Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive

If you use Random you know which character you'll be before battle. Charade shifts between rounds.

And I agree with Null... Dark Samurai

Alternating between Talim and Link highly seems brave enough for the scours of Soul Calibur fighters.

I don't remeber where I read this but I heard that Dante will be the exclusive character. You may be wondering how they can do this, on account of how he is Capcom's property, but Capcom went to Namco and borrowed the SCII engine for a boss battle and in return they requested that they could use Dante for SCIII. I'll try and find the link. It might all be just specualtion though.

Jonbo actually means "

Another more promising update

Quote:

Despite what was claimed a few weeks back Namco is working on versions of Soul Calibur III for the next Xbox console and also the Nintendo Revolution. A Namco representative stated the following; “Namco is definitely planning to develop the Soul Calibur series on the next-generation platforms. However, when we started development for SCIII, the specs for the next-generation platforms were not set, and there were no dev kits, which ultimately lead (sic) us to development on the PS2.

“Essentially, Namco wanted to create a game with even more content than in Soul Calibur II, so we made the choice to focus on a single platform. And when we thought about choosing a single platform, we wanted it to be on the platform that has the greatest penetration in the current marketplace, that being PS2. Namco is very excited about bringing SCIII to the PS2 and the team has worked very hard on maximizing the graphics for SCIII, which [we] think will please franchise fans."

So it seems that Nintendo fans will be able to play Soul Calibur III after all, but when it is not known.

So its like good/bad news per se

Good because it clarifies the reason for doing so (although a straight port wouldnt have hurt?). But at least for next-gen consoles it hopefully takes advantage of all 3 consoles in one way or another
