Shipping this week: Now with more Yoda edition

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 28th 2008 at 3:45PM }

This is it folks, this week officially marks the release of Soul Calibur IV. You may recall SCIV as the weapons based fighter that features not only ridiculously proportioned female fighters but also Yoda. The Playstation 3 version gets Darth Vader himself, though he may be Force choking his way to the 360 if rumors are to be believed. Also on the release this week are Spectral Force 3 and Summer Athletics The Ultimate Challenge. Spectral Force 3 is a Japanese strategy RPG and Summer Athletics The Ultmate Challenge is ... well, honestly, we have no idea. Looking at the title, we'd say someone is looking to cash in on the Olympic Games.

Darth Vader better be downloadable content!

It's all about the "Dark Side"!!!!

I already have this for PS3, and I'd much rather have Yoda. Damn the 360 D-pad for making me get this for PS3!

I'm just waiting for the store to have it. All I gotta do is pick it up.
Mitsurgi FTW!

well it's good to know that the "good" and "evil" sides of the console wars got the appropriate characters. i kid, I kid.

Although Vader would be FTW.

Nice One!!

I feel sorry for Yoda. No one loves him. The news came out that the other character might be available, and there was a complete sigh of apethy from every Ps3 owner.

Looks like Yoda will be DLC on the PS3 version.

Unfortunately, the 360 controller is inferior for fighting games compared to the Dualshock, I hope it won't be too bad though, I've gotten used to it from my PS3 except for the D-Pad.

Who uses the D-Pad for 360 fighting games anyway? I'll probably wait since I was disappointed with SC II & III.

Does anyone know if the 360 version of this game supports rumble for the controller?
I heard the ps3 version doesn't and some people say the 360 doesn't either. This is a deal breaker for me. If the ps3 and the 360 both don't have it then I will get it for the ps3 because that is a better controller for fightinig games.
