Fist of the North Star, is coming to the PS3 and 360 in Japan. Koei held a huge press event last night showing off the title. Pressure points were hit and people exploded, as Koei unveiled the first ever gameplay clip of the game.
However, despite the franchise being very popular worldwide, it seems like Koei is questioning whether or not the franchise will leave Japan.
"Musou or Warriors games are usually about a combination of completing mini missions and killing waves and waves of enemies with visually gratifying attacks. Now Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage (Or Hokuto Musou) is not the first in the Musou series to be based on an anime, as Gundam was released before it, but it is definitely a perfect fit for the gameplay style and feel of a Musou game"
Andriasang: Tecmo Koei is making things a bit more affordable for those who picked up Fist of the North Star International yesterday. Buyers now have access to a special "Complete Pack" download item.
Joystiq: "What motivates the thugs in the Fist of the North Star universe? "Sure, that guy Ken just punched through the last 400 identical guys like they were tissue paper, but I'll get the drop on him." You won't. Go home. Be with your loved ones."
The better. I know the Warrriors franchise isn't that popular here, but this one looks amazingly awesome! If they don't, I'm sending Kenshiro after them!
WATATATATATATATATATATATA!
What game is this, God Hand 2 cause thats what it looks like to me.
They might not release it in the states but they're going to release it on 360 in Japan...
Considering the amount of 360 users in Japan and then the amount of people in the states with 360's and PS3's that doesn't seem like a particualrly wise buisness move.
If they're unsure about releasing in the states, I guess we can kiss any chance of this coming to the UK goodbye. Thank god for region free titles.
