Namco Bandai announced Tuesday that their popular, weapon-based fighter, Soul Calibur, will appear on the PSP in Summer 2009 as Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny. At a recent Namco Bandai press conference, 1UP interviewed Broken Destiny’s director, Noriyuki Hiyama, and asked him questions about the series’ transition to the handheld, new fighters, character balancing issues, the difference between the North American and Japanese market, and possible DLC.
1UP: Why call the game Broken Destiny?
Noriyuki Hiyama: We wanted every player to play the game — to forget about playing past Soul Caliburs. Just to start from scratch, and to enjoy the game.
