Handheld Fighting Games of 95/99 - Battle Arena Toshinden
The Game Boy adaptation of Battle Arena Toshinden, released in 1996, reimagines the original 3D fighting game as a 2D side-view experience. Developed by Betop and published by TAKARA Co., Ltd., this version retains the eight original fighters—Eiji, Kayin, Sofia, Rungo, Fo, Mondo, Duke, and Ellis—but presents them in a super-deformed (Chibi) art style.
Players can choose from three gameplay modes: Story Mode (1P Game), Versus Computer, and Versus Human. Unlike the console versions, the Game Boy edition features a unique unlockable final boss. Battles can be won by either depleting an opponent's health bar or knocking them out of the ring. Each fighter has special moves, along with a desperation attack that becomes available when their health drops below 10%. The game is also Super Game Boy compatible, enhancing its visuals when played on the SNES. #fightinggames #gameboy #gaming
