Like the original, the Xbox Live Arcade port of Soulcalibur lacks online play, but instead features much improved visuals. Will you be getting it?
i kinda like this new trend… release an old verson on arcade early, then a few weeks/month later, you release the updated hotter full version nextgen game to the market, so that those of us that havent played the game can get an early taste to get reaclimated back to it… nice
Very Nice!!! More namco arcade games should be made into XBLA titles such as the ridge racer series ect im sure im not the only one who would like to see this??
I want to see more classic Dreamcast games coming, we have Rez, Ikaruga and now Soul Calibur. We need Crazy Taxi and Shenmue 1 & 2 now.
Shenmue 1 & 2? Not in the arcade at least…lol
I’m hoping for Fighting Vipers and maybe Power Stone.
There ya go!
Even the sonic games were good!
Oh man, Power Stone would be amazing.
I said I wouldn’t going to buy it because of the lack of online play, but I admit it’s a very decent version! Much better then the playstation version.
But it’s a bood buy! although you cannot get full-screen is a bummer..
I’m soo happy that Microsoft are allowing Dreamcast games to swoop through the XBLA. I’m not much of a Soul Calibur fan but lots of people like it.. Some are mad because it was stripped from online play and even mission mode. If it was online, it’ll prolly sell alot more but I guess they didn’t add it because of the new Soul Calibur being released soon..
All I want is PowerStone 2, lmao. Hopefully, if they do add that to the arcade, it comes with online, man that would be awesome..
agreed
