Battle Arena Toshinden is the first 3D fighting game where every character totes a weapon of some sort. It's also a PlayStation launch title game in both US and Europe.

Regional Differences#

To do:
Balance was adjusted for the US/European versions. Someone who knows about fighting games should look into that.

The English text present in the Japanese version was tweaked and improved for the international versions.
