How many buckets of manly tears will be shed during the game?
It's kinda sad some of the old VA didn't reprise their role but also understandable given the age of some and dead of others (rip Rei and Raoh va)
God Hands.So it seems the Playspots include embracing your role as Japanese Jesus
By the looks of things they are going all in on the Yakuza VA's anyway, so not sure if they would have used them even if they could. I kinda like the angle they are going for, I love the Yakuza series and this being a Yakuza game with a FOTNS setting and skin is an interesting move. Makes me wonder what other series could work in this format?
And yay for the retro games. Even if they haven't aged well I absolutely love anything like this in games. This is getting imported so fast next year!
At this point i'd be happy about any kind of new Kenshin gameRuroni Kenshin in the vein of Kenzan/Isshin would be hype.
Hyahhaa Rally
You can explore the wasteland outside of Eden by riding a buggy. By collecting various materials, you can customize and upgrade your buggy. By upgrading your buggy, its exploration range will also expand. However, be aware of the dangerous outlaws that have formed factions and may attack. Also, by participating in rally races held in the wasteland, you can get various rewards.
Bartender Ken
A mini-game where Kenshiro becomes a bartender and serves customers. Skillfully serve up alcohol in response to the situation and problems of the various customers that show up at the bar.
Death Batting
A mini-game you can play at an old baseball field in the wasteland. Using an iron pole, hit a home run using the bike-riding scoundrels that come your way as balls. This is the Fist of the North Star version of the batting cages. (JESUS FUCKING CHRIST)
Kenshiro Clinic
Kenshiro wears a white robe and cures people by way of pressure point treatment. This is a rhythm action-style mini-game. Press the buttons with good timing to skillfully treat the patient. However, some of the patients that come to the clinic are scoundrels. In order to keep the peace in Eden, their treatment is necessary.
Black Suit Kenshiro
The Nightclub is a symbol of Edens nightlife and one of its greatest amusement facilities. At this nightclub, Kenshiro will don the black suit. Protect the nightclubs proceeds and public order until the very end. Deal with customers who get drunk and act violently in a way that only Kenshiro can.
Sega Mark III (Sega Master System) Version of Hokuto no Ken
When exploring the wasteland, you can excavate a Game Machine and Game Cabinet, relics of the civilization of the old world. By taking the excavated game back to Eden, you can play it. In Hokuto ga Gotoku, you can play the Sega Mark III version of the 1986-released side-scrolling action game Hokuto no Ken.

Sounds way too ridiculous imo, this is not what HnK is about...
As for the combat I better hear some hidebu when I am killing some scrubs.

Its basically Yakuza with a FotNS skin. And thats amazing.
It should fine in the end because yakuza has a lot of goofy moments in side quests and mini games but the main story is usually serious and violent so should work out.
Did you mean to post this in the Kiwami 2 thread by any chance?It seems like it uses a variation of Y6's combat. In my experience with the demo I hated how it felt compared to the rest of the series, so I'm not super thrilled about it.

Cause this really looks like it's own thing in terms of combat. Way more arcadey than any of the Yakuza games have looked.
Yeah I know, It doesn't bother me in Yakuza since it's a license they created but from the details posted here it sounds really stupid. I grew up with watching HnK in France and they threw an almost made up the translation making everything sound comical, downright ridiculous at times. Watched it in japanese several times later and yeah while it does have funny elements I've never seen Kenshiro bartend...
C'mon, it's like if they took the Berserk license and made Guts breakdance.
The first one.So this is fist of the north star with yakuza mechanics or actually has both sets of characters in it? Still crazy no matter what.
Nobody knows Souten though. This has way more of an impact than that crappy series has.

Artwork is great.Say what you will about the anime, but the manga is easily Hara at his best.
No, I expected Kiwami 2 to use the same combat since it's the same engine, but this caught me by surprise since it's supposed to be using Y5's engine.
Ken looks to be more vertical than Kiryu's ever been, yeah,but the combat seems to have the heavily physics focused feel - couldn't come out with a better description - Y6 had,and it even has that R2 heat transformation thing.
I must say that my experience with Y6's combat was just a one hour demo so I might be very wrong about it. It just that it didn't leave a good first impression and this looks too close to comfort.
So it seems the Playspots include embracing your role as Japanese Jesus and healing the lame and sick
So this is additional to Fist of the North Star? So I get TWO Fist of the North Star games from Yakuza team?
And some new info about the battle system:
