Wow, I really didn't see this one coming. Darth Vader and Yoda will be duking it out in the next installment of Soul Calibur, according to a recent story on 1UP. Just to prove that it's real and not just some phoney internet rumour, the site have actual real pictures of the two and have hinted that more characters from the Star Wars universe could appear. My wish for an E.Honda esque incarnation of Jabba will probably go unfulfilled though. Sigh...

With the exception of Virtua Fighter 5 and Dead or Alive IV, it's a bit of a sparse landscape for beat 'em ups on the Xbox 360. I'm a little surprised- I'd have thought that especially with the possibilities inherent in Live we'd see more developers clamouring to release online friendly multiplayer beat 'em ups. Still, things look set to improve with the fantastic-looking Street Fighter IV in the works.
