Dead or Alive 5 Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Santa is kicking ass and taking names.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear…or kicking some butt in Christmas themed gear available now for Dead or Alive 5. Team Ninja is adding Santa suits for each fighter through six brawler-specific bundles.

Some of the characters appeared to have made the naughty list this year while others are not getting coal in their stocking.

Available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, each spirited selection will cost 240 Microsoft Points or $2.99. Gamers can also purchase two larger packs for 640 Microsoft Points or $7.99 to see more festive fighters.
