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.

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...

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.

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

Boo-urns indeed.
No mission mode + no 16:9 artwork = no buy for me.

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.
