Fist of the North Star Musou Trailer is Here

Punch your problems away, and become a true man.

  
   
We have been teased with brief glimpses of gameplay for the new Fist of the North Star Musou game coming out in the future, but now we can finally look at the real McKenshiro. Of course we are once again shown the fantastic opening cinematic, but after that you get thrown right in to Kenshiro’s story mode, ripped straight from the anime’s storyline. For me it looks a little bit different than a regular Dynasty Warriors games, it doesn’t seem to follow the normal ‘kill the general on the map to win’ type gameplay the series is infamous for. I’m pumped for this game, hell I even removed my shirt in preparation.

Lordy, who the hell needs steroids when you can just watch that opening sequence and get a lot of testosterone.

Is this coming to America? There has been a grand total of two Fist of the North Star games, one on the Family Computer and the other on the Game Boy, that made it to the states so far.

Wow. I'd buy this.
 
@Jhentoh: There was also an arcade game that came over under another name (the name alludes me atm) where you had to punch the panels as they popped up as fast as you could. It was incredibly fun.

The only arcade game of FOTNS I remember was something similar to Street Fighter, but with fatality moves. Little fuzzy on the gambling-type arcade games :\

I came. Buckets.
 
@HeeroYuy: @Jhentoh: there was an NES game as well as "Last Battle" on the Genesis (lol).

Are you sure? The graphics were primitive, even for an 8-bit console, if it was on the NES.

This looks good, but I hope that they will improve the A.I and make some more gore when an enemy explodes :D

Pretty pumped for this, i actually don't know a whole lot about HNK, other than that Kenshiro is a complete badass.

I remember that game. It was such an obscure addition to my local arcade with its 3 DDR Machines, Crusin' driving games, and it.
 
Game looks alright, though I wish they didn't just "magic explode" and disappear from this world. Makes it more "video gamey" which I guess is alright in context, but you know.

Not going to lie, looks pretty boring.
