Original Soul Calibur Headed to XBLA

Fighting game fans are no doubt excited for the release of Soul Calibur IV, especially now that we have a release date. But those looking for some nostalgia will be excited to find out that Namco has announced it will release the original Dreamcast classic as a downloadable game on Xbox Live Arcade.
We don’t know much about the game, except for the fact that all of the original characters and modes will return for this XBLA port, with the addition of leaderboards. Online play has not been confirmed, but it’s a fairly standard feature for XBLA games, as 1UP points out.
What I’m most interested in is how they fit this into the size limit that XBLA has. Certain games have been excused and allowed to exceed that limit. But, being a Dreamcast game, wouldn’t Soul Calibur require a fairly significant amount more room than the typical game released on the platform?
