At a recent event, Namco Bandai VP of marketing Carlson Choi revealed that the original Soul Calibur will eventually slash and stab its way onto your iDevice. While he wouldn't divulge any specific time frame for the game's availability, Choi said it would be available "soon."
Soul Calibur launched back in the arcades in 1998, and was ported to the Dreamcast in 1999 and Xbox Live Arcade in 2008. Expect this iOS port on both the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad.

Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

It's on iOS already. It's called Blades of Fury, I think.

@Chanka Nope the touchscreen works better than you might think.
If I can free hand input [street fighter jargon] j.FP,s.FP xx QCF P, FADC,c.FP into Ultra with Abel [/street fighter jargon] on my ipad I think people can play a game with simple 8-Way run shortcuts for all the commands like Soul Calibur.
