Madman Arena

History

Battle Arena Toshinden 2, or Toshinden 2 (闘神伝2) in Japan, is a 1995 fighting video game developed by Tamsoft and published by Takara. Unlike the original Battle Arena Toshinden which was only for home systems, this sequel was originally a coin-operated arcade game for the Sony ZN-1 hardware, released in November 1995 and distributed by Capcom before its port to PlayStation shortly afterwards. Toshinden 2 featured changes in mechanics for faster gameplay and introduced the Overdrive meter. New starting characters Chaos and Tracy were added, while the former boss Gaia is demoted, having lost his armor.
