While July 29 will finally let us settle the age old question asking who would win in a fight, an undead pirate or a Sith lord, Namco Bandai's plans for fighting game enthusiasts do not end with Soul Calibur IV. The company confirmed plans this evening to re-release the original Dreamcast fighter over Xbox Live Arcade this summer as well.Namco Bandai has shed little light on what we can expect from the port, revealing only that it will include all of the original cast, with Arcade, Training, and Survival modes on top of the obligatory local Versus mode. Additionally, the company has only confirmed leaderboards, leaving us to wonder if the release will let us take the Dreamcast classic online as we party like it's 1999.

That, or my nostalgia or SC2 xbox gfx takes over.
And seriously, can someone point me to SC3? I never ever saw it anywhere.

Word on the street is that it was horribly unbalanced and not particularly worth playing.

shut up.
:pouts:
VADER WILL BE AVAILABLE TO 360 VIA DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT, AS YODA WILL BE FOR PS3.
And Sony's recent improvement to the Store is a sign they are headed in the right direction towards building a better network. Come on Namco.

We are the "Meg" (of Family Guy) of this generation. : (
I think Namco's showing Sony plenty of love with that exclusive across it's platforms, save for Tekken DS. Plus, the PS2 got Soul Calibur 3 as an exclusive. Also, Sony got Ridge Racer 7.... okay, that may not be so much of a big deal, but it's an exclusive all the same.
I would love to see Tekken on the 360. (Would save me from getting a PS3) I would love for the PS3 to get a port of Soul Calibur as well. But it seems that Namco only gives a customized kind of love to individual brands of consoles.
Who knows? This could just be a timed exclusive, time will tell.

1. It's coming out for both 360 and PS3.
2. You neglected the mention of a new scrolling shooter, Infinitum, in the press release.

And I might not be the author of this post, but I personally feel that having one of the greatest fighting games of all time on XBLA is newsworthy enough on its own. Now all I need are XBLA versions of Jet Grind Radio, Crazy Taxi and Chu Chu Rocket, and I can die a happy, happy man.
Seriously Joystiq Crew, is there a way we can quickly alert you to these people doing nothing but advertising (poorly at that) these stupid things? It's like that guy who keeps coming around with the freeps3.com shit.

As for the announcement... that's great, but I'll stick on the Dreamcast with a VGA Box and 2 Arcade Sticks (it didn't age much, for a welcome to the stage of history).
