Battle Arena NiToshinden is a 1996 fighting game developed by Japan Vistec and published by Takara for the PlayStation.

It was only released in Japan;[3] it was planned for the US under the name of Toshinden Kids but was canceled.

[citation needed] Nitoshinden features super deformed characters, similar to those in Virtua Fighter Kids.

The title Nitōshinden (にとうしんでん) is a combination of the franchise's name Toshinden (闘神伝) with the Japanese term nitōshin (二頭身).

The side step moves still exist, however blocking of other attacks is now done with a parry button that repels an opponent's attack, stunning them for a short time.
