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.
