Soulcalibur III

Soulcalibur III (complete title: Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition) is a fighting arcade game which was released by Namco in 2005; it runs on the company's System 246 hardware, and despite its name, it is the fourth title in their Soulcalibur series. In addition to being manufactured as a dedicated cabinet, it was also manufactured as a conversion kit for other Namco System 246 (and System 256) games, and introduced seven new characters (three of whom would not make it onto the Sony PlayStation 2 conversion further in the year) - and its new "Legend Mode" also allowed a player to strengthen their character to the point of becoming the Boss (customised characters in this mode were also saved to the game's NVRAM, and appeared in it as guest characters, which made every cabinet of it unique).
