I kinda worded it badly lol. It's about FotNS but gameplay wise it's very Yakuza like.

It's a Fist of the North Star game by the Yakuza developers and with a system inspired by the Yakuza series and the story rewritten to fit that format. The Japanese title of this game is "Hokuto ga Gotoku", while the Yakuza series is called "Ryu ga Gotoku".
That's kind of his thing. That and making people explode and flexing and shredding his leather jacket.

I ask myself the same thing. I bought almost the entire Japanese run back in the early 2000s and dont regret it. Took some help from a friend to conplete the set.

I thought the same when I first saw him 20+ years ago. I never found out why. He makes them alot, tho.
So this game is called " Like the North Star" in Japanese.
Yakuza is called "Like a Dragon" in Japanese.
OH.
MY.
GOD.
*head explodes*
I mean...ever since I played the first Yakuza, I had an idea that these guys could probably do a HNK game justice. Yakuza pretty much was a video game adaptation of Souten no Ken, just with Yakuza instead of Triads. But then it seemed like Sega didn't have the license anymore after the fighting game had its run, and we got rather ho-hum Musou game and its mediocre sequel in the meantime...!
I NEED THIS NOW.

I did not know I wanted a Fist of the North Star Yakuza style game. I sort of enjoyed the two musou games before but this looks way better. Plus Kiryu's voice actor as Kenshiro is perfection.

Question for FOTNS fans:
I've seen the original OVA and loved it. Haven't watched the original series (I've read it's bad, though that may just be from a technical perspective). I looked up the manga and it seems only like half of it has been translated? What's recommended to get more into the series

The series isnt bad in a sense beyond it's mediocre toei animation. It's super campy (Id argue the manga is as well)
Watch the show, if you dont like it, watch the movie.
He actually retired from the role a long time ago. That's why he never reprised it and we had a whole bunch of other actors taking over the role.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Essentially it's a what-if story. Since it doesn't follow the manga makes me wonder how Rei ended up here.
wasn't he already having vocal chord problems? Hope he recovers

FotN is pretty dated in general but it basically invented the modern shounen story in a lot of ways but it can also get very repetitive. The anime series would be the way to go, Uncle Phil even voiced one of the villains in the dub but I can't remember if the whole thing was brought over and dubbed.

Fist of the North Star was an anime? I thought it was a movie.

Alright, I'll have to check out the series at some point
I just remember when I first looked into FOTNS I read that the OVA was an apology for the animation/lack of violence in the anime series so I steered clear. I think I was missing a decent amount of context for the OVA but I still really enjoyed it

I can't help but think of Kiryu when I hear his VA. Feels weird.

I wanna say that there is one developer that fits the bill even more so than Capcom but they get mentioned so often on wishlists like these that mentioning them sounds like a joke...

Tatatatatatatatwataa! Hokuto hyakuretsuken!
You're already dead.
As someone who read the whole manga... fucking hyped.
Should be much better than the two musou games.

What do mean 'how did rei' end up here?
He is looking for the man with the 7 scars on his chest silly

Just warning. At least in my opinion first arc of the anime is by far the worst one. It gets better after that.
That's completely ignoring part 2...
Dont listen to these negative nancies, watch it as a campy action show, a d understand the time period it was in. It's a lot of fun.
manga is also great, every frame is a fucking metal album cover
