Vader and Yoda cross platforms on SCIV

Developer Namco Bandai has confirmed that its two previously platform-exclusive Soul Calibur IV characters Darth Vader and Yoda will both be available to download on Xbox Live and PSN respectively this Thursday.

Until now, Yoda was exclusive to the Xbox 360 version and Darth Vader to the PS3 version. However, a spare slot in the character rosters of both versions has lead many to claim that this announcement was on the way.

The Dark Lord of the Sith will cost Xbox 360 owners 400 Microsoft Points (around 3.40), whilst the price of Jedi Master Yoda on Sony’s PSN has yet to be decided in Europe, though it will cost $4.99 in North America.
