Remember self-deception with this Toshinden Wii trailer
For gamers who bore witness to the advent of the PlayStation, Toshinden likely brings back memories. You'll remember how you forced yourself to believe it was incredibly awesome at the time (It's like Street Fighter ... in 3D!). And you'll remember going back to the game a few years later and wondering just what you were thinking. Relive all that self-deceptive awe all over again with this trailer for Toshinden on the Wii! Check it out after the break. Question: Where the hell is Fo Fai? He was totally the best character. [Via Siliconera]
Clear screens from the Toshinden Wii game
Famitsu has put up screens that were in its latest issue for the Toshinden game headed to the Wii. Turns out, it's not a direct Toshinden sequel, but rather a spin-off of some kind with full independent characters and a separate game world. It apparently all revolves around some epic weapon of some sort. We're going on machine translation here, folks, so grant us a bit of leeway.You can cruise past the break for a couple of more screens.
Toshinden's back for some reason
If you were a PlayStation early adopter, you'll remember Battle Arena Toshinden. It was the terrible 3D fighter that launched with the system and featured in its early advertising; for a while, we all managed to convince ourselves that it was good and an appropriate showcase for the system. Takara Tomy has decided to resurrect the franchise on the Wii, or possibly to use the Toshinden name as a selling point for a new fighter. Other than being a 3D fighting game, there doesn't seem to be too much in common. The characters all look new, anyway. Not that changing Toshinden is necessarily a bad thing.
