This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 28th birthday of Soul Blade, a PS1 fighter I adored back in the day. Forbearer of Namco’s SoulCalibur series, ‘Soul Edge,’ as it was called in NTSC regions, wowed us early with its absolutely phenomenal pre-rendered intro movie (upscaled here). I have vivid memories of booting the game purely to watch it while saying to myself and my best mate, «In-game graphics will n-e-v-e-r get this good!»
Beyond sinking serious hours into the mini-RPG mode, which unlocked unique weapons, I recall having a 2P Verus rivalry with said friend. He was a nunchaku Li Long exponent while I was a katana-slinging Mitsurugi. When I defeated him in the most embarrassing way possible—punching him to death after he shattered my blade—he refused to speak to me for a week. Goodie, if you’re reading this, you were a massive sook.
