PlayStation Legacy Reborn debuts today with my documentation and review of the Battle Arena Toshinden Series by Tamsoft. This is a fighting game series that began on the launch day of the Original PlayStation. Sony themselves published the first Battle Arena Toshinden in the west as they wanted a 3D fighting game that could rival Sega’s Virtua Fighter which was one of the Sega Saturns biggest hitters at the time. Battle Arena Toshinden has a colourful history of 4 games, a mixed bag of characters (one even based off Michael Jackson) and some interesting tone shifts in the latest release, Toshinden 4 (2000). Catch the history of the fighting series today on Don Critic!
Games featured,

8:36 - Battle Arena Toshinden 2
12:54 - Battle Arena Toshinden 3

I played these games growing up and it was so exciting and got me into fighting games.

One of my early favorite series growing up within the 90s. Started it off on the Saturn with Battle Arena Toshinden among the Anime that came out through US Manga Corps. Despite the beta mechanics that was still shaping up through fighting games it still holds a great place in my collection that i still play to remind me where it all started it alongside Tekken, Virtua Fighter, and Dead Or Alive.

I never knew Toshinden 1 was the very 1st game where characters could move around the stage 😅. That's a feature ALL 3D fighting games should have. I absolutely loved the Toshinden series 😁 and I hated that there was never a reboot game with ALL the characters from Toshindens 1-4 playable on the same game 😥😞.

Great vid mate👍 Whilst I didn't own any of these I remember them from various demo discs. Interesting to see how far they pushed the series, a new entry might be feasible perhaps?

Wait, from that thumbnail... there were 4 Battle Arena Toshinden games!? I've admittedly never played any of them (by the time my family got a PlayStation, Tekken 2 was out) but I at least knew of the existence of 1 and 2. This was quite the surprise. Also a surprise to hear the developers went on to make the Onechanbara and Senran Kagura games.

Awesome video. I grew up with the first game, but actually have never played any of the sequels, so it was interesting to hear about them. I do think the second and third look better than the first. I can’t remember if it was 2 or 3 (or both,) but I heard there’s an option to turn off the textures to get 60fps gameplay, which is kind of cool and way ahead of its time in terms of console games.

Battle Arena Toshinden 3 all day and hands up for the best one of the franchise

@rone4166

Got my ps1 launch day with this game my friends and I sat around and played in awe of the 3d graphics as previously we spent many hours in mk2. It was a whole new dimension.When I first played I knew the future of home consoles had arrived.

I wish Sony buys the rights to IP, so that We'll get Battle Arena Toshinden Collection.

B.0.T was the first 3D fighter I ever played (I had a virtua fighter port on the pc but it was lagging to f*ck) and it blew my mind. That and Tobal no.1 where my go to jams until I really got into the OG tekken trilogy

I like many other people would not mind a reboot similar to how mortal kombat was done. I know this video was focused on the PlayStation main games but any comments on the two sega saturn games, and gameboy version?
