Soul Calibur II - With a lack of any other significant fighting games imminent on Gamecube, Soul Calibur II is guaranteed success as it looks just as good as anything the other big three (Sega, Tecmo, Namco) are putting forward. In a change of direction Namco are releasing this exclusively on Gamecube, although Tekken 4 is still a PS2-only game. No release date yet, but it will be in 2002.

If this is true, it\'s kind of disappointing.  The game is being made on system 246 so it wouldn\'t be too hard to bring it to the PS2.  I didn\'t play the first game more than a couple times, so it doesn\'t hit to to hard, but it still sucks.  I\'m glad we still get Tekken 4 and VF4. :)

The Krazy Killa from the GA forums said it best:

SC2 exclusive to NGC? What the hell? But.... system 246 is PS2! It\'d be like Sega having a fuly finished epic DC game, only needing to translate it, and the making it exclusive to Xbox or something in the US and Europe.  

@#%$... somebody took the gaming world and turned it upside down.

lol.

BTW mods, if you want to move this, go ahead.  I just thought this was big news (bad news) for the PS2 so it should go in this forum.

At least we still have Tekken4 and VF4 like you said, Thanks for the info Ironfist!  :D

I liked SC, but the first shots of SC2 were not as good as i hoped... well sooner or later i\'ll get the XBox, so i will probably rent/buy this game anyway.

Well, not a huge fan of the series in the first place...but until now, it wasn\'t an GC exclusive. In fact, for the most part, it was/is a multiplatform game.

I\'ll wait for more confirmation on this "news" outside Gamerweb.

I highly doubt this is true cause namco recently said they plan on bring SC2 to ps2, gamecube, and xbox.  Plus I never even heard of this page with this news.  Another thing is with news this big it would be at igncube wouldn\'t it?

Nothing offcial yet friends. Namco can´t only launch a fighting game in a console like NGC, it´ll be launched for ps2 too :)
