I read that earlier, it has the potential to be good. So far I'm not getting any Death be Degree vibes. After seeing the screens I can say (imo) that the game looks great also.bc1391

I saw the screens that popped up a couple of weeks ago and it looked decent, but nothing spectacular by any means. But I think a lot of it had to do with the fact it was a scan of a scan... :P

Are there new screenshots in NP?

It sounds great, but not as great as Soul Caibur 4 with online.Kayrod29

We don't know if there will be online or not. But I see SC4 being definitely better.

Would be great if it ends up being at 60FPS. It's cool to know that they like the controls.

Co-op is already confirmed. They're just choosing if the 2 players will be in the same screen or splitscreen.

I'm not an online whore, I enjoy my SP, but I would REALLY like this to have online... it's a fighting game for crying out loud. I don't always have someone to play with. And who said Nintendo isn't working on a voice chat feature? It's doubtful, but that would be awesome.

Online alone will not make ANY game worthy of AAA. And remember, Soul Calibur II and III only scored AA. I don't see SCIV improving much on the formula, so it'll probably be only AA as well.

I have high hopes for Soul Calibur Legends, but I expect an 8.5. They would have to make the gameplay experience truly unique and memorable to achieve 9.0, and not just a God of War/Ninja Gaiden ripoff.

I'm definitely not hyping this AAA... notice the 'pretty good' comment in the title. ;)

It's an adventure beat em up game, not fighting.m_machine024

True, but isn't there a vs. mode? I would expect that to be the online portion.

It isn't a fighting game.

But even then that doesn't make sense.

When you play a fighting game online *it doesn't matter your connection when you connect online the framerate starts to scatter* that splitsecond timing is gone thus making the game play completly different. Also the fighting game genre was founded on local community and you showin off skills and beating your buddies. I mean no offense but it's like the last line in my sig says.

Not attacking you just saying.

No, I don't see you as attacking me, and I hear where you are coming from. I should have said fighting game - but, I hears there was a vs. mode... as far as I'm concerned, that would probably be the online other than a co-op game. I definitely think there should be local multiplayer, but I don't see what is wrong with online as an addition. I would never compromise a single player or even local mutilplayer for online, but I want online games to be coming more often to Wii. I understand that fighters are much better with friends with you though... Tekken was a great example of that.

I mean online is a nice addition, but should never be a main course in a fighting game. You can't replace a human being with a 3D model. I have a local arcade with King of Fighters '98, Soul Caliber III *PS2 version sucked but this one was hands down best in the series*, Tekken 5, Tekken Tag Tournament, and my personal favorite Capcom vs. SNK 2.

I seriously don't understand how arcades died in the West. Nothing beats street battles, nothing. :)

i'm hyping this low ANorthlandMan

I'm really interested in it Nintendo Power said that they played it and it was great, so I hope it will be good and they said they were worried before they played it they thought it would not be good because other fighting franchises tried that before and they failed.Nintendo_Ownes7

Nintendo Power says anything plays fine, though. And their reviews say differently some of the time.
