This is it! This is the game I have very vague memories of playing as a kid on my PS1 all those years ago... Damn what a throwback...

I still remember how insanely advanced it seemed that your voiced echoed in certain "indoor" stages. This was HIGH TECH for 1995. These were also the best graphics you could find on the systems of the time, hard as it seems to believe now. They'd improve with each game, Virtua Fighter 2, Tekken 2, and others- but for the PlayStation's debut, this was actually the "Killer App".

Thank you, Lacey Michaud for introducing us to this fighting game

This was actually the first 3D fighting game I ever played. The voices were pretty silly, but I loved the awesome music!

First actual game I ever played on any console. It instantly became one of my favorites, even to this day I admire this game. Watching this video brings back memories.

Eiji: (Performing his rising spinning sword attack) “SUSAN!!”

this game was so beautiful back then (and i still like it i must say)

Toshinden might not have been the best fighter on the block when it released, but it was a real pioneer in the early days of 3D console gaming. It looked and sounded great, and though it's no Virtua Fighter, it was still a great deal of fun.

Playing a demo version of this game in toy stores in '95 sold me on getting a PlayStation.

I missed this game so much… I FINALLY FOUND IT( and Star gladiator) AGAIN!!! *Weeps tears of joy and exhaustion exaggeratedly*

When my brother rented the PS1 and blockbuster, he got this game and ridge racer. Cost 20 bucks to rent. When I saw this game I was completely blown away by the graphics. This was in 1995. Memories.

9:47 That is so...ouch! Sofia is the queen!

"No Probrem!"

The music was amazing and this was my first fighting game.

Maaaan so much nostalgia, Xmas 95 pops copped me the ps1 with tekken, mk3 & this joint right here.....2nd grade was lit!

Still perfect game-play, 25 years after!

Oh man I finally found this game. I played with way too much when I was a kid thanks for the video

Why does this look a million times better than part 2? Thought games got better as they went along.

Remember this game. Played as Sofia against Ellie once. She ran towards me, I jumped up and she ran off the stage. Funniest thing I ever saw.

Hearing all of those sound effects again. very nostalgic. I rented an entire PS1 at Blockbuster with this game one time. I got it for x-mas at the end of the year. Good times.

9:48 he got bitch slappes lmao 🤣

Fo's fart move was hilariously classic.

Omg the nostalgia!! I died for this game back in the day! I was a pretty big Mortal Kombat fan before this so when a 3d game for the PlayStation came out, I was soo glad my dad got it! The sounds they made as they fought was so addicting!

This was the first PlayStation game I played 20 years ago despite the fact I didn't own the system -- my cousins in Maryland got it for Christmas in 1996. Man, the memories of this, _Tekken_ and the PlayStation Interactive Sampler Volume 3... (_Fun Fact: In a YA fiction (young-adult) project I'm working on that--surprisingly--focuses on the history of video games, the true final boss of this game, Sho, is one of the inspirations behind one character._) I wish this was re-released in the PlayStation Store... :) Keep up the good work. -DFW

Ah, the childhood, brought me tears

Excellent game play. This brings back many sweaty-handed nerve wrecking game play memories of my youth. You did amazing here. A few characters gave you some trouble but you got them back QUICK, so good. Thanks for sharing 👍

Man I played this game since highschool

So many memories, I remember always hearing Duke say nut drag.

i used to play this all the time at my great aunt’s as a kid and i finally found this again holy shit

I loved to knock my friends of the edge before they were beat. Made them really really angry! The music was great, too.

25-Year Anniversary of Battle Arena Toshinden (1995-2020)

The start up of the original PS is by far the best

Take me back to the good old days when life was so simple as a kid 🥺 playing my first ever console game "battle arena"

All of a sudden, I'm transported back to my childhood.... 😪

The way you finished Gaia in the 2nd round was lit!

Duke was my main when I played this... back when I was 7!

This game gave me blister fingers so bad but I wouldn't trade it for nothing love this game. And good game play

Back then this game was toch notch gfx, the OST is still awesome to this day :). those guitar solos man, beautiful

I'll never forget when i first saw BTS2 running, the way characters just flew around during the matches just blew my mind! That was the moment i decided to take gaming more seriously.

Superb is Toshinden

First 3d game was Tekken but I like this better

I remember this game had a ridiculous amount of hype behind it. Game Players magazine in particular was obsessed with it. Kinda crazy how quickly this series fizzled out after the hype.

"You fought well!"

underrated channel, wish it had more subscribers. Maybe since 8 years has been passed [of ps4/x1/wiiu] it's a good idea to begin to include dc, ps2, gamecube, ds games?

I missed this game, sadly they didn't make new ones since PS1. T_T

Oh yeah. I remember this, or it's demo version for the original playstation. There were 3 playable characters. First there was was this "Hey cousin!"-guy, some chick, and an old man with claws who laughed like he had problems.

I always thought it's some sort of soul blade clone... or it's the other way arround? :)

I like sofias slap attack if you got too close to her.

God I loved the first two Battle Arenas. The 3rd was a little weird though....

