Original Soul Calibur Coming to XBLA in HD
Update: Namco has confirmed to Shacknews that the Xbox Live Arcade edition of Soul Calibur will be based on the Dreamcast edition of the title, not the less-fondly remembered arcade edition.
Original Story: The first entry in the Soul Calibur series of fighting games is heading to the Xbox 360's online Xbox Live Arcade, Namco representatives announced at a press briefing yesterday.
Soul Calibur on Xbox Live Arcade will be presented in HD resolution, and feature all of the standard arcade, training, story and survival modes from the original.
Though online leaderboards will be available, only the original game's local offline multiplayer is planned for inclusion.
The downloadable title is expected to arrive this summer, most likely in advance of the July 29 release of Soul Calibur IV on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Now we need a good arcade stick.

What about the HORI stick, or the one that came out alongside DOA4? Shame if those suck. I was going to get one or both solely for SSF2TR and, eventually, SF4.

Crap, that's right. Time to do the old 360 d-pad mod.
