Virtua Fighter on the Saturn is a much better game than this mess. Graphically there isn't much difference between the PSX and Saturn version of Toshinden, either. Tekken 1 came out on the PSX not much later and this game was forgotten forever.
Yes I went to circuit city and bought the PlayStation. The 1st day or came out. And this game! 2 controllers. Went home and had hours and hours and hours of fun playing my friends. It was great!
@@jg_crusadeVirtua Fighter released in arcades in 1993 with it releasing on Saturn in 1994 in Japan and months before Toshinden in America. Virtua Fighter 2 was out in Japan already plus Tekken was out in all regions in arcades before Toshinden launched, I don’t know where you came up with Toshinden coming first
I still play this game even now, on my PS3 and on PC using an emulator. The characters, voices, settings, moves and the music is just epic beyond words. This so needs a modern remake.
@@onehitwonder4470 What’s sad is your comment what are you 12?? I love PC over all console too but I don’t talk sh*t yo people about it. I’ve been on PS since 95 and now own a PS5!! I don’t have that kind of nostalgia with PC tbh. I like both ✊🏽✌🏽
This was the fighting game I played a lot during PS1 before the introduction of Tekken. Catchy beats, fun characters and hilarious graphics! I loved it!!
I remember going into a games store on PSX release day and seeing this game on a big screen. I must have stood there watching for the best part of an hour. I would have given absolutely anything to have walked out with a PSX that day.
Takes me back to Christmas Day 1995. I got a ps1 and a demo disc that had this game and jumping flash on it. I immediately took my Christmas money and bought this game the next day after I played it on the demo.
Seeing Kayin again made me remember of all the raging moments I had as a kid when fighting him. That goddam Kayin and his dumb little song. Pissed me off so much. I miss that.
I used to play the shit out of this when I was like five years old and I’ve been looking for gameplay footage of it forever now. Criminally underrated fighting game.
@@J-Hue Oh serious?? Going from my SNES to a Sega machine could be hard for me. But could be worth it for an awesome new Sonic game. Imagine how good Sonic would be on hardware even better than this new PSX!!!!
@@robertwilson3866 The Saturn came out already, but Virtua Fighter looks so old compared to Battle Arena Toshinden! Virtua Fighter 2 is meant to come out soon though, and it looks to be extremely impressive for an early game.
I remember my jaw hitting the floor the first time I played this game. It was the first PS1 game I ever played, and those 3D graphics were blowing my mind, lol.
I remember when we figured out that the background music was just a randomly selected CD audio track on the game disk, and you could swap the disk for another one after the bout started. It was so funny fighting to the sounds of Willie Nelson.
I remember when this came out me and my best friend would play for hours and boy did this have a good soundtrack. People hate on this game but it was and still is a blast to play alone or with a good friend.
And he finished on the hardest move. Kept going for that flame kick with an inch of lifebar and got a special move finish. I was gripped. I love this game
I remember playing this game with my friend when i was younger, a really fun fighting game which i will probably have to purchase at some point to relive some memories :)
I can't remember if I was at Target or Toys r Us, both were out of town and we didn't go their often because it was out of town. Anyone, the PS had just launched and I laid eyes on it for the first time during our shopping trip there. I had never experienced a 3D game before (well maybe Starfox), but 11 year old me was floored. They had a PS setup with the demo version of this game. Me and my stepdad played for quite awhile. I was instantly hooked. I never even heard of this game but I had to have it in my collection. That Christmas I got my PS1 with this game and Mortal Kombat 3. Just hearing this music brings a tear to my eye. Now I'm 40 years old and the soundtrack to this game still pops up in my head fairly regularly (Ellis's theme🔥). Music really is a time machine.
First game that make me crazy as a child. Back when I was young, it was only available on arcade machine in my local store. When my dad bought me PS1 and they make it available on PS1, I had no hesitate buying it at all. What really memorable for me the most is this game music. It is extremely good and give kind of unique 90s nostalgic vibe. The characters are also great. :D
I used to play the heck out of this, but one of the first things that stuck out to me, since I play competitively in fighting games now, is that Ellis’ “dragon punch” is unsafe on HIT? What the! XD
Omg i was just searching for Sonic Heroes in my cd box and i found there a PS1 game,i just saw it is:Battle Arena Toshinden,and i was so happy when i finally found the title. And,i love it very much ,it brings back memories.Many memories.

Absolutely! when I got my PS1 back in 1996 Christmas this was the Only game my mom brought for me at the time.

