Fist of the North Star Game Coming to PS3 This Summer
Tecmo Koei Europe and NSP have today announced that they will be releasing cult classic Fist of the North Star on the PS3 in Europe this summer. The game pays homage to the old side-scrolling beat-‘em-ups of the past, but brings the genre right up to date with ground-breaking physics, combat, and gore, inspired by the cult comic. The game is set in a ravaged, post-apocalyptic Earth. What few survivors there are left live in small communities, trying to keep themselves safe from the vicious gangs who prowl the wastelands. The sole protector of the innocent civilians and the downtrodden in general is a mysterious martial artist called Kenshiro, who bears seven scars on his chest and is the chosen practitioner of the legendary assassin’s art of Hokuto Shinken.
Players can look forward to exploring destructible and interactive environments as they play the part of Kenshiro, facing down dozens of enemies at once, and stringing combos together to unleash killing moves and special attacks. As they progress through the game they’ll unlock secret moves and hidden characters taken straight from the Fist of the North Star Universe, including Mamiya and Rei. Every playable character has had their story faithfully reproduced from the source material, and every character will have a new original story and ending especially created for the game. Fans can rest assured that the FNS visual style has been faithfully reproduced in the same style as the original comic series.
Note that the final game name has yet to be confirmed.
