"The Lost Fighting Game Legacy" Can there ever be another Battle Arena Toshinden game?

Fighting Game Banter Podcast

Plenty of Fighting Game franchises popped up in the 90's but disappeared as quickly as they arrived. While a lot of niche titles have found success with not just a new audience, but the ability to play these niche games online. And some even get side tournament play at major FGC events. However, there is one franchise that was important to the transition to 3D fighting games as well as the one of the first console exclusive fighting games. Battle Arena Toshinden was the first fighting game published and released for the Sony PlayStation. But as time flew by, games such as Tekken 2, Soul Edge/Blade, and even Mortal Kombat 4 would make it clear, Toshinden was behind the times. So, with older series like Virtua Fighter and Fatal Fury getting new games in the next few years, is it possible for Battle Arena Toshinden to come back as well? We will take a look at the history of Toshinden, why there hasn't been a new game, and how it's legacy can create something for the future.
