  • This is different than the PSX version. That version didn't have character conversation or a intro.

  • my best friend and I both got PS1's for xmas, he got this, I got Tekken and Doom

  • 2:42 reminds me of Ike's taunt in SSBB... xD

  • toshinden vs soul caliber

  • u dont think shinden is good u fail

  • one for ps1 is better and dosent have gay cutscenes

  • I find it hard to believe reviewers actually hyped this more than Tekken and Soul Blade back in the 90s. Or so I heard.

  • @Ioselash No it wasn't more hyped, but there was still a fair amount of hype for as this guy says, its "charms". It stood out for being different and I actually loved it and played the crap out it. Actually seeing this review brings back many memories!

  • Comment removed

  • I played and still own Battle Arena Toshinden 3 on the playstation, which is way more polished then this. I still consider it to be my favorite fighting game.

  • Fuck you! The music is awesome!

  • Love this game Eiji was the best and the boss was a mofo to beat but when you played as him you would own.

  • Holy shit! He mentioned Kashmir Ninja!

  • I had this for saturn, it was cool as a kid, I think this was a prototype for soul calibur

  • i had this for ps one and it was fun

  • What's wrong with the music? That was one of my favourite parts of this game!

  • wow i thought i was the only one who played the game boy game! i have fond memories of that one, and i actually think its a far better game than when i finally played the one for PS1...

  • Battle Arena Toshinden is better than the Remix in my opinion, but not on the Saturn, PS1! Saturn only had a few good games for my taste, but out of all of this, the best in the series and in general is the PS1 release of the original Battle Arena Toshinden. Who's with me?

  • the playstation version was alot better

  • I wouldn't say the music is dreadfull, in fact I love the music. It's probably the best part of the game.

  • I have the Ps1 version of this game got it for 2 bucks at a Pawnshop.

  • One of the best Fighters ever !!

  • Remix has to have the sloppiest controls I have ever experienced in a fighting game. And yet I have a copy because it is so delightfully shitty! I would certainly recommend Toshinden URA over Remix if you ever find yourself choosing between the two.

  • Your grand slam Versus game could throw in Time Killers

  • Either the Saturn version was lacking compared to the PS version or my fond memories of this game make me bias.

  • @donfolstar no i agree w/ you. Definately better for PS

  • @donfolstar BAT and BAT 2 for the PlayStation were the better out of any of the games. However, the series which continued on the PlayStation, 3rd and 4th, were not good at all.

  • @BAlOHAZADO

    BAT 3 was actually pretty decent if you played it, it was a huge step up from 1 and 2 which were basically the same game give or take 2-3 characters.

    The 4th one was dreadful though, yes.

  • Toshinden series takes a while to get into, but becomes good after you get into the way the control timing is. Especially see Toshinden 3 for PSX, where every character has a semi-redesigned clone. There is Toshinden Subaru 4 in Japan, which I've never actually played.

  • lol scottish :D Sofia is russian and duke is german xD

  • mixing all character in fighting game?

    that's MUGEN XD

  • play Japanese version XD

  • I used to love Battle Arena Toshinden. Crappy gameplay, but even now the music is some of the most awesome.

  • @ThePsychoguy well said men, the music was awesome,

  • i love good bad games

  • bad voice acting. and it looks like shit compared to other 3D fighters.

  • " be careful... he knows our moves before we make them"

  • more shitty dub

    Thanks america

    Because reading subtitles is so hard for you!

  • @codyc67 Subtitles are there. Dont like the AWESOME dialog and voice acting, turn off your TVs volume

  • the hell did that guy do to Sofia at 2:01? Kiss her?

  • I remember I played the original BAT on the PS1. I am not sure what other fighting games were out at the time, but I did not think it was that bad. Of course looking at it today it looks and plays bad, but back then I did not know any better. And also, as I recall, attacking some one at their back you do double the damage which sounded unique and fun. Sadly no cut scenes like that though on BAT 1 for the PS1.

