- A playthrough of Takara's 1995 3D versus-fighting game for the Sony PlayStation, Battle Arena Toshinden.
Played through on hard with Eiji. I didn't lose any of the fights, so I got the real ending, meager though it may be.
This is one of my favorite early 3D fighters. It was the first fully 3D weapon-based fighter (predating Soul Blade by a fair bit), and though it doesn't play quite as well as Virtua Fighter, its direct competitor, TSD is easy to pick up and have fun with. The graphics were pretty mind-blowing when it was released at the PS1's launch, and it still looks surprisingly good today. In 1995, between this and Ridge Racer, Sony's first console made it pretty clear that 3D was the future of gaming. And really, how many fighters have a soundtrack as killer as this one?
Good stuff all around. Shallow, but good.

This is it! This is the game I have very vague memories of playing as a kid on my PS1 all those years ago...
Damn what a throwback...
So Im not the only one trying to find this time capsule of a game. Took me hours of searching to find this
This was on of my favorite games. All 3 of them.
I still remember how insanely advanced it seemed that your voiced echoed in certain "indoor" stages. This was HIGH TECH for 1995. These were also the best graphics you could find on the systems of the time, hard as it seems to believe now. They'd improve with each game, Virtua Fighter 2, Tekken 2, and others- but for the PlayStation's debut, this was actually the "Killer App".
Maaaaan 💯
This game was definitely pushed heavily, as SEGA had released the system early with Virtua Fighter. It was the better playing game but it’s graphics were far below Toshinden’s, and the port had graphical bugs too.
@@theobserver4214 Yep- VF had you half-disappear sometimes! It made the game look so backwards and "old" compared to this.
Well said!
The fact that kayin's stage had the match live in the background on a tiny screen lol
This was actually the first 3D fighting game I ever played. The voices were pretty silly, but I loved the awesome music!
Playing a demo version of this game in toy stores in '95 sold me on getting a PlayStation.
Same with Soul Blade, I played that on a black and white TV in Virgin Megastore, and it convinced me to get a PS1, however 26 years later I hate Sony.
Same. I was a Nintendo boi. But they kept postponing the release of the 64. Sony came along and I was hooked. Hell, I think I skipped school a few times just to go to the store and play the demo.
this game was so beautiful back then
(and i still like it i must say)
Toshinden might not have been the best fighter on the block when it released, but it was a real pioneer in the early days of 3D console gaming. It looked and sounded great, and though it's no Virtua Fighter, it was still a great deal of fun.
will you be playing through each game of the series??.......just asking....
RockmanSam Probably not, but who knows? I might
Please play BAT 3 I loved some of the characters in that game like Ten Count, Miss Til, Judgement, etc.

This game was incredible when it first came out. I just looked at part 2 and it looked god awful. This looked better in every way.
Thank you, Lacey Michaud for introducing us to this fighting game
Eiji: (Performing his rising spinning sword attack) “SUSAN!!”
Gaia: "HOLD ME!"
First actual game I ever played on any console. It instantly became one of my favorites, even to this day I admire this game. Watching this video brings back memories.
"No Probrem!"
CarozQH His accent somehow is even worse than Terry Bogard's using the same phrase
+NintendoComplete Strange... I'm the opposite of that. I prefer Martin Galapolar's voice.
Actually he really says "no problem", i can hear the "L" perfectly. Someone needs an ear check lol
9:47 That is so...ouch! Sofia is the queen!
I missed this game so much… I FINALLY FOUND IT( and Star gladiator) AGAIN!!! *Weeps tears of joy and exhaustion exaggeratedly*
When my brother rented the PS1 and blockbuster, he got this game and ridge racer. Cost 20 bucks to rent. When I saw this game I was completely blown away by the graphics. This was in 1995. Memories.
October 1995!!! Totally remember, same two games haha
Still perfect game-play, 25 years after!
The music was amazing and this was my first fighting game.
Maaaan so much nostalgia, Xmas 95 pops copped me the ps1 with tekken, mk3 & this joint right here.....2nd grade was lit!
