SCRAWL

A scan from a Japanese magazine have revealed that R2-D2 will be a playable character in Namco Bandai's upcoming Soul Calibur IV, releasing at the end of the month. Here are the specifics from the translation:

Age: Unknown
Race: Astromech Droid
Place of Birth: Industrial Automation
Height: 96cm
Weight: Depends on add on gear
Birth Date: Unknown
Blood Type: None
Weapon: Stun Arm, Saber Launcher
Style: J Type Defense Program
Family: Many Others of the same type

It is unknown whether R2-D2 is system-specific such as Darth Vader and Yoda, but do we really need so many Star Wars characters in a non-Star Wars game?
