of course possible.At the stage of costumes to put in the package, the CG team is doing my best thinking of preparing as many costumes as possible.However, since the development from there is still under consideration, I think that I can tell as soon as it is decided.

- In "DOA 5", the story mode which enjoyed abundantly a magnificent story and a cut scene was also popular.Is there a story mode in this work?

Shinboro　Yes.In "DOA6",a story mode of"DOA 5" or more is prepared.

- "DOA 5" was a style that story line advances while focusing on each one.

Since Shinbori　"DOA 5" focused on the character, there was no pillar of the story, and users received the opinion that "the whole story is not understood" from the users.So this time, I think I will draw so that I can understand the main line firmly.

- As for the time axis, which is it going to be?

Itis a little afterShinbori　"DOA 5".Details of the story etc will also be talked little by little in accordance with the release of the character in the future.

--I am looking forward to it.So, I'd like to ask about other game modes, but is there a training mode?

Shinbori　Of course we are preparing.Training mode, as before, the number of frames of the technique (such as the time taken to put out the skill, the time from the start to the end of the motion of the technique, etc.) and the rigidity difference (when you make a guidance or guard You can practice with a style that you can grasp everything, such as which of the other party you can move and how quickly you can move.However, such data is for advanced users.I think that the problem of the fighting fighting game is the problem of the current situation, how much novice can create an environment where practice and learning are easy to do.The tutorial of"DOA 5" ran from 1 to 10, even in this mode it tells us as much as possible, but it is difficult for beginners to be caught suddenly, but it is difficult to remember.So, I am planning the game design, so that I would like to learn the system while enjoying playing and enjoying the process of gradually progressing.

-Speaking of"DOA", there are also popular modes in which photography can be enjoyed using the replay function etc. Is there also in this work?

Shinbori　There is still a "DOA" series, so we are preparing.By the way, the gravure movie is not in the current schedule.This time, you should shoot cool photos!

- Next, I will ask about the stage.This time it is said that "Mass Destruction" and "Rumble Danger" will also appear as a new Danger (Stage Gimmick) .... First of all, please tell me about "Mass Destruction".

Shinbori　"Mass Destruction" is literal translation "mass destruction".If you blow off your opponent normally and hit it against drums or wooden boxes on the stage, destroying those obstacles will slightly increase the damage.However, like a "breakblow", if you devise a technique to blow your opponent gently, you will be able to penetrate the obstacles and blow them away while destroying them, giving you great damage.This is "Mass Destruction".Since obstacles will not resurrect, if you activate this danger first, you will not receive "mass destruction" yourself.

--I see.So, what about "Rumble Danger"?

Shinbori　"Rumble Danger" is a gimmick that audiences take over and push back when they blow away their opponent.Since the opponent pushed back is unprotected, you can continue combo.Even in the air combo, it will be pushed back when you hit the crowd, so fighting with it will be important.

- Danger seems to be more important than ever.Is there also a factor of "tag battle" that was prepared after"DOA 2" this time too?

Shinbori:　No, there is no tag battle.That's why resources were consolidated into one-on-one matches in order to draw what I wanted to draw.Also, there are circumstances that the tag battle is hardly played.Originally, I love Tag Battle and Iwas playing the"DOA" series, so I really want to introduce it, but I abandoned this time due to disconnection.

- Well, that means putting emphasis on the one - on - one fight.By the way, do you plan to have a trial version or beta test?

In　the area where you can experienceShinbori, we plan to have a test run at the event.First of all, we are planning to participate in E3 (Japan time only from 13th June 2018, a game show starting in Los Angeles, USA) but limited to media.The perfection degree is less than 10% and it is still at the prototype level, but I thought it was important to exhibit.Even in this state, if you can feel the interestingness of the game it will be a huge success, and even if you find a reflection point temporarily, you can do it by reflection and correction and then take advantage of it.First I wanted an evaluation.On the other hand, I do not know about the trial version yet.As I mentioned earlier, it's still the future title.

- Fighting fighting games have a locke test, and I think that players will be delighted with such opportunities, so please do!By the way, "DOA 5" also realized arcadeization, how is this work?

Shinbori　This is also under consideration.Since the full-scale development of this work is still just decided, it is a previous story.

- The other day,it was announced that a competition of"DOA 5 last round" will be heldas a side tournament of "EVO 2018".Again,was it one of the measureslinkedto"DOA 6"?

Shinbori As I mentioned in the　beginning, I felt likeputting"DOA" onthe flow of esports.It was the first time that I went to EVO, which was the first time last year but I was really moved by the spectacle that people well beyond 1000 people are absorbed in fighting fighting games.And, "I think that it is funny that"DOA"does not participatethough there is this excitement!" I decided to enter.Of course I wanted you to take it as a main tournament (Editorial note: the side tournament is smaller in scale than the main tournament), we do not have the game to release (latest game).So, first ofall, we decided to give an opportunity to reply to the players of the"DOA 5 last round", so we will have an event here.

- By the way, are there any plans to exhibit the test stands etc on "EVO 2018"?

