UPDATE! May 9th, 2007 - In the latest issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu, Namco-Bandi have confirmed Soul Calibur Legends, exclusive for the Wii. The game will not be a fighting game, but instead an adventure game set in the Soul Calibur universe. The game will make use of the Wiimote for fighting in some form.
More details are said to be revealed shortly.

UPDATE
In related Namco-Bandai news, the company announced a 71% increase in profits and from this briefing it was revealed that they have 37 titles in development for the Wii, in addition the firm has 24 titles in development for Xbox 360 and 23 for Playstation 3. Clearly Wii's market success and lower development costs would be the primary reason why more games are being developed for that platform, hopefully out of the 37 games, there are some top quality titles designed for Wii specifically and not quick cash ins, the Soul Calibur announcement seems to be a good start.

LOL! Not all the 37 titles will be new IP's or quality titles, that for sure. Half of them migt be Namco Classic games or something, imo. :P Legends sounds good though...

Yeah thats a given, hopefully at least a decent portion of the 37 are quality titles/new IP's :P
And yeah Legends is interesting, I'd like to know more about it.

If this was a Tekken game or Dead or Alive one or whatever, I'd pass it off as instant suckage and nothing more. But the fanboy in me sees the words 'Soul Calibur' and instantly I want this game badly.
So far every Soul Calibur game (including Soul Blade) has rocked my socks off so hopefully this one does too.

Bah, another spin off. I take it the Wii isn't getting Soul Calibur 4 then? Yet another company unwilling to take the Wii seriously enough to put its money where its mouth is. Disappointing.
Sub par titles such as Urban Reign, Death by Degrees or numerous Tekken force modes throughout the years immediately come to mind. Hopefully Legends will break this mold.

Well I don't know whether I'd right this one off as a title that illustrates Namco-Bandai's unwillingness to take the Wii seriously. At least not yet.
