What's WAY Cooler Than the New Super Smash Characters?

So I've been so eagerly anticipating the release of "Super Smash Bros.: Brawl" that I've forgotten an even more wonderful upcoming fighting game release this year. "Soul Calibur IV" is coming out in the summer. I LOVE the "Soul Calibur" games (pending the latest one, which I haven't played).

In "Soul Calibur II," they released three different versions of the game: one for the Xbox, one for the PlayStation 2, and one for the GameCube. With each version there was a different playable character. For the Xbox, you could unlock Spawn. For the PS2, you could unlock Heihachi from "Tekken." For the GameCube, you could unlock Link from the Zelda games. Cool huh? Well things just got WAY cooler. Skip to about 58 seconds in if you're impatient.

Did anybody else just giggle like a little girl? Because I totally just giggled like a little girl.

That's right, Yoda and Darth Vader will be playable characters. Yoda will be in the 360 version and Vader in the PS3 version. No word on any other available characters, but OH MAN this is going to be good. For the full story and more screenshots, head over to 1up.com at this link.

Thanks to Tyler Nickell for the tip.