Remember this game. Played as Sofia against Ellie once. She ran towards me, I jumped up and she ran off the stage. Funniest thing I ever saw.
Oh man I finally found this game. I played with way too much when I was a kid thanks for the video
Fo's fart move was hilariously classic.
Why does this look a million times better than part 2? Thought games got better as they went along.
Hearing all of those sound effects again. very nostalgic. I rented an entire PS1 at Blockbuster with this game one time. I got it for x-mas at the end of the year. Good times.
Ah, the childhood, brought me tears
Man I played this game since highschool
So many memories, I remember always hearing Duke say nut drag.
actually, he said "neck drag"
i used to play this all the time at my great aunt’s as a kid and i finally found this again holy shit
The start up of the original PS is by far the best
Excellent game play. This brings back many sweaty-handed nerve wrecking game play memories of my youth. You did amazing here. A few characters gave you some trouble but you got them back QUICK, so good. Thanks for sharing 👍
This was the first PlayStation game I played 20 years ago despite the fact I didn't own the system -- my cousins in Maryland got it for Christmas in 1996. Man, the memories of this, _Tekken_ and the PlayStation Interactive Sampler Volume 3...
(_Fun Fact: In a YA fiction (young-adult) project I'm working on that--surprisingly--focuses on the history of video games, the true final boss of this game, Sho, is one of the inspirations behind one character._)
I wish this was re-released in the PlayStation Store... :) Keep up the good work.

I loved to knock my friends of the edge before they were beat. Made them really really angry! The music was great, too.
9:48 he got bitch slappes lmao 🤣
if you get too close to her that happens if you time it right.
Omg the nostalgia!! I died for this game back in the day! I was a pretty big Mortal Kombat fan before this so when a 3d game for the PlayStation came out, I was soo glad my dad got it! The sounds they made as they fought was so addicting!
Take me back to the good old days when life was so simple as a kid 🥺 playing my first ever console game "battle arena"
25-Year Anniversary of Battle Arena Toshinden (1995-2020)
All of a sudden, I'm transported back to my childhood.... 😪
Duke was my main when I played this... back when I was 7!
I'll never forget when i first saw BTS2 running, the way characters just flew around during the matches just blew my mind! That was the moment i decided to take gaming more seriously.
"You fought well!"
The way you finished Gaia in the 2nd round was lit!
This game gave me blister fingers so bad but I wouldn't trade it for nothing love this game. And good game play
Back then this game was toch notch gfx, the OST is still awesome to this day :). those guitar solos man, beautiful
Ellis stage music 🔥
First 3d game was Tekken but I like this better
Superb is Toshinden
I remember this game had a ridiculous amount of hype behind it. Game Players magazine in particular was obsessed with it. Kinda crazy how quickly this series fizzled out after the hype.
The music is dope though.
professors84 I remember reading the GP stuff over and over on this. I loved the hype haha
"Best Brawler EVER!" It sounds so ridiculous today, but I was absolutely wrapped up in the hype, and loved the shit out of this game. Hindsight has shown that VF & Tekken were better, but I was definitely in the "Toshinden" camp in 1995. It seemed SO much better.
Those were the Best Fighting Games ever in the 90's, Visit The Past to Have Fighting Games on Playstation 1 and Xbox 160, Playstation 2 and Xbox 260, and Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
@@professors84 I remember seeing all this info coming from Japan about the game. The hype was real. Looking at it now. Yikes
I missed this game, sadly they didn't make new ones since PS1. T_T
Still exist toshinden 2 and toshinden 3
Oh yeah. I remember this, or it's demo version for the original playstation. There were 3 playable characters. First there was was this "Hey cousin!"-guy, some chick, and an old man with claws who laughed like he had problems.
I remember that 2!!! Buddy with claws was on sum else 😂😂
👍
I like sofias slap attack if you got too close to her.
