Some suspect character design next to cool character design, it's a paradox for me. The engine seems to work more in line with brawl fighters than traditional, which often polarizes fans of the genre. I'm really taken by the character mechanics, though, these characters fight like how they look like they should (this isn't as common in fighters as you think). The chick with the book is fucking cool, and the gun slinger is actually using the damn thing as he should.

The visuals are bankrupt, even for Wii. But I'll be following this revamp. I'm not too familiar with the old series (never really liked it) but I'm ready to dive in the series if the game holds up.

Loved the old series. First PS1 game I ever played was Toshinden 1 :'(

I remember playing a kiosk at Blockbuster but I never went past that.

I believe it came as a pack in with the PS1. Least it did on mine.

I loved it at the time but the depth isn't there compared to your Tekkens, SF4s, SCIVs

Are you so sure this game will also have little depth? The dev team's are different and it looks nothing like the old game. Not saying it will be deep but no point judging that facet without playing it.

Yeah what? It's been over a decade.

Yeah, the first one was utter tosh (lol) and came with my PS1 in some bundle, which also had Tekken.

After a day of wishing I had a Saturn, I traded Tekken and Toshinden in for Street Fighter Alpha and was contented for a bit, although still wishing I had the supirior Saturn one.