  • @Jerrid3 BAT was released in '94 in Japan and '95 in USA, at the time there was KoF '94, MK 3, Samurai Showdown IV, the SF Alpha/Zero Series (not to mention SSTF 2 Turbo released in '94), about the 3D fighters, Tekken was released in '95 and Tekken 2 in '96, there was also Virtua Fighter 1 in '95 and 2 in '96 and Killer Instinct for the SNES in '95 and Killer Instinct Gold in '96 so don't say "looking at it today it looks and plays bad" even back then looked and played bad...

  • @TeitiTT I just noticed I put Killer Instinct as a 3D fighter sorry about that mistake...

  • @TeitiTT

    That is fine, but even Tekken 1 and 2 looks bad and part 2 is not one of the better ones for game play, although I still love it. I can only imagine how Tekken 1 was or is...

  • @TeitiTT You can Liller Instinct anywhere I friggen LOVE that fighter! Orchid and Fulgore FTW!

  • The cutscenes are as cheesy as smell of a far!..

  • yea ivy tottally wasnt stolen from sofia....suuuuuree lol, half the moves are verbatum copies

  • my favourite caricter is that girl in latex and a whip

  • Comment removed

  • Wow i dont remember this game being so slow when it first came out

  • Wow he's actually right. that voice acting is so bad that it's actually entertaining. I can't stop grinning when they talk.

  • i dont think this game is at all too bad. its nice for a game that isnt obnoxious and takes itself too seriously

  • one of my favorite fighting games of all time

    Tobal #1

    Battle Arena Toshiden

    Versus

    Rival Schools

    nostalgia*

  • "you are destined to lews"

  • before soul calibur.....there was battle arena toshinden

  • acording to my resurch

    wepons based fighter

  • looks like Soul edge

  • Does Kayin shoot balls of fire from his balls like Angus from Kasumi Ninja?

  • Awesome game, one full of fond memories. Also, you are now hearing Eiji as Jackie Chan from Jackie Chan Adventures

  • this game is sad

  • I had this game for the Playstation. Simply awful.

    I had this one and Teken 2. I would only pop in Battle Arena Toshinden to hear the awful voice acting.

  • OMG!!!!!!!! I played this as a kid this and Marvel Vs Capcom: Clash of super heroes. Were pretty much my first fighting games. I didnt even know people cared about this game i thought i was the only one! This game is so addicting i got countless blisters mashing buttons as a small child trying to figure out how i did that jump move the girl with 2 daggers uses. I used to play this with my sister. This Frogger and Gex were my main games as a child. So glad you were able to bring back good memorys

  • all the characters in this game have a scotish accent

  • @tapion567 Scout: Uh.... NO!

  • @tapion567 You must be a pretty dumb american to think that's a scottish accent.

  • boooo! i loved bat on gameboy.... this game makes me sad :(

  • Damn that cheesy music and those "UHH" sounds, ppl think Im watching some cheap ass porn here.

  • wow horrible should have just released the second game was way better. Unless the Saturn wasn't still around at that time.

  • This is the game that got me into the Toshinden series. I didn't think it was bad at the same, seeing as how i was around 10 or so. I enjoy the characters and wish they would update this series on a more recent console.

  • i have toshinden 3 for PS1.. that game is actually a good game surprisingly. it also looks almost a generation apart from this one in terms of graphics

  • The Voice Acting is horrible. XD

    Fo sounds like Dr. Will XD

  • it was for the gameboy

  • I remember watching someone play this as a kid. I didn't think it was that good since I was introduced to Tekken2 at the time which was awesome. And does anyone see a resemblance to Soul Calibur and this game? That chick with green hair is very close to being Talim, fighting style and all. So is the chick with the whip is like Ivy too.

  • Trousers FTW!!

  • You should add "vs. Criticom" to that list. Gotta fit in all of the mediocre 3D fighters.

  • they should've named this game battle toshined hagus, most of their accents are irish.

  • rofl that game looks funny

  • Dialogue is so terrible, it makes it classic!

  • I had the PS version & my favorite thing was pulling off desperation attacks when your bar was blinking red.

  • what's with all the scottish accents? reminds of all the british ones in my kung fu movies.

  • I remember playing this at 97 or so and saying...WTF?? The gameplay was awful even at it's time.