I think that many people ofShinbori　"DOA" fans will come, so I think that I would like to prepare an environment to play but the content is undecided.EVO is in August and I still have time (laugh).If it is decided in various ways, we will also make it public so please be patient.

--understood.Finally, please give a message to fans who are looking forward to this work.

Thank you very much for everyone who is still playingShinbori　"DOA 5 last round" still.And, everyone who waited for the new work, I kept you waiting very much!FinallyI was able to announce" DOA 6".We will make something that everyone can enjoy, so please wait for a while keeping expectation.

I honestly think this is one of the worst places to getting opinions from fans, especially since we have the internet like game developers use twitter.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Yea most of these opinions are biased from people who don't even play the game. That said they are trying to grow their audience.

This is a big part of modern games toning down games and homogenizing them to encourage the masses to play them. It's predictable but it sucks.

At least the game will be available on PC right away.

[Nyu Nozomi Hyuga]

Update The toned down elements has something to do with breast physics, there will be some cloth tearing, & will see what gamers want when its DLC

Team NINJA's Official DOA Series Summary Released

teamninja-studio.com/doa6/us/features.html

[Nyu Nozomi Hyuga]

Dead Or Alive 6 Builds On Franchise's Core Strengths While Renewing Focus On Inclusivity

The Dead or Alive franchise is infamous for its efforts to oversexualize its female fighters. That reputation has been helped along by the Dead or Alive: Xtreme spin-offs, a collection of titles that put all the women in skimpy bikinis as they play beach volleyball and seaside party games. The main series has also been difficult for newcomers to jump into, as each game lacks the type of single-player campaign that would help a beginner acquaint themselves with the combo-heavy system of strikes, holds, and throws.

Team Ninja's last entry in the franchise, Dead or Alive 5, did make an initial effort to broaden its audience by choosing to clothe the fighters in slightly more modest attire and write in a science-fiction story. However, the game still launched with the franchise's well-known mechanic of choosing your preferred levels of "boob jiggle physics," and DLC expansions brought many of the series' racy and fetishized outfits back into the game. The story mode also expected a certain level of skill from players, and since the tutorial system was a grind-fest of memorizing button combos, it was still difficult to learn the nuances of the game.

Dead or Alive 6 is trying to do what its predecessor could not and de-emphasize the sex appeal of its female combatants while also making the gameplay more approachable. The exaggerated jiggle physics are gone, and new mechanics and a more cohesive story are being added to help make the game more accessible. We spoke with Yohei Shimbori, director of Dead or Alive, at E3 2018 to further discuss the franchise's new direction and what exactly Team Ninja has in store for Dead or Alive 6.

At E3 2018, the only female characters available were Kasumi and Helena. I immediately gravitated towards the former, who's been the primary protagonist for the franchise since the original 1996 game. Kasumi's facial structure looks a lot older in Dead or Alive 6, and her new body model is a physically fit teen and not the oversexed supermodel child it's been in the past. "The boobs are smaller as opposed to before because we wanted the girls to appear more human. We don't want to reshape them smaller or larger just on a whim," Shimbori said.

Kasumi's outfit has also undergone considerable changes. She's abandoned her loose-fitting kunoichi for an armored bodysuit. Though not as noticeable a transformation, Helena is also rocking a new, more combat-ready outfit. "They'll be back," Shimbori said, when asked if the fighters' original outfits would make a reappearance in the game. He and his team want to make strides towards removing sexual fanservice from Dead or Alive, but they acknowledge that certain mechanics and aspects of the franchise are too ingrained in the series' DNA to abandon completely.

That seemed to be the underlying theme to everything Team Ninja had to show off at E3--maintaining the roots of the Dead or Alive franchise while taking strides towards making this entry both more approachable and accessible. Most of the core Dead or Alive experience remains in Dead or Alive 6. If anything, the more extravagant aspects of the franchise have simply been toned down. For example, you won't be high kicking prepubescent girls into spinning helicopter blades during stage transitions, but new stage hazards, like bystanders who trip up fighters, maintain the constant need to simultaneously read the battlefield and your opponent.

The intensity of the combat has returned as well, made all the more brutal through a new system that realistically portrays the types of injuries fighters would sustain in an actual fight. A fast roundhouse kick to Kasumi's face left a visceral cut across her cheek, and getting repeatedly pummeled in the stomach left a noticeable dent in her body armor. "This is an intense fighting game. Female or male doesn't matter. They are going to get dirty. They are going to get damaged. Their faces are going to be injured. All kinds of things," Shimbori said.

I immediately wanted to know whether this new combat damage mechanic would be used for a new game mode. The injuries act as an easy indicator for figuring out how much damage your fighter is taking without even having to look at the UI, but Shimbori denied the existence of any type of mode where there wouldn't be a health bar. "We actually haven't thought about that, having that type of game mode," he laughed. He wanted to reiterate that this is still the same Dead or Alive, with the same recipe. The added mechanics and features are simply new flavors.

