Puzzle Arena Toshinden?!

Yep, it's Puzzle Arena Toshinden. Not to be outdone by Capcom or Sega of Japan's variations of popular fighting games, Takara will be introducing a puzzle game version of its Battle Arena Toshinden series in Japan this June under the title Puzzle Arena Toshinden. Yes, it does have the look of Capcom's Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo II.

The release of Puzzle Arena Toshinden makes one wonder if a side-scroller along the lines of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero or a Toshinden Kart racing game is on the horizon. Be sure to take a look at the VGS review of the "kids" version of Battle Arena Toshinden as well (which we rated as a poor clone of Sega's Virtua Fighter Kids).
