Anybody here fans of Fist of the North Star?

[Ack]

I figured you might be interested in watching this gameplay sample then:

So it looks like a big 3D beat 'em up...which is exactly what it should be. The AI doesn't really impress me much at this point, but I have no idea how far into development the title is, it seems it was only announced at the last TGS.

But the big thing for me in this trailer...one of the guys he smacks at one point bloats up and explodes in the background. I'm sold.

Well I had seen some of the Anime for it year ago, so I'm definitely sold on it if it doesn't suck.

And we better be seeing an American release!

From what I understand, Koei says that the game will have a simultaneous international release, "given the international familiarity with Fist of the North Star."

Both Kotaku and Destructoid have been extremely excited for this game, so you can just give "Hokuto Musou" a search in either of those places and find more about it.

Can't wait for this game!

I'm really surprised it's getting an international release but it's great to hear.

I'm a fan of Fist of the North Star watched the anime awhile back. I'm excited to see it coming to US!!

I love Fist of the North Star. This game looks like a cool beat 'em up.

I am relieved that Koei is taking care of it. They shouldn't be afraid to add buckets of blood to every game they own.


On an unrelated note, can you guys imagine a Berserk game from Team Ninja? I just got shivers....

Well, I'm not a huge fan of the Ninja Gaiden series, but I was thinking that the Musou style would be perfect for a Berserk game. More-over, I'd like to play a game where I can co-op - Kenshiro and Guts taking it to the house, back to back.

I'm not a huge anime fan, but hearing about this game has reminded me that I should probably check out the old tv show..it looks pretty cool