Even back then I thought this game was clunky. Hasn't aged well :D
God I loved the first two Battle Arenas. The 3rd was a little weird though....
underrated channel, wish it had more subscribers. Maybe since 8 years has been passed [of ps4/x1/wiiu] it's a good idea to begin to include dc, ps2, gamecube, ds games?
God I remember even 26 years ago thinking this music was terrible lol
The gameboy version was badass to!
I always thought it's some sort of soul blade clone... or it's the other way arround? :)
where i can find this EBOOT for mi psp? please!!! already have one, but the music is missing!!!!
Can anyone help me, please? I can't remember the name of a ps1 3D fighting game. One character was like fairy grandma that attacked by rolling a hula hoop at you vertically. There was also a fighter dressed like a businessman in a black suit. He'd say some chant and pentagram would come under your feat and do a bunch of damage.
All I can think of is Samurai Showdown
This game brought back some funny memories. Our order of the cd was somehow messed up with the character Elise. Her voice was so deep she sounded like a man. Omg her ‘AYYY’ was completely deep voiced it sounded hilarious. We seriously thought that was her legit voice in the game 🤣 Ended up purchasing another copy and it was fine this time.
"- hello, what's the weather?
- 8:35 " )))
I'm sorry, I couldn't, her and everyone voices are great, don't change anything))
[actually they are with music are great & unique, Super Smash Bros on par peaceful]
My first game
I used to love playing Sofia so I could slap people lol
Did you used the emulator of ePSXe?
Please remake or be remastered...🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tosh 2 was my favourite of the bunch.
I remember back in the day when arcades were still a big thing to go to, and this came out on display at Walmart/Target for the buyer to play. I thought these graphics were arcade quality and I though, "Wow, you can actually bring the arcade home with you!" During that time, this was the first Playstation game I ever played. Sadly, Tekken stole the spotlight from this title the way Streets of Rage stole the fire from Final Fight. I think that and Tigershark were my first Sega Cd games too.
Wtf I never got a guy named sho I only got the part where you combo Gaia and kill him
omg this game brings so much memories n makes miss my pop but they don’t make game like this anymore
I know I used to play this game with my dad but he's still alive.
@@darlenebuck9912 ....😀👍
I remember playing both the PC and PS1 versions of this game. The unique features in each version were kinda quirky.
Oddbrother Yeah, wasn't Earthworm Jim a secret character in the PC game?
He was. Had a modified moveset similar to Rungo.
Did you ever play the Game Boy version? I had that game back in the day.
I think the game's surprisingly good for GameBoy VS. Fighting game!! in my opinion, better than the Gameboy version of "Street Fighter 2"!!
Randy Dubin Yeah, it was really good
NintendoComplete Are you planning to do a video for it at some point?
Randy Dubin Yeah, I at some point want to hit all the of Takara Neo conversions on the Game Boy
THANK YOU...the first time I heard of this series was on the gameboy. My neighbour went new york a year and came back with this and it was the BEST fighting game I ever played on the GB! I bought a ps classic mini and finall played the original 3d version...i dont like this version though.
Memory unlock!
Can I use this for the montage in my video?
Ellis' theme thoooooo
No, I think this is not the game Im looking for, but is pretty similar! Does any1 else remember any other game like this where you can push your opponent out of the arena? The game had "korean like" characters, with swords. And I think in some part of the presentation or before to battle you see the characters going up in an elevator.
they need to make a Soul Calibur vs Toshinden game since Namco won't give us Virtua Fighter vs Tekken.
Great idea, but ugh virtua fighter was so bad.
So nastolgic
"Susan" lol
Thun-da ring. Razzle snake. Haha
Hahaha and Aura Repollution
@@NintendoComplete haha hell yeah
I always thought he said, Fruit Loops!
Strange. Eiji speaks his moves in Japanese but in his victory pose, he speaks English? But I like this game.
To me it sounds like he's got a large family : "Hey cousin!"
