The Battle Arena Toshinden Tribute! ~09/06/2022~
10Welcome to the Re-Stream upload of: 09/06/2022 Cookye Tuesday's "Retro Gaming Life!" This was originally broadcasted on the "Strike 1st Gaming Channel" on Twitch
In this stream, Cookye introduces and pay's tribute to legendary fighting game: Battle Arena Toshinden. Toshinden was well known to have been the 1st 3D fighting game to implement the "side stepping" technique in which would be a common maneuver in today's modern day martial arts games. This technique would later be implemented in Tekken 3 and then Virtua Fighter 3.
Battle Arena Toshinden would be the flagship title to promote the release of the original Sony PlayStation in 1995 and would go on to compete against the Sega Saturn's flag Ship title: Virtua Fighter 2 in what was known at the time as the 32 bit console wars.
In it's final PlayStation iteration, Battle Arena Toshinden would be released in Europe as: "Toshinden 4" and originally in Japan as: "Toshinden Subaru" marking the next generation of Toshinden fighters. Subaru marks the name of the student who was learning swordsmanship from Eiji the original series protagonist from the first 3 Toshinden games. Unfortunately Toshinden 4/Subaru was never released in the American gaming market. Subaru would also mark another innovative Milestone as this would be the first 3D fighter to incorporate 3 on 3 team battle combat system.
TAKARA legendary 3rd party game developer would eventually be bought out and merged with another Japanese company called: TOMMY. Before the merger, TAKARA would be responsible for teaming up with famed Japanese company: SNK to collaborate and develop the original Gameboy versions of King of Fighter 95 and 96 along with Samurai Showdown while also porting Toshinden to Gameboy as well.
Takara even granted blessings to allowed Tiger electronics to create LCD handhelds of their Toshinden properties too.
As time went on, Takara now merged with "TOMMY", took one last try to resurrect Toshinden with: "Toshinden Revival" for the Nintendo Wii game console in 2008 with the help of a company called "Dreamfactory".
