Looks like the next version of Soul Caliber is going to Include Special Characters from Star Wars. Yoda for the 360 and Vader for the PS3. Hopefully more characters will come available via donwload.

What about the Wii? Or is it just going to get passed over again?

The Wii is not getting SC4 at all.

/sigh that sucks. It could work, but I guess companies just don't want to invest in it.

It would have to be a completely different game, built from the ground up for the Wii. I agree that there's a need for a fully realized fighter on the Wii, and Soul Caliber would be a good choice, but aparrently not this time around. I heard Soul Caliber Legends, the wii exclusive SC game really stunk up the place.

Well, I know its an issue to release to Wii nowadays, but Nintendo right now is the only company of the three thats actually making money off their systems. The other two (oddly the 360) just aren't doing so well...idk what the answer is though I'm afraid.

I find that extremely hard to believe. When they say that they arent making money off their systems I think they mean that they are taking a loss off each system sold because the components cost more than they are making from the sale price of the system. But when you factor in the multimillions they make from software sales and xbox live subscriptions, downloadble content, media content etc etc etc Microsoft aint losing anything on the 360. I highly doubt they are continuing to support the 360 out of the goodness of their hearts or to please us gamers. They are making a humongous profit, believe it.

Yea, thats what I meant it that they are taking a loss per system due to cost. Its odd though that the Wii doesn't...