Even back then I thought this game was clunky. Hasn't aged well :D

This game brought back some funny memories. Our order of the cd was somehow messed up with the character Elise. Her voice was so deep she sounded like a man. Omg her ‘AYYY’ was completely deep voiced it sounded hilarious. We seriously thought that was her legit voice in the game 🤣 Ended up purchasing another copy and it was fine this time.

Did you used the emulator of ePSXe?

My first game

The gameboy version was badass to!

where i can find this EBOOT for mi psp? please!!! already have one, but the music is missing!!!!

"- hello, what's the weather? - 8:35 " ))) I'm sorry, I couldn't, her and everyone voices are great, don't change anything)) [actually they are with music are great & unique, Super Smash Bros on par peaceful]

Can anyone help me, please? I can't remember the name of a ps1 3D fighting game. One character was like fairy grandma that attacked by rolling a hula hoop at you vertically. There was also a fighter dressed like a businessman in a black suit. He'd say some chant and pentagram would come under your feat and do a bunch of damage.

Did you ever play the Game Boy version? I had that game back in the day.

Tosh 2 was my favourite of the bunch.

God I remember even 26 years ago thinking this music was terrible lol

I used to love playing Sofia so I could slap people lol

I remember back in the day when arcades were still a big thing to go to, and this came out on display at Walmart/Target for the buyer to play. I thought these graphics were arcade quality and I though, "Wow, you can actually bring the arcade home with you!" During that time, this was the first Playstation game I ever played. Sadly, Tekken stole the spotlight from this title the way Streets of Rage stole the fire from Final Fight. I think that and Tigershark were my first Sega Cd games too.

I remember playing both the PC and PS1 versions of this game. The unique features in each version were kinda quirky.

Please remake or be remastered...🙏🏼🙏🏼

they need to make a Soul Calibur vs Toshinden game since Namco won't give us Virtua Fighter vs Tekken.

omg this game brings so much memories n makes miss my pop but they don’t make game like this anymore

Wtf I never got a guy named sho I only got the part where you combo Gaia and kill him

Memory unlock!

1st game was very unlucky, being outshadowed by Tekken very quickly, and after 2nd game, quality went all down to hell. Still, 4th part was precursor of modern 30 fps - better graphics but slower gameplay, or 60 fps - worse graphics, but faster gameplay

Strange. Eiji speaks his moves in Japanese but in his victory pose, he speaks English? But I like this game.

No, I think this is not the game Im looking for, but is pretty similar! Does any1 else remember any other game like this where you can push your opponent out of the arena? The game had "korean like" characters, with swords. And I think in some part of the presentation or before to battle you see the characters going up in an elevator.

Ellis' theme thoooooo

So nastolgic

AURORA REVOLUUUUUTION!

No problem, stay single 4 life demons 😋💅😇

First played this in the mid-2000s as i'm a sucker for "VS. Fighting" games!! I had fun with it's appealing characters and ROCKIN' soundtrack!! However, (personally)i'd say, it'd aged pretty poorly as I've been spoiled by smoother 3D fighters............I still like it and not a bad game by any means!! Favorite characters were Mondo and Eiji!!

Can I use this for the montage in my video?

"Susan" lol

09:47 la cachetada de ls señorita Sofia XD

I wonder what happened to this series, surprised that it never turned up in the PS2 period, after Toshiden 2, the series died off

I’d call this game not the greatest fighter in the world but I do appreciate it for what it is. I mean the characters are a bit slow in movement but at least all characters are able to pull off moves easily and consistently, no problem! As Eiji says, “No problem!” I really like Eiji Shinjo, he happens to be my favourite character next to Kayin Amoh, my second fav char. Man the voice acting is terrible, laughably bad, like comedic, not pathetic. Kayin sounds kind of Spanish, almost like someone off of Shrek when he says “Deadly ray!”. Eiji sounds like a Mexican in the story mode dialogue. Want a burrito, Eiji? I do think this PS version is superior to the Sat version despite its added features. Sega Saturn is terrible at polygons but great at sprites which explains why they don’t look that good and 3D objects appear mesh but sprites can appear transparent, I’ve seen that on Saturn, believe me. But I still love both PS and Saturn. But enough of that, I think Toshinden is an okay at best fighter but it does often some fun. While the graphics haven’t aged that well (what do you expect from old polygons?) the music is definitely good and music never ages, which is worth mentioning. When characters hit each other it sounds like balloons popping. The characters are definitely interesting and likeable. The gameplay is fine to me but it feels like refinement could be done but that’s what the sequels did. Believe it or not, it even has an anime series. Not that bad for a first 3D weapon fighter if you ask me. But I like the Game Boy version more as I really enjoyed it.

Even back then I remember this game being so clunky and slow I hated it the music was the only thing that kept me playing

The narrator sounds alot like Ser Barristan Selmy.

I seem to remember this as being some of crap cross between Soul Blade and Virtua Fighter?

this game was doo doo and i knew i got played when i put it in the console for the first time smh

Ahh look voldo and wolverine must have learned from fo lol

Gameboy version was better

Not Sofia playthrough like thumbnail would suggest. Lil click baity, but not too bad.

I remember this awesome. For me it is the classic Beatm up and first one on PS1. But i remember too, thats every title after this got more worse and crazy as fu.ck. dont know what happeded after BAT3.......
