When it comes to fighting games, there are only a select few that have been strong enough to build a franchise around: Street Fighter, Tekken, and of course, SoulCalibur. Namco's weapon-based fighting series has survived for more than a decade due to its fast paced arcade style action, wild characters, and cameos from some pretty big-name guest fighters (Spawn, Link, Darth Vader, and Yoda to name just a few). As popular as the SoulCalibur series is though, surprisingly it's never managed to make its way to portable game systems. Until now.