Same. This and parappa
I have been searching for this game for many years.. i found it. My favorite childhood time game.
It Was my favourite too
I still have this game & love it. Still play it from time to time with my older brother like we use to when we were younger
Random Famous RUclips commenter Nope there were no save features for this game untill i think the third one
+Random Famous RUclips commenter YEAH
Who else is here cause they had a flash back of their past
Yes.
Definitely
Me! I heard the tune in the back of some video and took me ages to finally drag up enough memory of it to find this. Quality.
Yes
Absolutely! Mostly because of the Japanese Anime movie
Ahhh, one of the first PlayStation games ever. This came with my first PS, and I played it constantly.
teckworks It was also the first ever 3D fighting game ever made.
@@jg_crusade Nope, that was Virtua Fighter a couple months before
Same here, I miss my original PS1 with this game

This.........seriously needs a reboot. O-O
OMG the first Playstation game I ever played as it was on a demo booth in Toys'R Us.
They still have These at Some Game Store
Too bad the game sucks
I played this game at toys’r us too this game is the reason why I wanted a ps1
15:08 my favorite moment of playing PS1 in 1996
lol. Mine too, when playing Demo 1 disc :)
aaaa
@@karelpipa wa prepet
shadows of smash bros ringouts to come
Duke's theme is still damn good after all these years

This is the game that convinced me to get a ps1, and start down the road of ps1, ps2, ps3, and now ps4. One game.
Narfle Jessut i think arguably ps had the best games and became one of the best systems
sad. come to pc masterrace
@@onehitwonder4470 What’s sad is your comment what are you 12??

I don’t have that kind of nostalgia with PC tbh.
I like both ✊🏽✌🏽
@@JoeyBK_86 no. im 14 now.
These were the days.. how i miss the 90's !!
Love how Sofia screamed her moves before she did them but it was too slow to block them anyway.
I remember playing the demo of this on the PS1 demo disc way back in '95. Good times
Pizza Hut demos!
Wow this games brings back sooo many memories!!! :,) I will always love Fo’s laugh ek ek ek ek ek ek ek ek!!
This game is 30 years old, what a time has been fly
Dude this music is epic!
I still listen to this games musics during jugging lol
I was in love with this game’s soundtrack back in the day.
The game sucks so bad like seriously, it's really bad
Lmao

No Problem!
duke's theme is arguably the best psx song ever made
I may have to grab this again! The music was epic!
Damn!!! This takes me back bro
I remember playing this on the ps1 demo disk with my dad... aah the memories. I was around 4-5 years old, and now im 18. Time flies.
Hola guapo 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
And now you’re 23
I hope you're doing well at 24

+ HumorLovinGuy
Kayin was my 2nd favorite character. Loved doing his rainbow kick combo.
Hahaha he made me destroy my controller when i was a kid
This was one of the earliest video games I can ever remember playing! This and Twisted Metal 2.
9:24 eiji falls duke is like im coming for you lol and he falls too hahah
it took me more than a decade to find the name of this game. I loved the music when I was kid. Now I finally found it :)
I used to play the shit out of this when I was like five years old and I’ve been looking for gameplay footage of it forever now. Criminally underrated fighting game.
Lol... I love how Duke holds a 2-handed sword with 2 hands, but manages to swing it with 1-hand just as fast as Eiji's single-handed blade.
This was also my first PS1 game. Sofia’s stage music was always my favorite and probably subconsciously shaped me into who I am.
Whoa
I miss those times, when I was a kid I wanted to grow up fast and now Im 35 and want to be a kid again
This looks awesome. I am thinking of upgrading my SNES soon. Could be my first buy. Imagine what games will look like in 10 years time!!
lol You might wanna hold off on that ps1. I hear Sega's working on a new system that's about to kill the competition.

