Namco Bandai Games announced today that the iPhone version of the original Soul Calibur will be released on January 19th. The game features all 19 characters and includes the following gameplay modes:

  • Arcade Battle
  • Time Attack (with Game Center leaderboards)
  • Survival  (with Game Center leaderboards)
  • Extra Survival (with Game Center leaderboards)
  • Museum
  • Practice

Namco hasn’t revealed how much the game will cost yet, but it’s apparently a universal app that’s compatible with the iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4, and iPad. It will be interesting to see how the controls hold up.

    wonder if my gamebreaking MOTB glitch is still in there XP

    (I only found it for Kilik, someone else tried it for Voldo, which is even cheaper XP)
    (sorry, just wanted to brag on it, as its one of my craziest achievements for fighting games)
    (and truly sorry for the abuse of it afterwards)

    Namco
    can u be kind enough to release this on PlayStation Store with online mode added ?
    i never had the chance to play it on DreamCast
    only played it on PC using an emulator but emulation wasnt 100% perfect when it comes to game speed
    i got hit by Nostalgia attack too
    was such a great game

    Yeah Apple is well stupid, they turned thereselves into Namco and released a game called Soul Calibur. As a rule Apple is always right, they are the only company so far that actually makes has a golden touch. The  sad thing is you are all blinded by the iPhone, it’sthe desktop where apple excells. But back to the matter, it’s up to Namco what hardware and os they make it run on.
