Examiner: The latest Famitsu issue reveals that a new Fist of the North Star (known as Hokuto no Ken in Japan) game styled after the Dynasty Warriors series will be heading to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
hmmm i hope its a lot damn better then dynasty warriors since they really only have to focus on one person KENSHIRO hopefully Raoh and Laoh are playable
From Japanese blogs,default usable characters are: Kenshiro, Yuria, Raoh, Toki, Thouther. Which means there will most likely be unlockable characters too.
Most of the Hokuto no Ken games I've seen were 1 on 1 beat em ups and none of em were too great, which is a real shame as I loved the anime. I remember the Megadrive title as well which was dubbed Last Battle (I think) many moons ago. I remember completing that one but man it was BAD!
I think Dynasty warriors style could compliment Kenshiro pretty damn well. Loads and loads of enemys reeling back and exploding in a bloody mess a few seconds after you've hit them. If they do it well, this could just be the type of game to do the series Justice!
don't watch this if you haven't seen Fist of the northstar yet http://i33.tinypic.com/2s9r... that's called Hokuto Shin Ken, it makes your head xplode :P
I thought the capcom ps1/arcade (did it come out on Saturn?) title was pretty good. Yet I've never seen a decent FotNS game. I'm hoping this title will change that.
Have some of you ever played some of the past fist of the northstar games? From the NES days all the way up to the PS2 era almost ALL of them sucked on every system. Unless they somehow upped the ante on this game, it probably isn't much to get excited about.
Love the Anime series, oav, and animated movies of this, but the games do NOT to the series justice.
I agree, all the FotNS tiltes I've seen or played were either pretty bad or down right appalling. But this is a different style for a Fist game. All the others I've seen have been 1 on 1. The megadrive title was similar I guess albeit in 2D.
If they can get the movement gameplay down to something similar to DW / NG / DMC / GoW / Bayonetta... Smooth with a lot of move variety/combos and can have the enemeys erupt in the usual Fist of the north star fountain of blood it would be a winner in my book.
