The Dreamcast version of Soulcalibur is an enhanced port of the 1998 arcade game by Namco. It was released worldwide in 1999 and features “ten new characters” and enhanced new graphics.
Soulcalibur, Arcade
After the arcade game, Soul Edge in 1996, and the PlayStation conversion of that game in 1998 (called “Soul Blade” in the West), came Soulcalibur in 1999. It was made available in arcades first, as a two-player cabinet, and did reasonably good business.
The basic storyline is about a group of fighters battling it out for possession of a mystical sword called “The Soul Edge“.
Soul Blade, PlayStation
Released in December 1996 in Japan, and in 1997 in North America and Europe, Soul Blade is the PlayStation port of Namco‘s Soul Edge arcade fighting game – the predecessor to the Soulcalibur series.
Soul Edge was a pioneering early attempt at using Motion Capture in a fighting game – for the realistic animation of the combatants – and it had quite an impact on fighting game fans when it was first released.
Soul Edge, Arcade
Developed by “Project Soul” and released into arcades by Namco in April 1996, Soul Edge is a weapons-based, one-on-one fighting game that serves as the predecessor to the Soulcalibur series.
