During the Bandai Namco event on December 15, allegedly Soul Calibur 6 will be announced, in addition to a Dark Souls 1 Remaster. It is alleged that My Hero Academia and One Piece will also be shown, although that may be at Jump Fest. Xenosaga HD Collection is also rumored to be shown. Nintendo is said to have a large presence at the event.
2 of the games at the event will be:
• Soul Calibur 6
• Dark Souls 1 Remaster https://t.co/cTypbnSVsz— Marcus Sellars (@Marcus_Sellars) December 6, 2017
As Nintendo is having a huge presence at the event, according to Sellars, it is likely that some of these games will definitely be on the Switch, with at least one exclusive. We know two games for sure. That leaves three more games.
While Xenosaga was impossible years ago, with the resurgence of Tetsuya Takahashi and his Xenoblade series (each game sold almost one million copies, despite one having a limited NA release and one coming out on a dying Wii U), there is a chance that a Xenosaga remaster would be financially viable for Bandai Namco. Xenoblade 2 Fans of the series are very loyal and while Bandai Namco owns the rights, Monolith Soft, owned by Nintendo, developed the trilogy.
Regardless of the issue of Xenoblade, Dark Souls and Soul Calibur on the Switch would be huge. Nintendo will finally be getting the kind of third-party support they not only need but deserve. Soul Calibur II was on the Nintendo GameCube with Link as a playable character. One can only wonder, if true, will they do something similar on the Switch version of Soul Calibur 6? We’ll find out on the 16th.
