Tomorrow (it's already today in Japan) is June 6th, which means it's the birthday of Dead or Alive's relative newcomer Marie Rose. The latest spin-off of the series, Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation, is inevitably celebrating.

I say "inevitably" because of DMM certainly isn't missing the chance to launch a new gacha bringing back some of Marie Rose's special outfits. Did I mention that it's paid-only (you wouldn't want to offend Marie Rose by buying her a present with those worthless free V-stones, would you?), and the chance of getting anything actually useful in the form of a SSR costume is 1.1%?

But again, you're getting a birthday cake as a bonus, that you can give to Marie Rose (if you hit that 1.1% and unlock her) for more experience.

At least, we get a free trailer, and you can check it out below. Incidentally, last week's event is still running, and if you’re interested in my point of view on how to survive this kind of game, you can check out the eighth episode of the Weebcast.

If you want to play the game on your own PC (it’s only in Japanese but it’s fairly easy to understand) you can learn how to in our handy guide.