And it's true. Despite her new appearance, Kasumi handles pretty much exactly as I remember. The one exception was her new Fatal Rush and Break moves, which are both new to the franchise. Every fighter has their own, and players can unleash them after performing combos that fill up a special meter. With the click of a single button, fighters can lash out with a powerful strike, and continuing to do so engages a Fatal Rush that temporarily slows down time and dishes out some serious punishment. That same button can be used while in retreat to perform a Break Blow (counter) or Break Hold (parry) to immediately respond to an opponent's attack, regardless if it's delivered from high, mid-level, or low.

"Also, another reason: who doesn't love eSports?," Shimbori continued, in response to the inclusion of the new moves. "Spectators who watch the game can more easily pick up on DOA6's action. The new moves create slow motion effects that allow the combatants a moment to check out their competition, the audience to see if either contestant is nervous, and announcers to catch up to the action of the fight. These new moves are as much for the spectators as they are for the players."

But Shimbori doesn't just want more of the eSports community in on the action, he wants the casual gaming audience to enjoy Dead or Alive 6 too. So Team Ninja is really focusing on telling a cohesive single-player story for any who want to play the game solo. "For Dead or Alive 5, we made one continuous story," Shimbori said. "We're going to continue that story in Dead or Alive 6. DOA5 had a problem, though, in that people didn't completely understand what was happening. It wasn't always clear. We want to use DOA6 to clarify the storyline."

Dead or Alive 6 will continue to tell a science fiction, so the evil clones and cyborgs aren't going away. Shimbori and his team just want to put a little more reasoning behind the twists and turns in the story and broaden its appeal to Western audiences. "Timeline-wise, DOA6 starts immediately at the end of DOA5," Shimbori concluded. "It won't be seconds after, but DOA6 picks up the storyline right after DOA5."

It feels like I'm watching a cheesy movie haha.

I'd normally have no problem pre-ordering, but I'm never sure how the netcode will be, etc. I generally end up waiting.

I also don't have problems with pre-ordering games, I'm also will be waiting as well because 1. I want to learn more about the DLC costumes, and 2. Also waiting for the feedback system to come into play.

"Team Ninja announced Dead or Alive 6 earlier this year as a more serious entry in the fanservice heavy franchise with overall toned down sexuality, but their special editions of the game appear to be keeping with their old ways body pillows and all.

The Collector's Edition and 'Strongest Package' edition were recently unveiled for Japan and include many of the goodies you'd expect with a special edition like artbooks and soundtracks... and mouse pads accentuated with characters' breasts and rears.

Dead or Alive 6's Collector's Edition is actually fairly tame, as it comes with the game, soundtrack, artbook, tin badges with character artwork, and a code for the content of the Digital Deluxe Edition which will retail for 12,800 yen or $115 USD.

The 'Strongest Package' bundle on the other hand includes special set of five posters that are treated to hang in the bathroom, a dakimakura / body pillowcase, three busty mouse pads — one featuring Honoka's chest, one for Marie Rose's booty and another yet to be announced — plus everything included in the Collector's Edition for 25,800 yen or $232.

There are 25 character pins included with the special editions which are leading many to believe that is the number of characters we'll see as a part of the game's roster at launch, and the mystery sexy poster and mousepad are also said to include one more brand new female character joining the crew.

Dead or Alive 6's director, Yohei Shimbura, originally stated that the team was making a "conscious decision to make the characters less sexualized" in the new game when it was first unveiled in June. While these bonuses are not part of the actual game's content, it does still muddy their overall message of wanting to create a more serious fighter this time around."








"Many female characters' mainstay costumes were altered to be less revealing like Kasumi's, and Team Ninja also previously stated that they toned down breast 'jiggle physics' to be more realistic in attempts to bring in a wider audience and also have a cleaner image for the eSports community.

There have been doubts on both sides of the fence as to Team Ninja's commitment to prior statements, as Dead or Alive 5 went down a very similar path of aiming at a more hardcore audience while toning down the sexuality before seemingly changing their tune and including hundreds of DLC costumes to dress up the ladies in skimpy outfits. It's also quite apparent that 'jiggle physics' are still definitely a part of Dead or Alive 6.

Team Ninja appears to currently be toe-ing the line between two groups of wanting to keep fans of the older titles that like the fanservice while bringing in a wider audience with wider appeal though it would likely be a tough road to stick with in the long run. Dead or Alive 6 is set to release in February 2019, so we'll need to wait and see how the game evolves until launch and even later with future content to find out Team Ninja's ultimate direction for the series."

So, much for toning down the sexualization. I can't believe people actually believed them lol.

Reminder I've already posted the collectors edition at Sep 11, 2018 at 4:05am post feat. DOA6 release date, strongest edition, & mousepads. The only tone down approach so far is how the breast jiggle, and how they push the fanservice which I'll post later. It looks like they're taking a DOA5 Launch approach.

Yep, downplay the fanservice when promoting the game and then after the game launches ramp it up.

So you think it'll be the same as usual? It seems the SJW stuff is growing old nowadays anyways.

After the Western branches of Koei Tecmo haven't released DOAX3 Fortune & Venus, along with Venus Vacation. You'd have better chances for Asian release English subtitles than you'd have with a Western release.
