Although the three fighters in these screens aren't new to the series, we're happy to confirm that Maxi, Mina and Yun-seong will be playable in Soulcalibur IV. Maxi is still sporting his trademark nunchaku, while Mina and Yun-seong will be heading into battle with their respective weapons, the long-bladed Scarlet Thunder and the White Storm sword. If you take a close look at the screens, you'll likely also notice two new environments, Maxi's pirate ship and what appears to be a cave bathed in blue light (complete with a frozen woolly mammoth).

Action adventure spin-off of Namco Bandai's fighting series goes gold, arrives exclusively on Wii November 20.
Traditionally squaring combatants off mano-a-mano in the fighting arena, the Soulcalibur series is in for a drastic overhaul with its upcoming Nintendo Wii-exclusive spin-off, Soulcalibur Legends. Today, Namco Bandai announced that development has wrapped on the third-person action-adventure and gamers will be able to get a firsthand look at the changes come November 20.
Soulcalibur Legends is set between the events of the original Soul Blade for the PlayStation and its sequel, Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast. The third-person hack-and-slash action follows knight-in-shining-armor Siegfried as he quests to piece together the Soul Edge, better known as the epic-size sword that he's come to be associated with. Numerous other characters from the franchise turn up in the game, including the sultry dominatrix Ivy and the bushido-blade-wielding Mitsurugi.
As would be expected from a Wii-exclusive title, Soulcalibur Legends will take advantage of the Wii's much-vaunted motion-sensing controls. In addition to a single-player campaign, the game features split-screen co-op and competitive modes. Not abandoning the fighting genre entirely, the game also includes a versus mode.

That bladed whip's sting is as potent as ever on the Wii, as we found out in our recent playtime with this third-person action game.
;)
We knew that Namco Bandai's upcoming action adventure game Soulcalibur Legends would feature Ivy, a lovely lady known to Soulcalibur fans the world over. But until now, we never got to see her in action. Thankfully, we recently played through several levels of the game, which features plenty of smooth moves from our famed heroine.
