Virtua Fighter’s Akira will either be Dead or Alive

Team Ninja likes playing with other people’s toys. After making a pretty decent Metroid game for Nintendo and borrowing Samus for a cameo in Dead or Alive Dimensions, Team Ninja is looking fondly at Sega’s Virtua Fighter series.

The good people at VG24/7 report that Akira of Virtua Fighter fame will be making an appearance in Team Ninja’s upcoming Dead or Alive 5. Screenshots and videos have already flooded the Internet and, so far, it looks to be a good match. Hopefully this might lead to more Sega crossovers down the road.
