So Mitsurugi and Siegfried Walk Into a Star Destroyer
No, it’s not the nerdiest joke ever?since Darth Vader apears in the PS3 version of Soul Calibur IV, there’s apparently a Star Destroyer stage for all of the Calibur characters to tussle in. You know I hate those bootleg hand-held-camera-filming-a-TV-screen videos, but there’s something so innately joyous about watching Mitsurugi and Siegfried fight with an Imperial shuttle in the background?and another Star Destroyer out the hanger bay?and the Death Star?that I can’t help it showing it and loving it. Also, do realize that there’s a very good chance of the Yoda-starring Xbox 360 version having a Dagobah stage? Oh, nerd bliss! (Via Kotaku)
