Dead or Alive 5 Plus, the Vita version of Team Ninja’s latest fighter, will support Cross Play, Cross Save and Cross Buy DLC, Siliconera reports. That means portable players will be able to challenge PlayStation 3 rivals and vice versa; you can take your story progress with you when you switch systems; and any costumes you’ve purchased or otherwise obtained for your bouncing brawlers will be available in both versions. Dead or Alive 5 Plus is expected on March 19 in the US and March 22 in Europe. More details can be found through the US and EU PS Blogs.
