A playthrough of the unplayable character (and technically guest character) Irene Lew in Tecmo/Team Ninja’s Dead or Alive Dimensions.

Now this is pretty cool. Irene here is actually a guest character, given that she debuted originally in Ninja Gaiden back in 1988. Despite being a pivotal character to Hayabusa she’s never been playable, but as she’s an NPC in Dimensions it means I’m able to play as her through hacking here.

I have to say, she seems a little bit under-detailed to me. It doesn’t quite seem to have the shading and the detail of most of the playable characters, which makes sense certainly, but it is a touch jarring. She also looks, I dunno, younger here than she does in the newer Ninja Gaiden games; they basically retouched her to fit the look of the DOA series more, but I actually think it does a bit of a disservice to her character. Given that she’s an important NPC in both Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, there’s again something just really satisfying about getting to do a playthrough on a character through hacking who has never otherwise been playable.

Up next, one of the big bads of the DOA franchise.