  • I still have Battle Arena Toshinden 1 ~ 3 for my PS

  • this reminded me of playing this as a kid, thanks for the nostalgia

  • Man I had this game for Saturn, still have my Saturn don't know where this game went. Trust me this game was not considered good back in 96. The PS1 version was the one to get, but I didn't have one at the time. So I was stuck with this lol,

  • I use to have this game and loved it even though it was cheesy (even for 1996). I learned that Virtua Fighter 2 was a lot better but you could do worse (Time Killers on the Genesis!)

  • Cool.

    Though, i've only heard of the first Battle Arena Toshinden game.

    -kid thunder

  • lol ha ha what a steller review mark, and the sarcasm was better than ever in this one! I remember getting this game with my original PS1 back in 96, it was bundled with it, and man looking back on it now......i cant believe i played the hell out of it back then??? but i remember distinctly getting a demo disc with tekken 2 on it and eventually playing the demo more than the full version of battle Arena toshinden.

  • I remember Battle Arena Toshinden for the PSX. It wasn't a good game really but it was passable I guess and somewhat entertaining. But this game, it's just so corny. The voice acting and dialogue are just dreadful too.

  • Apparently someone made a new Battle Arena Toshinden for the Wii. It looks AWFUL.

  • Battle Arena Tonshinden 3 was actually really fun, I liked it when I was a kid ^^

  • The Game Boy Battle Arena Toshinden is one of the best fighting games on the system!

  • make a video of ghost and gublins

  • loool i remember pit fighter! hahah

  • Oh Toshinden... My first Playstation game with Ridge Racer and my first 3D game.

    Memories... and FO was badass :P

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo Its no of you concern what I do with my money and time, a same goes for Mark. So now STFU troll and let people be.

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo this is not the first time u are on CGR.Just go to some other place like modern game room,ur weight in this site is too heavy for me/us.

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo

    A troll in Youtube?

    Where has the world gone to?

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo Nice Job, "keep eating your twinkies and shove that wii up your ass, im sure youll be happier fuckface" I'm in awe of your ability to articulate. Maybe you should go outside for a bit, get out of your depressing shit you call home, and get a job and make some friends. Furthermore, "i dont think you have any idea defending CGR, you really have no business", Oh and you have the right to spread your visual herpes all over the videos? Ill be expecting a poorly thought out rebuttal.

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo My point is, that when you die nobody will miss you. =)

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo

    You'll never get your point across when all we see is a parade of immature swears and insults, you're one of the most pathetic human beings i've encountered.

    You don't think before you write do you?

  • @TheThrashAnvil and did you read his review on the video at hand?...wow talk about blinded, closed minded, and miss guided...

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo

    I'm not talking about games you sidestepping moron, i'm talking about the idiotic intellectually inept way you present yourself in, and your rigorous ways of trolling.

    Let me make this clear yet again.

    I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION ON GAMES!

    I am not a fanboy, I don't care about you attacking mark, but you could of done it within the rational realms of constructive criticism.

    And, you spelled Faggot with 3 g's. I just wanted to point that out.

    Now, you can troll me :)

  • Wow the dialogue is hilarious!!!

  • this game was much better on the genesis

  • @XenDamager i mean ps1 .-.*

  • Lol, from what I see mark got his own fuckin' annoying Troll who makes comments in each and every video... well I guess that's the price of being famous.

  • i wonder if he got Toshinden URA also in that stack of games. it's supposed to be better than the Remix was.

  • YOU LOST THE GAME

  • Comment removed

  • 1234 videos now

  • new  INTRO...

  • English voices sound horrible in BATrmx and dialogues are cheesy, I was lucky to play J-port of this game for PSX...

    It's very playable, you can link special attacks into powerful combos or go for ring-out

    Each character is unique and plays different, music is beautiful and graphics are stylish.

    Every aspect of the game has been improved in it's sequel, BAT2 - being the most underrated fighting game of last decade.

  • @mxzptlx1357

    i know people just don't appreciate good stuff, classic. It's better that 2 and 3, 4 no port dammit

  • Also whats up with all the homo dialogue in this version lol

  • Characters look more blocky then the psone version.

  • hey this game came out in my birth year! that explains a lot |:|

  • Capcoms next game should be Capcom Vs. Vectrex

  • hey mark do you still draw comics?

