Eight traveling fighters, brought together by a common destiny, now meet at the Battle Arena Toshinden. Many years have past since this tournament, known only to those in the underworld, was last held. Some fighters have come for personal glory, others have come to fight for those they love, but all will do their best to be victorious in this tournament which will decide their fortunes.
I got that shit packaged with the original Playstation when it came out… so many memories.
‘Now HOOOOOOOOOOLLLDDDD ONNNNN there Baba Looey!’ We haven’t even seen vids of this game in motion and there’s barely any info on it and you’re already calling it shit? It’s supposed to be a reboot ain’t it? Let’s not be too hasty…
Where in the hell are they pulling these fighting games from!? Next thing we know a sequal to TMNT tournament fighters will show up…and maybe Tobal 3?
Edit:
Wasn’t that the bitch with the whip and the big jugs?
Vermillion in BAT2 was the shit! I actually enjoyed the 1st 2 games in the series a lot, hope this actually turns decent. Too bad I’m not getting a Wii anytime soon.
The new hyper-metrosexual pre-teen-loli anime-archetype character influence is gay, just like in all of the other stupid shit Japan comes out with nowadays. Looks like all of the cool/adult characters from parts 1 and 2 are dead/gone/unimportant. End of opinion on that subject.
The fact that it’s on the Wii could make it a “so so” title. I’m not knockin’ on the Wii, it’s fun, but the game would’ve been a bigger deal if it was headed towards PS3 or 360.
Regardless, I’m happy it’s getting resurrected in some form, especially after Toshinden 4 sucked everywhere except like, Europe.
By the way, if anyone plans to judge Toshinden based on what they played on Sega Saturn: you’re an idiot.
Toshinden wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad. At least until part 3 came out and the Saturn decided to have shitty ports.
Eiji Shinjo and Kayin Amoh were probably the only “Ryu and Ken” clones I ever liked. Hell, Kayin was Scottish. Aren’t too many awesome Scottish characters in fighting games that get the “Ken Masters” position.
Toshinden 2 was even distributed by Capcom. It also had an arcade edition, as well as a “Toshinden 2 Plus” on Playstation which is kinda on par with what Guilty Gear XX #Reload was: a slightly tweaked version for hardcore fans that wanted balance as a priority.
Third, stop the bitching about characters in fighting games (hell, Japanese games period) not looking like someone from WWF, or American Gladiators. Shits fucking old, and boring as hell to keep reading. yes, we fucking know Japan draws men hella “girly”. It’s been this way for YEARS.
If it bothers you stop fucking playing Japanese games altogether, and get the fuck off the forums that play mostly Japanese games. Then end.
2008 is turning out to be the damned 90s high school alumni reunion party for fighting game franchises or some shit. If Criticom shows up at the party, I’m going to puke.
lol…you know good and well that when I said that I was expecting you to probably catch that. As of right now I it’s sort of like Mcdonald’s old slogan ‘Hey…It can happen!’. I mean jesus christ…we have a CASTLEVANIA fighting game coming out. Shit…Konami still has the liscense for it right now. People better yell at them right now while people are jumping the band wagon…right now is probably the highest possibility with all the fighters coming out.
