Dreamcast SoulCalibur for Apple iPhone and iPad incoming!

Fighting classic SoulCalibur will arrive on Apple’s App Store to download on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad in just a week’s time, Namco Bandai has revealed.

The iOS version of the game will be a port of the original SoulCalibur game that first appeared on the Sega Dreamcast console 14 years ago, and it will be arriving on the App Store on January 19th.

Those who didn’t own a Dreamcast back then will finally get to see what all the fuss was about, but with touchscreen controls replacing the standard physical controls of the classic weapon-wielding fighter

SoulCalibur on iOS will feature a healthy selection of features and modes that include: Arcade Battle, Time Attack, Survival, Extra Survival, Practice, the Museum to browse your weapons collection, and full support for Game Center Leaderboards – so that you can see how you compare to your fellow iOS gadget-toting buddies.

And yes, all 19 of the original fighters will be playable. Even the very peculiar Voldo. Gaming fans can expect to hear lots more about SoulCalibur.

The iPhone game arrives two weeks before new PS3 and Xbox 360 game SoulCalibur V arrives in stores on February 3rd. We were lucky enough to get a behind the scenes look and play at the game and its story mode before release. Look out for a preview of that later this week.

Yes!!!!!!!! SoulCalibur is awesome on Dreamcast (yes, I still have a Dreamcast), so playing on the go is going to be pretty darn schweet.
