So I just did a bit of research and realised that the Fist of the North Star manga has never been completely released in english. Officially I mean.

The fuck is up with that?
 
Yeah its called the Persona series.

The series is 1. really long and 2. never really took off in America.

So.

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

I wanted to post that. They needed to make an altered story to make Fist of the North Star fit the Yakuza format, but Gintama wouldn't even need that.

It's 27 volumes or 15 deluxe sized ones.
It's big, but when I think of long manga, it doesn't seem that long.
Yeah, but for such a series so old and so niche in the US, it's way too long for companies to devote resources too.

I mean, look at how many people here know nothing about it.
 
Is there any reason to be concerned that this doesn't get released in the West? The last Fist of the North Star game (which was awesome) on Ps2 didn't get make it to the states.

OKay I am now convinced to watch this anime/series whatever.

What should I watch? apparently there are movies and a TV show.

The movies are all different reinterpretation of the series (some are side stories)

Watch the main series

And the watch Hokuto no Ken Ichigo aji for some Souther goodness

The last Fist of the North Star games were okay at best so I'm glad Sega is taking the helm with this one. It looks really polished already.

Is this game called

Like a Dragon/ Fist of the North Star?
Yakuza/Fist of the North Star
Or just
Fist of The North Star?

Is this a yakuza game? With Fist of the North Star characters invading? That teaser trailer is too damn confusing.

It's a Fist of the North Star game but it has some references from the Yakzua series. Remains to be seen how deep the "crossover" goes or if it's just at a visual level only.

It's a Yakuza game based on FotNS. They also released a story trailer.
