PSN Today: Grand Theft Auto III, Tokyo Jungle, Dead or Alive 5, Hell Yeah, more
Even if there were replacement referees judging a contest between the PlayStation Store, the Xbox Live Marketplace, and the Wii Shop, Sony would come out way ahead. And they proved why again today by dumping a massive quantity of quality games onto the PlayStation Store. All told, 17 new games are now available on the download service, and here’s a few highlights, starting with one of the greatest games of all time:
- After a slight delay, Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto III joins the store as part of the PS2 Classics line.
- FIFA Soccer 13 corner kicks its way onto the store in three different versions (PS3, PSP, and Vita).
- It’s the end of the world as we know it, but the animals found in the Tokyo Jungle (PSN) are cool with that.
- The futuristic Starhawk (PS3) is now available to download in both a full version and a special multiplayer only edition.
- EA’s underappreciated classic, Mirror’s Edge (PS3), is also available to download.
- A pair of fighting games, Marvel vs. Capcom: Origins (PSN) and Dead or Alive 5 (PS3) will battle it out for your affections.
- The absolutely insane Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit would make a hell of a download.
- And LittleBigPlanet PS Vita is now available to download, wait for it, on the PS Vita.
You can find even more new releases after the break along with a ton of new game add-ons at the PlayStation Blog. (more…)

Dead or Alive 5 kicks high this September
Tecmo Koei has informed Joystiq that Dead or Alive 5 will be released this September. The fifth entry in the series will be the first in the series to launch on two systems simultaneously (the PS3 and Xbox 360, naturally), along with the first game in the series without input from series creator Tomonobu Itagaki.
But you’ll actually be kicking high sooner than you realize as Tecmo Koei is adding a Dead or Alive 5 demo to the Xbox Live Marketplace (and very likely, the PlayStation Network too) on March 19. A demo will also be included with copies of Ninja Gaiden 3, which will be available in stores on March 20.

Ninja Gaiden 3 slices its way into stores on March 20
Ryu Hayabusa returns to slice and dice more demons this Spring as Tecmo Keoi has announced a release date for Ninja Gaiden 3. Ninja Gaiden 3 is the first game in the series not developed by former Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki as well as the first to be released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 at the same time.
And while we’re on this “firsts” theme, Ninja Gaiden 3 will also include the first time the public gets a chance to play Dead or Alive 5. Players who pre-order the game from GameStop will receive a DoA5 demo featuring Ryu Hayabusa and Hitomi. Meanwhile, those who place their pre-order through Amazon will receive a different demo, which features Ayane and Hayate. But if you buy the Ninja Gaiden 3 Collector’s Edition (available exclusively at GameStop), your demo will include all four characters.
The Collector’s Edition will take a $99.99 slice out of your wallet, but it includes a copy of the game, the DoA5 demo and a “Ninja Gaiden 3 ‘Unmask’ game art book, soundtrack CD, and a unique ‘Duel of the Masked’ figure.”
Ninja Gaiden 3 is also in development for the Wii U and will be available at the console’s launch, which is currently scheduled to take place sometime in 2012.

Dead or Alive 5 coming to PS3, Xbox 360 in 2012; debut trailer released
It has been almost six years since Dead or Alive 4 was released as a launch title for the then-new Xbox 360. In that time series creator Tomonobu Itagaki and publisher Tecmo Koei have parted ways, Dead or Alive: Code Chronos was canceled and a bevy of spinoff titles have been released.
Today, Tecmo Koei used their Tokyo Game Show presentation to reveal that a fifth game in the main series, Dead or Alive 5, is in the works for the PS3 and Xbox 360. While development is still in the early stages, Tecmo Koei and developer Team Ninja wowed TGS attendees with a teaser trailer starring Ryu Hayabusa and Hayate fighting in a warehouse. Be sure to check out the trailer for yourself after the break.
The publisher also refused to call Dead or Alive 5 “just a fighting game,” preferring instead to call it “fighting entertainment.” Ah euphemisms, where would we be without them?
