Soulcalibur IV is going to have a lot of fighters in it, as we all know. Plus, if you have the 360 version, you get Yoda, and if you have the PS3 version, you get Darth Vader. Is Namco Bandai trying to say something here? Never mind, the real point of this news is highlight rumours going around that there may be more console specific fighters on the way.

According to EGM, Kratos from God of War may be joining the lineup for the PS3 versions. This links with rumours that the 360 version will be getting another console specific character: feel free to wish in the character you want in there.

I think we can rule out Banjo-Kazooie though.

i think halo is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aleins and doesn't afraid of anything. they should use him

I guess beating the snot out of Master Cheif would be good.

Fable character maybe? I can't think of any real first party MS characters.

It's clearly horstachio.

    * Big Daddy
    * Altair
    * Joanna Dark
    * Commander Shepard
    * Crackdown Agents
    * Dead or Alive characters
    * Marcus Fenix
    * Kameo
    * Kaim Argonar
    * Sam Fisher

Any of those would be good.

Altair is from a multi-plat game, as is Big Daddy.

And sam fisher

Yes but we all know which platform sold more copies of those franchises.

So?

The 360 version should get pinatas. I'd play the game just for that!

The Spawn character has been on SNES, PSX, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox

Heihachi Mishima was an unlockable character in the GBA game Tekken Advance.

My point is that any of the characters in the list may have been on other consoles, but could easily end up representing the 360 in Soul Calibur IV or any future Soul Calibur game.

But there's a difference between console exclusive classic characters - i.e. get spawn only in 360 version - and bringing in characters from games that are only on particular platforms, like kratos.

The 360 version should get pinatas. I'd play the game just for that!

I know, right!

Link (Soul Calibur 3) - Exclusive to Nintendo
Kratos (Soul Calibur 4) - Exclusive to Sony

Heihachi (Soul Calibur 3) - Semi exclusive, was on Nintendo
Sam Fisher (Potential Soul Calibur 4 but not likely) - Was Xbox exclusive at first.

Spawn (Soul Calibur 3) - Not really exclusive, has slept around a bit since SNES
Altair (Potential Soul Calibur 4) - Not really exclusive, released on both 360 and PS3.

All I'm trying to say is that although those characters are not Xbox exclusive, doesn't mean they can't be classified as console specific, particularly if they have performed better on one console with sales than another, or been on one console longer.
