KOEI Tecmo Games announced at the "Dead or Alive Festival 2018" event in Tokyo on Sunday that it is producing a new version of its Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 game titled Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
The game will launch in Japan on March 20, and will feature the character Misaki from the PC version of the Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation game.

KOEI Tecmo Games published Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 exclusively in Japan and Asia for the PS4 and PlayStation Vita in March 2016.
The game's PS Vita version is titled Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Venus, and the PS4 version is titled Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Fortune. A PS VR support update for the PS4 version launched in January 2017.

Tecmo released the Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball game on the Xbox in North America, Japan, and Europe in 2003. In the game, players play as one of the women from the Dead or Alive fighting game series and partake in volleyball matches as well as other beach-related minigames and shopping. Tecmo released a sequel, Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, on the Xbox 360 in North America, Japan, and Europe in 2006.
The most recent game in the Dead or Alive Xtreme series, Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation, shipped for PS4 and PS Vita in Japan and Asia in 2016, and the PC version debuted in November 2017.

Just being pedantic, the ANN blurb in the op is wrong. Venus Vacation was never released on PS4 or Vita, it's PC exclusive.

Vollyball is completely stat based and automated, there are no minigames and it's based around gacha for swimsuits.

I wonder if Scarlet will be Venus Vacation on consoles, or if it'll be X3V+F with the added characters.

Not sure what TK is doing TBH, I bought the deluxe version of DoAX3 (still unopened till this day), but then they released Vacation and now they are "re-releasing" the same game but with maybe 1 added character.
Kinda bummed out by this stupid shit, PS4 should have gotten everything Vacation had, freely updated and not 3 versions of said game with possibly minor changes.

Even for TK it's a really strange and annoying move.

Is this any good?
I've been getting into creepy anime tiddy games lately and might buy it if it's halfway decent...

Same, have deluxe editions of Venus and Fortune, and bought digital copies so I didn't have to open them.

PS4 lacks a lot of stuff from Vacation, but Vacation isn't the same either. If this ends up being a merge of the two it could have a lot of content.

Take the playable Volleyball, minigames, shared swimsuit system from X3, throw in Leifan and the new girls, the new swimsuits and hairstyles, and the monthly events from VV, and there'd be a ton of content to enjoy.

I wonder if this is just going to be like some GOTY version of DOAX3 that comes with all the swimsuits and a better unlock method than the ridiculous grind that DOAX3 had. I already have DOAX3 on PS4 (getting my PSVR today and I'm really looking forward to jumping in), so I'm curious on what this'll bring to the table.

Post screenshots please....for scientific reasons.

If this has all DLC, I'll be gettin it - if it is uncensored. Like... I've been thinkin about buying the game from play-asia for the past 2 month, but always thought that the DLC grind (and the HK PSN account stuff) are too many loops to jump through.

Too bad that they're still skipping the PC. Would've been nice to get it there.

I ain't buying the game again if it is just the extra girl and extra side stuff. Let me romance Marie Rose though and I will be there day 1.

What a Dead or alive Xtreme in a Nintendo Switch??


If they told me, I could not believe it,

I really like the freedom that Nintendo is giving lately. I could not say of the arrogant Sony, which is ruining more and more for the censored things
.
I already have DOA Xtreme 3 in PS4,I doubt much to buy it if only there are few extras. If they gave out Maid, Schoolgirl outfitl, for Honoka, Kasumi, Marie Rose and Hitomi, I consider buying it.

I lost my old Japanese PSN account so ive been needing to rebuy the game so this is a great announcement for me assuming Sony doesnt cut it to pieces or the Switch version can actually run it well. Blows that they're only adding one character though.

A pamphlet for the game lists the playable characters, with the original 9, Misaki and "???". Collectors edition also has swimsuit DLC with 11 items in it, so it seems ok to say another character is confirmed, but whether it'll be Leifan (who came 10th in the character poll) or whether it'll be one of the other 3 new characters, we might not know for a little while.

Sad to see I won't get both Tamaki and Leifan, but I'd be happy with either.
 
With everything going on at Sony, the release hitting two consoles, and the previous handling of Xtreme3, this will probably be an interesting game to follow, up to release. I'm conceptually open to grabbing a copy, depending on how everything shakes-out.

Two characters would be nice. It's still just ridiculous how many characters are missing though.

So if I want this new stuff I have to rebuy the whole game, even though I bought it for full price when it came out on ps4?

No one is stopping temco/ team ninja to release this game in the west. They are scared shitless to do so.

Sony isn't going to censor this shit because TK is a big Japanese publisher. They just want to impose it on small niche devs in order to preserve their moral bullshit.

If they do that, it will just show once again how hypocritcal the whole "stance" is. I really hope that someone there gets a clue and realizes how bad the optics of that would be...

KT showing real dedication here.

They know it's hypocritical, and they don't care. Them and the press will be all too happy to point out that only gamergaters "losers" care about that move being hypocritical.
The plan is to gentrify gaming by making it inhospitable to certain types of "unwanted" (dirty, low-IQ, etc - you know the drill) audiences.

So the Nintendo Switch version is also Japan only? Could owners of an American PS4 successfully play this game like the original? If I recall didn’t it have English voiceovers or something?

So, seems PS4 version will still have VR (unless Sony tell them no at the last minute).

Besides that it confirms a second new character, mentions balance changes to levelling and earning money, Switch version has items the PS4 version doesnt (an item to force swimsuits to fall apart; on PS4 it'll only happen during events, and PS4 lacks the skincare options that let you change the firmness of the girls assets, while Switch will have it).

Switch will also get a free to play version, and the new characters will be DLC for PS4s Fortune, too.

The removal of the skincare and swimsuit destruction items from the PS4 version makes me a bit suspicious.

Team Ninja Dog are goddamn losers, they are nothing without Itagaki, Ehara, Matsui, Okamoto etc. What a shame. I'd rather replay the first two games.

Wonder how much more is going to get censored under the PS4, surprise there’s a VR mode fit it though so maybe it’s not all bad news for fans? Unless they take that out too at the last minute.

... Its honestly like the twilight zone that Nintendo is offering less censorship than PlayStation.

The T&A is over the top in my opinion, but I've been wanting to play a new volleyball game since Beach Spikers on Gamecube. I know the Switch is region free, but how does the language work for games like this? Would I be able to buy the Japanese version, set the language to English and basically be unaware that it's a Japanese game?

California claims another victim.

If only more companies moved their headquarters to Texas. But SJW's are quickly making their way there too.
