Dante Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Takara Tomy has decided to resurrect the franchise on the Wii. However, this game is not a sequel of the classic PlayStation fighting game from Takara, this is an original new game, which has nothing to do with the classic game. Toshinden for Wii will be a weapon-based fighting game, you fight to determine which one's weapon is the strongest Toshinki. When your energy gauge is filled, you can summon the power from your weapon and transform, which boosts your power and give you access to super attacks.
S.C.G Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 So it's a cel-shaded (ish) DOA / Soul Calibur for Wii with anime stylings and waggle thats probably not anywhere near as good as the sum of it's parts? I'll pass ty...
Emerald Emblem Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Reminds me of Bleach Shattered blade and to be perfectly honest, if it's the same standard as that I'll pass too.
tapedeck Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Toshinden Battle Arena (iirc) was great fun. Hope this is one ounce 'similar'. Will keep an eye on it It's nice that we are seeing lots of Wii announcements for both existing franchises being rejuvinated and brand new franchises. Great times to be a Nintendo console owner imo.
mcj metroid Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 ahh the ps1 version was very good but er.... it almost looked better than this haha
Jonnas Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I saw some videos from the PS1 games. Honestly, they didn't look good. But I'm willing to give this a chance. It seems they realized it was better to start from the ground up, apparently.
mcj metroid Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 haha Well i guess i haven't looked at the ps1 one in a while toshinden 2 was a near launch game... so I have no idea when 1 came...
Jonnas Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 haha Well i guess i haven't looked at the ps1 one in a while toshinden 2 was a near launch game... so I have no idea when 1 came... *Does research* 1, 2 and 3 were all on PS1. The first one was launched in 1994.
mcj metroid Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 wow that early... so I guess the first must have really been a launch game.... in japene even
darkjak Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Yay! A regular fighter! Just hope that it won't suck.
Hellfire Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I remember loving Toshiden despite it sucking. Good times.
Zechs Merquise Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Ugh... looks sooo early PS2 it's shocking.
nekunando Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 This game just looks so bland.. hopefully there will be much improvement over the months ahead!
darksnowman Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I had to do make astute use of Google, Wikipedia and Youtube, but I finally decided that yes, I did play and enjoy Battle Arena Toshinden 2 alot on PS1... and oh yes, it was good. "Call me queen!" Dunno how it'll end up on Wii though, and its meant to be unrelated anyway.
Ren of Heavens Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 They should've done a Mega Man 9 and kept the classic graphics:
Zechs Merquise Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 They should've done a Mega Man 9 and kept the classic graphics: Is that a new Wii Screen?
Coolness Bears Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 This looks very bland and soulless. IT NEEDS SOME LIFE!
