Battle Tryst

Like Fighting Bujutsu, Battle Tryst was never ported to any home console after its arcade release. Tryst uses a three-button 8-way joystick layout that is similar to the one in Sega's Virtua Fighter series, as well as the time release being adopted from Namco's Tekken series. The opening and character endings use real Japanese animation. Film director Mamoru Oshii took charge of the storyboard of the animations, while Shujiro Hamakawa designed the characters. Simon and Richter Belmont from the Castlevania series were planned to appear in Battle Tryst, as well as Madoka from the TwinBee series, but all three were canceled. The game was exhibited at the February 1998 AOU Show.