  • i own battle toshiden arena 2 on playstation 1, not for me but cant say ive seen the cut scenes lmao "im not used to talking to women" hahaha!!!

  • i had this and enjoyed it, but cant remember it being this poo !!!!

  • @ifwere1021 I've made a terrible mistake.

  • Classic Game Room HD #FTW

  • "Age doesn't matter if you've got herpes" ?!

  • @DAudIcI

    Made my day !

    Thx man

  • wierd

  • why are they talking like that?

  • Even King of Fighters Series is a 2D Fight Game, it's better than this crap D:

    Sega FAIL

  • This is suck ass!

  • slow ass game

  • The voice's suck of this game... Your 100% right at 4:15

  • I remember this for the Playstation...but I thought there were some awesome super moves or something.

  • Damn ads I have enough on tv

  • I thought Sofia was blond, not brunette. I guess she dyes her hair.

  • Sofia was in Attack of the Evil TV :P

  • I like how sofia screems

  • Toshinden was a great for its time, and i would love to own this again. The thing is that you had to learn the moves. they had read good specials.yeah i do agree with andoc it hasnt age well at all..lol

  • damn fucking youtube ads!!!!!! >:(

  • I loved Toshinden on the original Playstation, it's a game that's still fun to play, even if it hasn't aged well at all; the sequels were pretty much terrible, though. Nice review.

  • He should be called haggis XD I'm half Scottish and that was the worst Scottish accent I've EVER heard lol

  • I knew from the first 10 seconds of this video it'd be another great classic game room video.

  • I think the best game ever would be Marvel VS Nintendo!

  • Oh god, your choice of opening scenes is always good for a laugh.

    "You're fighting in this tournament! You're just a girl" *CGR jingle*

  • Tournament Fighters TMNT For SNES

  • There should be a way to ban people from the comments, for instance, lewdcrudetattoo, no body want his opinion, but he seems obliged to defecate on CCR videos.

  • @OldManMcScrotumFace Fuck censorship. Just thumb down his comments to let him know they suck. Or retort and show him what a retard is.

  • @Kahalasama He's a hypocrite he's got megaman games on his channel.

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo Not as much as having 3 black dicks up your ass, im sure you're very familiar with that feeling. see what i did there? i did exactly what you did! Why don't you watch IGN or Gamespot, "real" journalists, Instead Of Classic Game Room, CLASSIC, not Faggy Overated FPS Room and I Don't think Mark will listen to a 12 year old about what a good review is, if you don't like it why don't grow a pair and deal with it, Nobody has to take you "advice". THE truth hurts, doesn't it =)

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo *Applauds* Good comeback bro. Your really something.

    Seriously, this is like the 5th comment i've seen on Mark's videos from him (theres probaly more) and get this, he's a suscriber. Kid must have no life.

  • i remember seeing this running in a store, as a new game on the new Playstation, and i was so awed... and there i was, 'only' buying Knuckles Chaotix for my 32X. (which luckily was an awesome game!)

  • @deathtsunami It is called "The cheesy voice acting of the late 90s".

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo

    I pretty much agree with you (wouldn't choose such harsh words tho)...but for people who played those games it is funny to remember the old days through mark's vids.

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo 3 words: CLASSIC Game Room

  • @LewdCrudeTattoo Well how about, I dunno, the importance and relevance of gaming history? The "old" dude over at InecomCompany is doing us all a favor by exposing the younger generation to games we may have never heard of or played before. And y'know, people still do play their Saturns, N64s, PS1s, and so on for nostalgia. Games are a lot different now than they were back then. It's important not to just say "screw old stuff!!!", as that mentality is destructive and ignorant. Respect classics.

  • @RockyRaccoonYT I'm 17 i didn't know what Sega Genesis was until i saw Mark's review, but now i cant play Next Gen games without thinking how crappy they are in comparison to retro.

  • @OldManMcScrotumFace Good point man. I think that there was actually a lot of bad quality stuff in the days of retro like there is now, but there are lots of weird retail/developer differences nowadays such as the introduction of DLC, pre-order exclusive content, the importance of online, and so on. I feel there have been some amazing games this generation, and some equally amazing games from the retro era. Good games will always be good, while bad games will always be bad. To me, at least. :)
