Yosuke Hayashi, the producer behind the Ninja Gaiden series (Sigma and beyond) stated that he wishes to make a crossover title between Dead or Alive and Sega’s Virtua Fighter. Something in the sense of what Capcom is doing with Namco now with Street Fighter X Tekken. Read what he had to say after the break!

Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi admits he would like to develop a Dead Or Alive crossover title similar to Street Fighter X Tekken.
Capcom’s upcoming fighting game combines two of the most revered fighting game series of all time, something that would have been unthinkable a few years ago when fighting games were unpopular and Capcom and Namco were competitors, rather than collaborators.
In an interview, Hayashi told us: “In terms of collaboration titles, there are staff on our team who just love fighting games and if there was any chance to do that we’d actively, possibly do that.
“The first 3D game I played was Virtua Fighter, that’s the IP I respect most. Virtua Fighter was the father of 3D gaming, so it’s very well respected.”
Dead or Alive; the super ninja-filled speedy action fighter. Virtua Fighter; the slower-paced realistic fighting simulator. A clash of different styles. This could turn out really interesting, or disastrous. In any case, I want to see it happen. Ryu Hayabusa vs Kage!
