Wick update


* FranchiseKiller: ''Toshinden 4'' wasn't received well, so much that because of it, Takara decided to bury the franchise for good. An attempted revival of the franchise, titled ''Toshinden'' (with different kanji) was released for the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} in 2009, but low sales and reviews made the planned overseas localization, to be called ''War Budokai'', cancelled, ending both the revival series and the series as a whole for good.

* DuelingWorks: Back in the 1990s, Takara was duking it out with [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]]'s ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' in the specific field of 3D weapons-based fighting games. The ''Battle Arena Toshinden'' series had an earlier start (with the first [[=BAT=] coming out in January of 1995 and ''Soul Edge'' being released to arcades in December of that same year) and released more titles between the years 1995 to 1999, four games (seven if including reformulated ports and spinoffs) to only two titles for the Soul Series.

* NoExportForYou: ''Toshinden'' reboot for Wii was planned to be translated overseas by the name of ''War Budokai'', but cancelled due to the low sales and reviews in domestic market.

** ''Toshinden 4'' was released in Japan and across Europe, but not North America. This was due to poor sales and negative critical reception in those markets, and thus it was decided by Takara that it would be better to cut their losses by not having the North American release.

* KillerApp: Seen as this when it first came out, though the series later fell into decline. ''Magazine/GamePlayersMagazine'' promoted it as the "Best Brawler EVER!" on one cover, giving it 98% (the only other games that were previously given this score were ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' and the SNES port of ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Super Street Fighter II]]''), over ''Virtua Fighter'' and ''Tekken'', to whom it was a major competitor. This became {{hilarious in hindsight}} once the other series came to far surpass it, as ''Toshinden'' is nowadays considered a joke.
