He tells the Revolution Lifestyle of another Bloody Roar that he "[doesn't] think that's even up in our discussion pipeline, so you'll have to keep dreaming on that one for now." He's a bit more positive about the next peeks at Dungeon Explorer and Adventure Island, however. Plus, there's the usual Bomberman love-in.

I, for one, will not shed a tear over the extinction of the beastly brawler. Maybe it's my refined taste and aversion to musclebound lycanthropes. I'm actually quite neutral. I've just never used lycanthrope in a post before.

There used to be this fighting franchise, it came to GameCube. It will be coming to Wii but it won't be a fighting game anymore. It's gonna be some kind of crazy ass adventure game.

Cassamassina clarifies by adding the following.

There was one fighting game that sold pretty well, though, that was from a third party. So, I'm sure you can figure out what it was. Who the hell knows if it's gonna be any good, either.

The GameCube didn't exactly have a ton of fighting games, at least not one's that were strictly fighters, but Mortal Kombat, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Bloody Roar, UFC and, of course, Soul Calibur have all made at least one appearance on the Wii precursor.

Matt's wording certainly leads one to speculate that a Soul Calibur Adventures-type of game would fit that description nicely. Bloody Roar didn't exactly burn up the sales charts and both Mortal Kombat releases featured adventure elements, so "crazy ass" wouldn't apply.

If my Soul Calibur Adventures speculation does bear fruit, I only hope it features a controllable Ivy and a third-person camera. With freelook. And zoom. Michael McWhertor
