Game Openings - Soul Blade
Before there was Soul Calibur, the highly acclaimed weapon-based 3D fighting game that made a huge splash when it debuted on Sega’s Dreamcast console (and would go on to spawn the equally great Soul Calibur II), there was Soul Blade.
Released for the original Playstation (an updated port of the original arcade game) way back in 1997, the game was hailed by critics as a great fighting game but never reached quite the status of the Tekken series. But as time would tell, it would eventually earn quite a higher status than it’s other Namco counterpart by the time we hit Soul Calibur II, considered the more hardcore fighting game when compared to Tekken.
Many of the great characters from the other games made their debut in Soul Blade (called Soul Edge in Japan) and you can see them for yourself in the intro for the game.
