This Wednesday: Soulcalibur still burns on XBLA
OK, so not so much a surprise on the XBLA front this week, since we brought you the rumor last week that Soulcalibur would likely be released soon on the service. (It'll be there this Wednesday for 800 points [$10]). But hey, Schizoid wasn't released like we thought it would be, so that's kind of a surprise, right? Not like, a great one, but a surprise all the same.
In other surprises that won't necessarily have you vibrating with glee, Wits and Wagers will be getting 280 new questions this week for 320 MS points ($4). In case, you know, you played it so many times that you ran out of questions.

you could probably buy a dreamcast & a copy of this for $10 now.

I miss Sega so much.
If only Segata Sanshiro had lived longer maybe we will be playing in our DC2 right now.Now He would be so ashamed of Modern Sega.
Live to the Legend.

Add another 0 to your $10 and you'll be right on. Thanks for your research.
Dadidito @ Jun 30th 2008 4:09PM
As Bloo said, do some research. For alot of systems that might be the case but not for the Dreamcast.
I have Marvel vs. Capcom btw.. glory... just glorious :)
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Jun 30th 2008 5:03PM
Lol what? If that were so, I would have bought one instantly. But sadly, Dreamcasts systems are fucking expensive.
Fernando Rocker @ Jun 30th 2008 2:07PM
Not a fan of this kind of fighters (Sould Calibur, Dead or Alive, Tekken, etc.)
Not saying that those games are bad, but I would prefer a re-release of any Marvel vs Capcom with online play.
FOXHOUND @ Jun 30th 2008 2:10PM
It would be nice... though it would piss off those guys selling the PS2 version for obnoxiously high cost on eBay. Not that I care. :\
Mr.ESC @ Jun 30th 2008 2:14PM
Marvel vs Capcom 2 FTW,I was never good at fighting games but MvsC2 was awesome.
Dan @ Jun 30th 2008 2:20PM
If they released MvsC2 on 360 I think the world would freeze over... goddamn licensing issues....
xFenixKnightx @ Jun 30th 2008 2:36PM
Hey Capcom, you want loads of cash? Yes?
Marvel vs Cap
Marvel vs Cap2
Xmen vs Streetfighter
Xmen: Children of the Atom
Streetfighter Alpha 2

DangerMouse @ Jun 30th 2008 3:03PM
they gotta feel like shit sitting on a goldmine like that and not being able to do anything with it. But i agree with SFA2, i don't know why they haven't put it online yet. I guess the SFA anthology is still in stores, but i don't really want to keep rebuying all these game. I'll hold out until they're sold digitally.
Dan @ Jun 30th 2008 2:19PM
Sucks how they cut out Mission mode... kills a lot of the fun..
And I guess Widescreen mode was too much to ask :-\
Roto13 @ Jun 30th 2008 2:37PM
They cut out the Mission mode? BAH! I feel a lot less regretful that I won't be able to get this now. xP
itsburnsie @ Jun 30th 2008 3:06PM
Who says they cut out mission mode? You have a source?
If so, it looks like I'll be hanging onto my dreamcast afterall.
Rocketboy @ Jun 30th 2008 3:19PM
No Shirt
No Shoes
No Mission Mode
No Dice.

As someone who never got into SC until SC2, I would have to say with the new SC4: Jump the Shark edition coming out I can't find one reason to buy this.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Jun 30th 2008 5:04PM
I can.
Nostalgia. And that's pretty much it.
A Pissed-off English Gamer @ Jul 1st 2008 10:49AM
It's worth it just for being able to say you have SC 1. Who knows? Maybe you'll hate the new-fangled finisher moves or the changes they've made to the combat in SC4; I know the weakness of side-stepping in SC3 was extremely painful for me.
xFenixKnightx @ Jun 30th 2008 2:33PM
No online, no buy. I already have this game stored away for Dreamcast, the only games that make me wanna pull that thing out are Marvel vs Capcom, Sonic Advent or House of the Dead2. I'll just wait on SC4.
NATO_Duke @ Jun 30th 2008 2:51PM
I had no idea Wits and Wagers existed.
Markusdragon @ Jun 30th 2008 4:28PM
Believe me, you were better off without that knowledge.
J.Goodwin @ Jun 30th 2008 3:18PM
Wait, no widescreen?
WTF?
animeman_59 @ Jun 30th 2008 3:24PM
Does this game have online play?
That's the only reason I'll buy this.
If not, there's no reason to buy since I have the DC version.
NATO_Duke @ Jun 30th 2008 3:31PM
No, I'm afraid there is no reason for you to buy this.
kobebryunt @ Jun 30th 2008 3:45PM
No online, no thanks
Joe Smith @ Jun 30th 2008 5:49PM
I am guessing that MS figures Soul Caliber will sell so well that Schizoid would be crushed by it if it came out on the same day. I bet we see Schizoid in a week or two.
