Dead or Alive Dimensions (3DS)
Compete as one of 25 playable Dead or Alive characters to inflict heavy damage on interactive stages. Classic characters like Kasumi and Ayane along with more recent personas such as Eliot and Hitomi come together to retell the saga of the franchise in a never-before seen way. Through the Chronicle mode, one of twelve game modes available, players journey to reveal certain characters' pasts and learn how each of the characters relate to one another. Use social applications of the Nintendo 3DS via StreetPassTM in the Throwdown mode. Unlock special character figurines by competing with profiles of other fighters you encounter via StreetPass to add new depths to multiplayer combat.
Dead or Alive Dimensions also has a special stage for Nintendo fans inspired by Metroid: Other M, where Ridley will wreak havoc on all fighters. Another unique addition to gameplay on Nintendo 3DS is the use of the touch-screen. The touch-screen shows players the combination attacks that they can either master or tap to unleash on opponents.
Dead or Alive Dimensions is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB and is available for an MSRP of $39.99.

Family Farm (PC) - Europe Only
In Family Farm, the harvesting season is short with activities taking place in real-time, so players will need to manage their farm workers efficiently. They must prepare the soil, sow the seed and harvest crops, care for livestock and cook meals to stay energetic. Over time and when well managed, family members will improve their skills and work faster. External labour can be hired, but will be expensive. If the house is upgraded enough, perhaps new babies will be born, who will later contribute to the Family Farm. Farming was never this much fun!