@@ColossalKilla “that’s the joke”
I remember playing this in my local Toys R Us when it came out. This is the reason we bought a PS1
This game was lit asf back in the day 🙌🏾 so many fighting tournaments as a kid
Duke's theme still slaps so hard even today
8:50 Duke ost memory 🤩🤩🤩🤩
nice video brings back so many memories !
yyy
Ive played this late 90s when this was released. But when tekken 2 was released ive become a tekken afficionado ever since.
Ahhh the nostalgia is strong with this one!!!.
this was my first psx game. played it over and over again..
thoshinden and ridge racer, for the rest of the year i didn´t need any more games.
I love the soundtrack of this game
Man I spent YEARS trying to get aeris's music out of my head... Thanks a lot!
8:53 "Dance, Dance - Revolution"
I remember my jaw hitting the floor the first time I played this game. It was the first PS1 game I ever played, and those 3D graphics were blowing my mind, lol.
You derped good at 9:30 XD. Such nostalgia, I had forgotten the name of this game
888
This game and Pandemonium. My first psx video games. Loved it, still rocks.
I'm 24 years old now, I had this game when I was 6 years old.
My first PS1 game
I'm just now noticing that Eiji has no shoes on.
I thought his shoes was skin colored lol
I loved this game then, and I love this game now.
): i miss playing this game with my brother, it was such a good game and so entertaining, absolutely one of the best fighting games i’ve ever played
I remember when we figured out that the background music was just a randomly selected CD audio track on the game disk, and you could swap the disk for another one after the bout started. It was so funny fighting to the sounds of Willie Nelson.
OMG YESS, I have been searching for the title of this game for years
This and Wipeout were my first 2 PS1 games. Memories... =)
I remember when this came out me and my best friend would play for hours and boy did this have a good soundtrack. People hate on this game but it was and still is a blast to play alone or with a good friend.
I might have been around 6-7 when I played this, so it surprised me how hard the nostalgia kicked in when I heard a few of the soundtracks
@ANNABECKDK Sho Shinjo is in here as well. On the main title screen press Up, Down, Up, Down, Down, and Triangle.
This was a really good game. It’s a shame it really didn’t catch on
Oh my god he is actually using special moves!
You have no idea how rare that is.
No desperation moves though, would have loved to see those again...
And he finished on the hardest move. Kept going for that flame kick with an inch of lifebar and got a special move finish. I was gripped. I love this game
Lmao dude accidentally doing a move had me like a mad scientist trying to recreate the exact environment that led to it initially again
The soundtrack during the mondo fight brings back great memories. That song is fire until it gets cut off by EIJI’s NO PRABLAM 😂
THIS was THE game that made me get the 1st PLAYSTATION..🥰🥰😍😍😆I miss it..
Used to have this this back in the day loved it
I remember playing this game with my friend when i was younger, a really fun fighting game which i will probably have to purchase at some point to relive some memories :)
We had so much fun with the ring outs.. ^^
So many good memories.
This was fun back in the early PS days.
I love the ending credits music and the way he says no probLem
9:25 lmfao love that draw it had me dead
tttt
To this day when someone asks me to do something I say “No Problem” in the same cadence as this dude. Until today however, I had forgotten why!
So much nostalgia... I was really young when I played this game, I remember always using duke but I don't remember how ridiculously OP he is.
YEAH! Duke was my choice too haha
Love the soundtrack :)
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The music of Duke is wonderful
@@charlyregnier22 I am agree.
The Gaia's OST reminds me the imperial march from Star Wars. My favorite track, then comes Duke's.
Nice music vs Sho, that reference of Toccata and Fugue by Bach was very cool
15:08 those days used to be very common in 3D fighting games where the CPU jumps or do an attack that take it out of the ring.
I can't remember if I was at Target or Toys r Us, both were out of town and we didn't go their often because it was out of town.

Toshinden, from Playstation's cradle days,
the Dawn of the Polygon era lies with this game,
Good to see it again

One of my first games... good memories. It took years for me to figure out how to unlock Sho (battle after Gaia.)
i played the demo on pc back in the day, i dint have a clue what i was doing but i LOVED it! damn i want to play it again
Man this brings back so many memories
Such a good soundtrack
1995 when you popped this game in, you knew the era of Next Gen gaming had truly arrived...
Yep....I loved this game for its music....good old 90s :D
I honestly thought this game sucked compared to Tekken, but I still get nostalgic watching this.
Very underrated fighting game
this game was so good
Ah, I was 9, first game I played on my first system, still remembers Fu's face first slide attack, down+triangle lol.
One of the best games ever :)
Lmao
What a bad game ... It was a terrible game... Un juego malísimo
One of the poorer fighting games on the system. I like the Japenese-ness of it though, and it was fun for a while - until better games were released.
not even in the top 5000 tbh
Tekken 3 has entered the chat
I remember playing this very young like 5 or 6, surprisingly duke was my favorite character to play
Omg i was just searching for Sonic Heroes in my cd box and i found there a PS1 game,i just saw it is:Battle Arena Toshinden,and i was so happy when i finally found the title.
And,i love it very much ,it brings back memories.Many memories.
Old but gold ❤😌
Bought it by accident, and this was one sweet accident, had so much fun with Toshinden 1 and 2.
There was Earthworm Jim too if i remember correctly
Sofia's stage has the best music. HANDS DOWN
This is my first game I have play
