Alright, so we have heard the strange news that both Yoda and Darth Vader would be making an appearance in the highly anticipated Soul Calibur IV. Then, just when geeks everywhere thought that they would see a thrilling lightsaber battle between Vader and Yoda, Namco announced that each character would be console-exclusive: Meaning Vader is available in the PS3 version, and Yoda in the 360 version. Fret not, however, as your hopes of lightsaber duels are not all gone!
A new, recently released
trailer shows off Starkiller, Vader's secret apprentice and protagonist of the upcoming Force Unleashed game, will be appearing in both versions. It seems like Namco is really pushing the Star Wars aspect of the game, which I am not too big a fan of (Star Wars in Soul Calibur, not Star Wars in general). We will have to see how it plays out...
