'''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 [[:Category:Soulcalibur|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 [[wp:Non-volatile random access memory|NVRAM]], and appeared in it as guest characters, which made every cabinet of it unique).
