Soul Calibur 2 Confirmed For Naomi?

Is this the second Dreamcast game Namco's been promising?

January 12, 2000

Reliable Japanese arcade super site Amusement Graffiti had a big surprise for us when we were doing our daily online rounds earlier today. Listed on the site's upcoming arcade release list is none other than the tentatively titled Soul Calibur 2, set for a summer release. The title's platform? None other than the Dreamcast-friendly Naomi arcade board.

We're not sure if this is a mistake on the site's part, as they didn't make any noise of the information - not even with a news story on the front page. In fact, we contacted our rarely used Namco representative, and he could "neither confirm nor deny" the information. Just thought we'd let everyone in on our little discovery . . ..

In other Namco news, Amusement Graffiti also lists an updated arcade release of Toukon Retsuden 4 as being published on the Naomi by Namco. We're not sure where this one came from, as it seems out there to the extreme, seeing as how the original Dreamcast title was developed by Yukes and published by Tomy, but who knows what will happen if Namco continues its Naomi/Dreamcast support.
