PS3 Virtua Fighter 5 - New Import, Restock Soon

NCS Update
   The majority of our preorders are shipping today. New orders placed on or since last Friday will ship on Wednesday.  If you have a preorder on file for the VF5 game and the VF5 joystick, we'll hold your order until both items are in stock so they can ship together in one parcel.


   Despite assurances otherwise from our supplier, please note that we only received a 1:4 ratio allocation of the Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary bonus disc today. The remainder of the bonus discs may arrive on Wednesday when our regular shipments of the game arrive. If this is the case, we'll ship them separately to our customers
(at no extra shipping charge) and post an update on our website.

   Furthermore, please note the VF 10th Anniversary bonus disc is a Japanese PS2 game CD-Rom which will only play on Japanese PS2 or PS3 consoles. It won't boot on a USA Playstation 3 or a Playstation 2.
 

 

From the Publisher
Sega continues its Virtua Fighter line in this latest installment.

   The game that pioneered the 3D fighting genre is back with Virtua Fighter 5, the latest installment in the popular series. Virtua Fighter 5 will elevate the arcade fighting genre to all new heights as the game promises to take true advantage of the capabilities of the next generation hardware. Virtua Fighter 5 raises the bar for console fighting games including all the features fans know and love plus enhanced gameplay mechanics, additional characters and new fighting styles, as well as newly redesigned 3D environments.

   Virtua Fighter 5 will deliver fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping action as players head into battle, taking on a host of popular characters. The game will introduce two new dynamic characters, El Blaze and Eileen, complete with new fighting techniques and from completely different backgrounds. Play as one of the 17 default characters in the game or customize a character to become the top Virtua Fighter. Players will be able to modify their characters by selecting from four base costumes and then decorate them by attaching a wide range of unlockable and earnable items. Players will not only achieve victory by defeating highly-skilled opponents, but also by competing for prizes and earning in-game money allowing them to buy many items at an in-game shop. Further building upon the depth of the series, players will now be able to move around their opponent using an "Offensive Move" technique, adding a new strategic element to their battles.

Game Features:

  • Two New Characters, El Blaze and Eileen, round out the cast of 17 dynamic characters. El Blaze is a Mexican wrestling champion that uses the Lucha Libre fighting style, and Eileen, originally from China, uses a Monkey Kung Fu style which she learned from her grandfather.
