Fuuuuuu looks amazing. Yakuza God Hand.

I wish these HNK games used the 80s designs but I'm in anyway.

This is potentially Mad Max on steroids, hope it's like the game but with more personality which I think Team Yakuza can do.

I love FOTNS so this can be really good.

First DBZ now Fist of the North Star. I never knew we'd get such awesome licensed anime games! Now we just need One Piece Project Dawn to deliver.
YYH should probably be next as it's over due but I think Sailor Moon could get some sort of treatment, like the makers of Hatsune Mika getting a Sailor Moon rhythm game next.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Holy shit! I didn't know I wanted something so badly before. I cannot wait!

As awesome as this is (and believe me it is fucking awesome), a little bit inside me cries that it's not the Yakuza team doing a Berserk game. But then again maybe that would be too dark for them.

I always thought the God Hand devs would be perfect for a FotNS game but this is like the next best thing. Need to see Raoh and Toki in this.

I want this.

How's the anime? I've never seen it.

Also, is the image "you are already dead" from this show?

Yup.
Keep in mind that it is a show of it's time, but nowadays just approach it for 'fun factor'
It has lots of crazy post apocalyptic kung fu and manly men going about doing manly things.
Also the filler in the anime aren't bad since it is more of Kenshiro going around beating and blowing up thugs.

If this is successful I could see RGG Studio go grab a bunch of other anime licenses like JoJo and build it off from there :p

So excited for this and Kiwami 2, I thought maybe Sega would have a quiet year next year but now we've got 6, Kiwami 2 and Fist of the North Star to look forward too haha.

Diamond is Unbreakable by this team would legit be the best thing of all time.

We have come full circle!
SEGA released an HnK game for the Master System back in the 80s/90s.

I can't believe how PERFECT Nagoshi and the RgG team are for making a Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star game X3

The Last Battle was actually one of the very first Genesis games I ended up buying.
 
Actually, the combat looks a bit boring.

The highlights will be the boss battles, but the thugs battles will be a snooze fest.

The combat works in Yakuza games because we don't fight that many enemies at a time. It feels like a musou in this game.

We've barely seen anything of the combat.
