So by now we all know that the HD remake of SC2 was created using the European version of the game; which happened to be the final edition of the game when it came out back in the previous generation of consoles. Unfortunately, it also happened to be the worst version of the game; so bad that even at some European tournaments, they used the North American version!
Well this week, Bandai-Namco (formerly Namco-Bandai), released a patch that addresses some of the bugs introduced with the European version; as well as some of the bugs introduced in the HD-porting process. No word on whether or not this patch adjusts many of the issues with frames in the game, including the changes to clash windows... However, this is pretty good since I don't think any of us were expecting a patch in the first place.
Recently revealed via the SCR (Southern California Regionals) 2014 lineup stream on LevelUpLive, Alex Valle announced that 20 games would be present at this year's event. Among those titles, SoulCalibur V will be making it's return for the 2nd time and joining it will be the recently launched SoulCalibur II:HD.
In last night’s episode of ATP Live, Aris brings tieTYT onto the show as a guest to discuss some of the high level fundamentals of how to play Soulcalibur II. This should be a good episode for those who maybe new to Soulcalibur II HD Online, or haven’t played in a long time.
You can catch ATP Live every Thursday night at 8PM Pacific/11PM Eastern on Twitch TV.
In case you've been out of the loop (what the hell?), SOULCALIBUR II is getting an HD remake! And its releasing today on PSN, and tomorrow on XBL for the low price of $20.

So in honor of this auspicious release, we here at 8WAYRUN will be giving out a series of download codes (courtesy of Namco-Bandai) for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game. In order to enter, all you need to do is retweet the above tweet! If you win, we will contact you with details on which version you want... so make sure you also click that FOLLOW button.
As the release date for Soulcalibur II HD Online draws closer, a launch trailer has been uploaded by Namco today in order promote the release of the remake which also doubles as a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Soulcalibur II.

I'm already super excited for the upcoming re-release of Soulcalibur II, are you? The release date for Soulcalibur II HD Online is the 20th of November 2013.
UPDATE: Namco-Bandai has contacted us and confirmed that SC2HD will be released on November 19 on PSN and November 20 on XBL; they will be available for purchase at $20.
So after the long wait, Namco-Bandai has finally announced the release date of Soulcalibur 2 HD Online! We've been wondering for months now, since the game was announced back in July; but we finally know it will be coming out on November 20... in Europe. Will the US release date match it? Who knows. This information was not announced on any press releases, or given to any news outlets; so the release date may have been released prematurely.
In addition to the release date, the full Achievement/Trophy list has been found on the Xbox Live servers and can be viewed here. Pretty basic stuff... No word on the price yet.
*UPDATE* Namco's Soulcalibur Facebook page officially confirms the release date as "Worldwide".
