Soulcalibur II HD Online Footage Is Nostalgic

I remember playing Soulcalibur II on ye olde Xbox as a greatest hits title, and it was one of the few fighters I owned. Not a bad thing no less, as that game kept me busy every time I picked it up. It was perfect. Well-balanced, fun characters to play, looked brilliant, and enough modes to dip into for hours. I loved that game. It's one of the few reasons why I even keep the old black box around.

So of course, when I heard that Namco was updating the game for current-gen, I got pretty happy. When they said Spawn was going to be in it, I got friggin' ecstatic. SCII is widely regarded as one of, if not the best in the series, and so long as Namco doesn't touch the balance of the game at all, they've got gold again.

Check out this new gameplay video featuring badass samurai Mitsurugi and nunchuck acrobat Maxi. Soul Calibur II Online is set to hit the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in the Fall, which is now. Right now. So, maybe tomorrow?

Next week.
...

We're in the season of Fall, Namco!
