Porting the Soul Calibur 2 HD version would be a good start. Any way you slice it, II is still one of the stronger entries in the series.

Certainly had the best campaign, though the strategy mode in III was interesting. I'm trying the campaign in V, and it is very lacking.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Looks like publishers are starting to come around to the value of PC gaming.
I feel like the real reason though is that they know sooner or later console gamers are going to realize what they're missing out on and sales from consoles will start waning.

You don't realise that there are reasons people prefer consoles, do you? Both have advantages.

I hope NIS will commit 100% to PC as well (Disgaea games).

Not bloody likely. Unlike Koei Tecmo, NIS has never done a PC ported game.

really? I think a few things they published are on steam, mainly cladun and clan and champions, nothing big name from thier library unlike Capcon, Square, etc.
Namco's pretty slow to jump on the steam train as well.

That is NIS America, who only publishes games here instead of them having other companies do the work like Atlus and Koei did in the past. Each of those games are from a different developer.

I've only played DoA 1 and 2, but the big draw of the DoA series is they are easy access without sacrificing intensity. Too many beat-em-ups have an 'entry level' that requires you to memorise an absurd number of very specific combos to be able to even begin to hold up against others, let alone learning the game-specific mechanics and then learning how to prevent yourself getting utterly locked down. DoA was great in that you didn't have to do the entire obsessive-compulsive combo memorisation part, and the mechanics were open enough that you could step in and start learning without having to go through 'boot camp'.

Later games get pretty brutal in difficulty apparently, you get counted a lot.

Huh. I'll definitely keep an eye on it—I liked Dead or Alive 4—but I won't commit to buying it until I know more about the specs. Intel Core I5 and 4GB RAM tells me very little about the game, and I hate vague crap like that. I need to know Minimum and Recommended settings, and especially GPU requirements, so I know whether my FX-6100, 8GB RAM, and GTX 650Ti will run it at my preferred resolution of 1280x1024 smoothly or not. I need to know what sort of hard-disk space this is going to take up and, therefore, how big of a compressed download it is.

Requires win vista :-(. They should make it for GNU/Linux, or at least it should work on winxp. I'm gonna boycott it.

No, it's not. I already use a superior OS - it's called openSUSE GNU/Linux. Wouldn't want that vista7 crap even if somebody paid me (not to mention it costs an arm and a leg).
It's time game companies make games for Linux.

Rabid Linux fanboys always spout the same argument "or I won't buy it", or perhaps a variant that is less antagonistic that is something like "Linux - and I WILL buy it." The fact is, for the majority of them, they will buy it anyway if they want to play the game, Linux support or not.
Case in point nearly the entirety of this guys Steam library with playtime on games are Windows only (some mac, but only a few Linux).

Cause I'm a bit longer on Steam than Steam is on Linux (something like 2x longer). Simple. This is proof that not enough games have Linux ports, though Terraria is getting a port in the near future, which will shift my steam played games time balance to the Linux side.

To be fair, it isn't heavily used, not like Windows. Both support and usage are rising, but it will take time.
I also believe that most of the support for it has been Western companies. I'm not sure what the PC OS market is like in Japan, where companies like Toei-Tecmo are, but it might be even more heavily Windows than it is for us.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is coming to PC.
I love the DoA series. That's why I definitely will support this game and the likelihood of pre-ordering this game is high. Oh, and more alts will unlock the more people pre-order. This kinda felt like kickstarter on steam.