1st game was very unlucky, being outshadowed by Tekken very quickly, and after 2nd game, quality went all down to hell. Still, 4th part was precursor of modern 30 fps - better graphics but slower gameplay, or 60 fps - worse graphics, but faster gameplay
3rd game had the 60fps/30fps option as well.
First played this in the mid-2000s as i'm a sucker for "VS. Fighting" games!! I had fun with it's appealing characters and ROCKIN' soundtrack!! However, (personally)i'd say, it'd aged pretty poorly as I've been spoiled by smoother 3D fighters............I still like it and not a bad game by any means!! Favorite characters were Mondo and Eiji!!
"Rekkuu Zan!!"
"Hishou Zan!!"
RockmanSam Have you ever seen the game Vs.? Lmao talk about awesome but super-dated. Pretty good game though, once you stop feeling embarrassed for it and get past the tackiness
NintendoComplete seen it, but never played it.....as I only read a few online reviews about the game and that the original product was changed to appeal more to the western audience when it was released here in the U.S.........tho, it does look pretty cool!! i'll take yer word for it, mate!! (^_^)
You were destined to lose
RockmanSam You have no idea how much Duke pissed me off 😂
09:47 la cachetada de ls señorita Sofia XD
AURORA REVOLUUUUUTION!
No problem, stay single 4 life demons 😋💅😇
I wonder what happened to this series, surprised that it never turned up in the PS2 period, after Toshiden 2, the series died off
Hanferd There were more games. I think the must recent one was on the Wii.
NintendoComplete
The series still around? Here I thought the series died along with PSX period or at least Soul Caliber took over it
Hanferd I don't think so. The last one came out in 2009
NintendoComplete
Gotta check it out then. I always thought Toshinden died off with the PS One era
Even back then I remember this game being so clunky and slow I hated it the music was the only thing that kept me playing
The narrator sounds alot like Ser Barristan Selmy.
I seem to remember this as being some of crap cross between Soul Blade and Virtua Fighter?
I’d call this game not the greatest fighter in the world but I do appreciate it for what it is. I mean the characters are a bit slow in movement but at least all characters are able to pull off moves easily and consistently, no problem! As Eiji says, “No problem!” I really like Eiji Shinjo, he happens to be my favourite character next to Kayin Amoh, my second fav char. Man the voice acting is terrible, laughably bad, like comedic, not pathetic. Kayin sounds kind of Spanish, almost like someone off of Shrek when he says “Deadly ray!”. Eiji sounds like a Mexican in the story mode dialogue. Want a burrito, Eiji? I do think this PS version is superior to the Sat version despite its added features. Sega Saturn is terrible at polygons but great at sprites which explains why they don’t look that good and 3D objects appear mesh but sprites can appear transparent, I’ve seen that on Saturn, believe me. But I still love both PS and Saturn. But enough of that, I think Toshinden is an okay at best fighter but it does often some fun. While the graphics haven’t aged that well (what do you expect from old polygons?) the music is definitely good and music never ages, which is worth mentioning. When characters hit each other it sounds like balloons popping. The characters are definitely interesting and likeable. The gameplay is fine to me but it feels like refinement could be done but that’s what the sequels did. Believe it or not, it even has an anime series. Not that bad for a first 3D weapon fighter if you ask me. But I like the Game Boy version more as I really enjoyed it.
Sofia bitch slaps Eiji but he slides into her sending her into the abyss. “Take that, bitch!” I love how he’s nonchalant about it. “No problem!”
Ahh look voldo and wolverine must have learned from fo lol
this game was doo doo and i knew i got played when i put it in the console for the first time smh
I remember this awesome. For me it is the classic Beatm up and first one on PS1. But i remember too, thats every title after this got more worse and crazy as fu.ck. dont know what happeded after BAT3.......
The first 3 are great, the only thing I didn't like about 3 was that all the stages were cages 😭 4 I'll have to look at
9:48 hot
Gameboy version was better

Meh, I still prefer Fighters in 2D
I love all "VS.Fighters" in general, but same!! I'm more partial to 2D Fighters!!(^ v ^)
