Soulcalibur bloodies up the XBLA this Wednesday

by Dustin Burg { Jun 30th 2008 at 12:45PM }

Sometimes rumors turn out to be true, and in the case of Soulcalibur making its way to the Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday ... well, that's true.

Just today, Microsoft announced that on the morning of Wednesday, July 2nd, old-school Soulcalibur will be releasing to the XBLA at the 800 Microsoft price point. Included in this XBLA version of Soulcalibur will be all nineteen fighters, leaderboards, versus play and over eight game modes to experience in gorgeous high definition. Enough to make any fanboy shed a tear of happiness. Not only will we be treated to Soulcalibur this week, but XBLA game Wits and Wagers will be receiving a 320 MS point expansion that adds an additional 280 questions to the mix. Make the jump for the official press release.

Too bad there isn't online, otherwise I would get it....

Pass on SC...

320 points for 280 questions? Seems steep for just a whole bunch of text...

It's my 29th birthday wednesday, and my favourite game of all time, the reason I still blow the dust off a dreamcast from time to time, will be right there for me on my favourite console and my HD telly.

Could there be a better present than this? Thanks Namco & Microsoft!

The soul stills burns...

yay SC was great, and just in time for some quality game hours before SC4 arrives in a month, but how about delivering Wits & Wagers to Europe...miscrosoft!!

Insta-buy.

With Ikaruga, Rez HD, and SoulCalibur now (or soon to be) in my arcade library... looks like I can finally get rid of my old faithful dreamcast.

Dreamcasts are for JetGrind Radio.

None of my comments are showing up... that's odd

There's no mission mode this time, though, right? Boo-urns.

Sentox6 @ Jun 30th 2008 4:18PM

Boo-urns indeed.

No mission mode + no 16:9 artwork = no buy for me.

TORO @ Jun 30th 2008 3:23PM

I loved this game, way better than VF and Tekken

No Online. No Sale.

For fighting games nowadays, it's inexcusable.

I'll be picking this up. There isn't any online play, but I don't play online with my dreamcast anyway.... So now I won't need to pull it out of the closet as often.
