Yes, you've probably already heard, but one of the best Dreamcast games ever is coming to Xbox Live Arcade. Namco has announced plans to release an updated HD version of Soul Calibur, complete with new leaderboards as well as tweaked Arcade, Training and Survival modes. Apparently, though, there'll be no online multiplayer - unlike Capcom's XBLA version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
Soul Calibur was responsible for many a missed deadline on my old magazine DC-UK, where day long tournaments were a regular occurrence. Incidentally, some news sites have reported that the 'original' Soul Calibur is coming to Xbox - which, of course, is technically incorrect - that was Soul Edge (or Soul Blade if you prefer), from 1996. That would be great too though, Namco.
The publisher is also set to bring a new 2D space shooter to both XBLA and PlayStation Network. PowerUp Forever apparently features a spaceship that grows in size as it absorbs energy.
So anyway, who's your favourite Soul Calibur character, and what does that say about you?
Mine's Ivy. I dread to think.
