this game is probably the reason why I was such a pervert as a kid. I remember when I was 5 or 6 my step-dad played this with my brother on an old demo disk which I think also had one of the jumping flash games. one of the characters was (from what I remember ) basically in her underwear blocked by a see-through white dress. my step-dad could tell I couldn't stop staring at her legs, got me spyro 3, and told me I could only play that.

greatest? um no.
but I do thank it for saving me from throwing away my money on a Saturn. I was really feeling the itch to play VF2, but I knew in my heart that Sega would abandon the console like it did SegaCD and 32x leaving me high and dry. when I tried this game in a toy store I was like "yeah I'll just get a playstation."

Kayin because his original voice is fucking badass, the English versions changed it to have some terrible Scottish accent. And he can do splits with his leg on fire and wields Excalibur.
Mondo was cool too though.

>>5756245
Jim is just a skin swap of Rungo though.

>>5757494
No, the PC version was ported by PIE Interactive who also worked on Earthworm Jim PC, so they added him. They also totally rewrote the code for DOS so the game has silky smooth zero lag controls, minimal polygon warping, and extremely good animation. And they used the original voices, not the terrible english ones.

If it retained the 3d backgrounds and the transparency effects, I'd say the PC port of Toshinden 1 was the definitive edition of the game.

Saturn port was the worst. Made the game look like ass and control worse than the original.

It gets props for Cupido though, whose theme is the best tune in the SERIES.

And yeah, Toshinden had fucking awesome music throughout the entire series.

I don't even consider it near the greatest, but it was a system seller for me. Convinced me that I had to have a Playstation. The first title I mained Ellis, because crouching light attacks lead to everything for days, plus the clear pants helped the appeal. However, favorite character would be Tracy back then, but Vermillion was pretty cool tool.

Bad game with nice art and awesome OST.

The first one was a million seller, but by the second game the series was already dead and it is now completely forgotten with no chances of coming back.

I would bring it back with 3D cel-shaded graphics and make it the ultimate 90's anime game.

With the first game selling so well, the developers were tricked into believing that Toshinden was actually big, a new classic, and created some weird spinoffs.
A Toshinden Puzzle, of course, the fans DEMANDED it.

But this piece of shit here is easily the worst, NITOSHINDEN, easily one of the worst fighting games I ever played.
It may look cute in some screenshots, but the characters warp in weird ways and the movemente and collision are really bad.

Anonymous Tue Jul 23 19:39:32 2019 No.5759149

Toshinden could've been more popular in the west, if the game had better animation instead of what looked like 10 fps non-interpolated keyframes with jerky vertex points, and if the game controls didn't have 2 seconds of lag for every button press.

The PC version of the first game was recoded by a different team and had those fixed. It plays ten times better that way.

Also they kept making the game worse and worse with each sequel. Although the third game gets props for how bizarre the cast was, it made for a really great party game.

the series was actually pretty popular in Japan, partially because the character designer was a very big name at the time (also did Saber Marionette).

Puzzle Arena, Card Battle, and NiToshinden were just simple, "budget" titles to cash in on popular trends at the time. For Puzzle Arena it it was Puzzle Fighter 2 and that Konami puzzle game (tokimeki puzzledama? Puzzle Arena played the exact same, even...). Card Battle I'm unsure on, but it's not like there was ever a shortage of card battle crap in japan.

For NiToshinden, it was partially a crossover with some other media I long forgot, and partially egging on Virtua Fighter Kids.

I "borrowed" a uncut VHS from Blockbuster, made several copies, and solid them for like 5 bucks each to a bunch of kids in school. Made enough to buy a few games.
Being related to a Blockbuster manager, endless supplies of blank tapes, and having two VCRs had it's advantages I guess.
I really like the ending theme too, it makes me nostalgic.
