Soul Calibur Hits XBLA Wednesday

Namco's re-release of the Dreamcast and arcade fighting classic Soul Calibur will arrive as one of the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade downloads this Wednesday, July 2.

Priced at 800 Microsoft Points ($10), the game runs in high-definition and, according to Namco, features "no major additions or subtractions" from the Dreamcast edition. To see the port in motion, check out Shackvideo.

Though Soul Calibur includes online leaderboards, it does not sport online multiplayer. That feature is reserved for the upcoming full-fledged sequel, Soul Calibur IV, which hits PS3 and 360 on July 29.

I honestly have no reason to buy this. No multiplayer over Xbox Live, and the port wasn't updated to support 16x9. Allexcitement I had for Soul Calibur 1 on XBLA, is completely gone. :(

I'm excited about it, but no online multiplayer is a real bummer.
