hmm...i bet it's the port of the arcade version and not the updated Dreamcast version.

It says "insert coin" on one of the screens. So yes it probably is the Arcade version. Still looks fun, but they better release it at least a month ahead of SCIV if they want me to buy it.

That's lame if it is not the quality of the Dreamcast version! If they are not going to do it right then don't waste our time, give to the Wii crowd they like crap!

Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, No More Heroes, and the Upcoming Madworld would beg to differ. Stop being a dumb fanboy. However I long for Gears 2 and Banjo 3

As cute as those games are they LOOK LAME, sure I am a fanboy but it is common knowledge the Wii can't do next-gen graphics, so stop giving the Wii more credit than it deserves, especially here Nintendo Troll...

Mitsurugi is the best but mainly cause he's cheap. His uppercut move with his sword can be done over and over until you get a ring out. I can't think of how many times I beat the game without getting hit doing that over and over lol.

GOD why did.nt they just port Soul Calibur 2 from the dreamcast :S looks crap .... tho will there be online play?
Tony @ May 16th 2008 6:53PM
Soul Calibur 2 wasn't on the Dreamcast... but either way, this was supposed to be a port of the Dreamcast game. Namco Bandai, from what I remember, stated as such. It would suck if that's not true.

sorry sorry i always call it that because of soul blade... my bad
Bama @ May 16th 2008 8:11PM
Yes its the Dreamcast version, I remember reading it on Ign but I still have the original for Dreamcast so this isn't to exciting of a release for me
ryan @ May 16th 2008 8:31PM
it doesn't look as smooth as the Dreamcast version, it also has "Insert Coin" in the 2nd player slot....looks kinda arcadey to me.

Better hope your Xbox 360 doesn't die or you'll be stuck playing trial on the new one. Thanks DRM.

Stop pirating games.
