Hokuto No Ken / Fist of the North Star (PS2)

[Goufunaki]

Apparently, it's made by the same guys who did Guilty Gear.

I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it!



Even the announcer guy is going nuts for it!

Looks ****ing awesome.

I'm just smiling at how hilariously enthusiastic the announcer is!

Get them in the corner there is no escape!

I'm not a fan of 2d fighters, dunno why, it just irks me when a punch has 3 frames of animation to make it more fast paced action. Stupid I know but meh.

Now I'll HAVE to buy a Swap Disc for my PS2 now.

This is never hitting the states.

Hokuto No Ken is my favorite Martial Arts anime. <3

Yeah, I used to watch it. It was either on TV or on my computer. It was a long time ago, so I dont really remember wich.

Fist of the North Star is what started the whole hundreds of punches at once thing, with animated hands flashing all over the place.

It would be great if we were to get it over here. But that would be unlikely.

We never seem to get all the cool fighting games from Japan.

I saw this the other day when I had to go buy the gear to play Captain Tsubasa for the PS2.

It looks pretty good.

Remember what happens to the guy on the receiving end of those punches a few minutes later.

......THEY EXPLODE!

GGGAAAAAH TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA!

Re: Hokuto No Ken / Fist of the North Star (PS2)

Ken could just tap a guy on the shoulder, tell him whatever he wanted to happen to them, and it'd happen(a common occurance in the anime). That's how awesome he is.

I hope it does come to the states. The new FotNS anime was awesome, and I wish it had more to it, can't get enough of exploding heads I guess.

Re: Hokuto No Ken / Fist of the North Star (PS2)

That announcer is AMAZING.

It looks pretty cool, almost exactly like Guilty Gear. Which I GUESS is reason enough to want it...

Re: Hokuto No Ken / Fist of the North Star (PS2)

I hope they are kind and bring this over to the states. Otherwise I will be very sad. I don't know any good non mod chip methods of playing imports other than buying a jp ps2, but I don't wanna do that.

If the game comes here, I'm sure Sega will publish it. You know I'm gonna get it.

Yep. I remember when Ken fought that blonde-haired guy (forgot his name) in the castle, and he did that move on him. The blonde guy didn't explode, though, but he just keeled over. Awesome power that Ken has, but strangely, it doesn't work on everyone

Yay, another game with long ass death combos. Where the fight is over in one punch then you just slowly watch someone beat you while being unable to do anything.

That's only if you suck.
