'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', called '''''Toshinden URA''''' (闘神伝URA) in Japan, is an entry in [[Takara]]'s ''[[:Category:Battle Arena Toshinden|Battle Arena Toshinden]]'' series of fighting games, released in 1996 for the [[Sega Saturn]].
 +
 
 +
It is a spin-off title based on the [[PlayStation]] game ''Battle Arena Toshinden 2'', but it differs in story, characters, and gameplay. It serves as a sequel to ''[[Battle Arena Toshinden Remix]]''. It is the second and final ''Battle Arena Toshinden'' game to appear on a Sega system.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
Sometime after the end of the first Toshinden Tournament, martial arts experts across the world begin vanishing. Police are mystified by the disappearances, which, unbeknowst to them, are the work of an android fighter called the Replicant. A scientist named Ronron started the Toshinhei Replicant project in order to create a peace enforcement robot, which was modeled after the world's greatest fighter, Sho Shinjo. However, the prototype was stolen before it could be completed, and the machine was turned rogue by an unknown actor.
 +
 
 +
At the same time, a mysterious traveler known as Ripper is searching for his sister. He believes that Sho is responsible for her disappearance and seeks him out.

Four characters were removed from the [[PlayStation]] game; Gaia, Chaos, Uranus, and Master. Four exclusive characters are added in their place; Ripper, Ronron, Replicant, and Wolf. Gameplay was altered, making the game feel somewhat different. There are also new arenas, a new story, and a different CG intro.

===Characters===

Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, {{left}} and {{right}} should be reversed. {{slash}} refers to either slash button, while {{kick}} refers to either kick button.

All of the characters return from ''[[Battle Arena Toshinden Remix]]'' except for Gaia and Cupido. Three new playable characters have been added (Tracy, Ripper, and Ronron) as well as one new hidden character (Vermilion) and two new bosses (Replicant and Wolf).

While this would be the last ''Toshinden'' game for a Sega console, the [[PlayStation]] would receive two more sequels, ''Battle Arena Toshinden 3'' and ''Toshinden 4'', and a spin-off with super-deformed characters (similar to ''[[Virtua Fighter Kids]]'') called ''Battle Arena Nitoushinden''.

The Saturn version has a different story from the original ''Battle Arena Toshinden 2'' for the [[PlayStation]]. Four characters were removed from the PlayStation game (Gaia, Chaos, Uranus, and Master), and four exclusive characters are added in their place (Ripper, Ronron, Replicant, and Wolf). Gameplay was altered, making the game feel somewhat different. There are also new arenas, a new story, and a different CG intro.

Battle Arena Toshinden URA, called Toshinden URA (闘神伝URA) in Japan, is an entry in Takara's Battle Arena Toshinden series of fighting games, released in 1996 for the Sega Saturn.

It is a spin-off title based on the PlayStation game Battle Arena Toshinden 2, but it differs in story, characters, and gameplay. It serves as a sequel to Battle Arena Toshinden Remix. It is the second and final Battle Arena Toshinden game to appear on a Sega system.

Story

Sometime after the end of the first Toshinden Tournament, martial arts experts across the world begin vanishing. Police are mystified by the disappearances, which, unbeknowst to them, are the work of an android fighter called the Replicant. A scientist named Ronron started the Toshinhei Replicant project in order to create a peace enforcement robot, which was modeled after the world's greatest fighter, Sho Shinjo. However, the prototype was stolen before it could be completed, and the machine was turned rogue by an unknown actor.

At the same time, a mysterious traveler known as Ripper is searching for his sister. He believes that Sho is responsible for her disappearance and seeks him out.

History

Legacy

While this would be the last Toshinden game for a Sega console, the PlayStation would receive two more sequels, Battle Arena Toshinden 3 and Toshinden 4, and a spin-off with super-deformed characters (similar to Virtua Fighter Kids) called Battle Arena Nitoushinden.

Versions

The Saturn version has a different story from the original Battle Arena Toshinden 2 for the PlayStation. Four characters were removed from the PlayStation game (Gaia, Chaos, Uranus, and Master), and four exclusive characters are added in their place (Ripper, Ronron, Replicant, and Wolf). Gameplay was altered, making the game feel somewhat different. There are also new arenas, a new story, and a different CG intro.
