Battle Arena Toshinden Remix, called Toshinden S (闘神伝Ｓ) in Japan, is a 3D fighting game in Takara's Battle Arena Toshinden series of games, released for the Sega Saturn in 1995.

Remix is an enhanced port of the 1995 PlayStation game, Battle Arena Toshinden (simply known as Toshinden in Japan). In its original incarnation, it acted as the PlayStation's answer to Virtua Fighter, a battle it was largely considered to have won as a showcase for the then-new generation of hardware.

Gameplay

Character select

Characters

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

All of the characters from the original PlayStation game return, along with a new character, Cupido.

	Eiji Shinjo

	Kayin Amoh

	Sofia

	Rungo Iron

	Fo Fai

	Mondo

	Duke B. Rambert

	Ellis

Bosses

	Gaia

	Sho Shinjo

	Cupido

History

Legacy

A sequel was later released as Battle Arena Toshinden URA, which derives from the PlayStation game Battle Arena Toshinden 2.

Versions

Remix adds a new computer generated introduction to the game, as an all-new story mode, and a exclusive character called Cupido. This is Cupido's only appearance in the series.

With the release of this Remix edition, Battle Arena Toshinden became the first Western title that could be compared directly across the Saturn and PlayStation^[8]. However, the results generally favour Sony's machine, which operates at a higher resolution and a higher polygon count. The original Toshinden also runs faster, while the Saturn conversion has to make compromises owing to its lack of alpha transparency.
