Meh. What a waste of their talents.

 

[Zetta]

This is something I did not expect, fantastic news. All I need now is a Yu Yu Hakusho fighter and this will become my favorite gen.

I was wondering how they'd fit the Yakuza city into the setting.

I love it.

 

[Vampirolol]

What? Wait WHAT? This is the best thing ever!

 

[Shifty]

Meh. What a waste of their talents.

[Piccoro]

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

Sega has released lots of HnK games.

 

[papertoonz]

YOU GUYS IT JUST HIT ME
IT WILL HAVE A KARAOKE
AND YOU WILL SING THE ORIGINAL GAME'S INTROS AND OUTROS

Also Toki will be voiced by

KOICHI YAMADERA

oh man they better get them licenses

 

[Anung]

Yooooooooooo

Day Zero I'm already dead edition.

 

[Brazil]

.

Yeah, yeah, tired memes and this IP go hand in hand, we know.

 

[silva1991]

I only watched the movie once iirc. Maybe I should watched it again.

Does it have anime series?

 

[Snaku]

Another Fist of the North Star game? Jesus Christ can I just get one Guyver game?

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

John Cena will be happy

 

[crookedaxis]

Yeah, yeah, tired memes and this IP go hand in hand, we know.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Holy crap, this looks great

 

[HStallion]

Meh. What a waste of their talents.

This is a match made in heaven so it's hardly a waste and its not like they aren't pumping out quality games.

 

[DJwest]

I WA SHOCK

Amazing.

 

[Temascos]

I've never seen Fist Of The North Star but I am down for this game, it looks like fun to play. Chance for the Yakuza team to flex their muscles.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Fist Of The Blue Sky would have been a better choice.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I never knew I wanted this until just now!

Although, as much as I love Kiryu's voice, it will be fucking weird to hear Kenshiro not voiced by Akira Kamiya.

 

[Breads]

Fist Of The Blue Sky would have been a better choice.

I don't personally know anyone who would have cared though.

 

[Bob Coffee]

I WA SHOCK. the Hnk game i never knew i wanted, but i do very much. kiriya va voicing ken will be werid. but i think it'll work out.

 

[Tizoc]

The return of Kung Fu Jesus, praise be!

[Marker007]

This makes me want a JoJo game from them. Can you imagine?

 

[Thud]

I only watched the movie once iirc. Maybe I should watched it again.

Does it have anime series?

Yep, from the 80's.

 

[dan2026]

This makes me want a JoJo game from them. Can you imagine?

As someone already said, jojo doesn't really have random goons to beat up.
It can't really be transferred onto Yakuza in the same way Fist of the North Star can.

 

[Frozenprince]

Gonna atatatatatatata fools for days

 

[Shifty]

This makes me want a JoJo game from them. Can you imagine?

I want to see them tackle Jonathan's arc. You just know they'd nail the shit out of those first few romance melodrama episodes.

 

[Shadowman16]

Didn't realise they would be adding a Yakuza styled city and playspots into this game, I expected it to be a more linear action game. Now I'm somehow even more hyped, I love the Yakuza series so much, and this seems to be like the perfect combo of license and gameplay. Depending on the English release I can definitely see me importing this one rather than wait. I wonder what playspots we'll get in the game (can I get a super extreme version of Mahjong please?)

 

[Frozenprince]

Just imagining the Yakuza team setting up the Raoh fight is getting me hype as fuck considering how they nail the climactic duel in all their games.

 

[sn00zer]

They already announced a new Yakuza game that is going to replace Kiryu.

Ah bummer....well at least they finished up Kiryu's story

 

[Hag]

Toki vs Raoh is prolly gonna be the best fight in this gen

 

[Quintin DM]

I am all about this. Holy sight this looks good!

 

[Tizoc]

This just in: Ba(r)t will be replaced by

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

best morning ever

 

[convo]

Meh. What a waste of their talents.

Nintendo should ask this team to make a sequel to F-Zero GX to get even less people excited.

 

[Lynx_7]

Welp time to finish the manga before this arrives.

 

[Hours Left]

This is amazing.

 

[Star Falcon]

Awesome, another game to look forward to next year

 

[OmegaDL50]

This is why I want the RnG team to be handed the Streets of Rage series. They would do it justice.

They have created an excellent combat system using the engine established with the Yakuza titles and that work shows as well with this new Fist of the North Star game.

They could make Streets of Rage 5 with the RnG / Dragon engine and it would be marvelous.

 

[convo]

Meh. What a waste of their talents.

I nearly forgot that there are more.
Boy if you want to see some dumb crossovers by Sega then look no further than this virtual on crossover with more anime

[The Last Wizard]

If Rei and Raoh is playable I’m so in.

 

[YaGaMi]

Shit just got real.

Agreed. I'd buy the crap outta that. Chuck the first 3 games as playable in the arcade and I'd be all sorted!

 

[silva1991]

Yep, from the 80's.

Add to the list. I hope it's good.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

omggggggg!!

 

[Frozenprince]

Add to the list. I hope it's good.

It's literally the template almost all modern shounen series follow. It's trope heavy as fuck but it also created most of those tropes.

 

[SleepingDragon]

Damn thats pretty cool.
I wish they made a Gintama game though. It would be a perfect fit for a Yakuza game.

 

[Galang]

Hope this becomes a trend. Maybe we can stop getting horrible musou games and studios will hand other IP over to this team instead. Great idea and looks awesome
