The latest issue of Famitsu has a first report on Toshinden, a Wii fighting game from Takara Tomy.
You might hear the name "Takara" and "Toshinden" and think that this is a new version of the fighting series that, for better or worse, ended up being one of Sony's banner titles back at the original PlayStation's launch. Actually, a little sidebar in the Famitsu clarifies that the new title is a completely original game, with an original world setting and original characters. The Japanese kanji writing for the name is even different.
Like the old PlayStation fighter, the new Toshinden is weapon-based. The game's storyline revolves around a fight to determine the strongest "Toshinki," which appears to be just some fancy name for a weapon. The game's cast of fighters make use of these weapons.
Toshinden promises a "thrilling" combat system that can be experienced with a simple control scheme. Most attacks can be performed with a single button press. The game also has a "combo make system," which allows you to freely create an original combo.
Development on Toshinden is currently at 20% with a release listed by the magazine as TBA.
