The thing about Toshinden is, it was absolute fucking trash in its time. I remember being so hyped thanks to GameFan's ridiculous fanboy slobbering, then getting my import system and.. what the FUCK is this? There was NO gameplay by any standard, pre- or post-3D.BryanM wrote:You can't give Objective Points to Toshinden for being a product of its time, only Nostalgia Points. If we can write off large portions of the C64, 2600, Star Wars, etc, Battle Arena can't get a pass.
Whatever credit you want to give based on the time, you have to remember that Virtua Fighter and Tekken both already existed - and Tek was right there on the same platform. Toshinden could never stand alongside either one. There was absolutely no excuse for the hyperbole spewed about that game pre-launch.
