Shuu and Souther look like some serious mofo’s . Can’t wait to play as these guys in Versus mode against my brother.

Because Toki died for your sins.

But really, like TFO said Toki was always the gentler of the brothers and after becoming terminally ill he decided to dedicate the rest of his life healing people.

Toki died for your sins. Too funny!

Sorry dude but I watched the entire tv series dvd boxset TWICE and can confirm he made that decision before he got terminally ill. :smokin:

[Mr.Mamation]

nice with euro release. If there is no NA release, I can import it from Europe.

yay.

Can you do that with 360 games or is that only ps3? Without moding the xbox that is.

I am really looking forward to this game. Not really big into the DW series but my love for HnK knows no bounds. Rie and Toki look like a lot of fun to play. Wish everyone had their outfits from the manga though.

Only PS3, usually. With the Xbox, the publisher has to allow the game to be region-free, while all PS3 games can be played on any region console.

Oh shit…[media=youtube]Q4PKyd4TEHQ"[/media]!!!
I must GET this game!

I can only hope then

[Spirit_Juice]

I want this game to be good with all my heart, I really do… but… let’s be honest here: when was the last time Koei made an actual GOOD game?

They do have everybody’s original outfits you can select which ones you want to wear. Regenerating shirts are included.

[pimp_bishop_donjon]

hahahaha

HNK games are usually terrible to mediocre to begin with. I think at the worst the game will be mediocre. Just checking out for the novelty of it. Remember Last Battle on genesis? That actually was somewhat enjoyable.

But really, like TFO said Toki was always the gentler of the brothers and after becoming terminally ill he decided to dedicate the rest of his life healing people.

It isn’t explicitly implied but Ken and Roah allude to the fact that Toki was superior to both of them in ability but lacked the killer instinct to become a successor.

P.S. Even when Toki kills people they don’t feel pain…so yea. :wtf:

I’m probably adding to what may not be intended but I think the 4 brothers were supposed to balance out a set of extremes. Roah wasn’t evil by nature, just neutral to point he was capable of evil actions. Ken was neutral good, he did what he had to because he felt what was good had to be done but he would have been content with not making things better if not needed. Toki was the most powerful and extreme good of the group to balance the extreme that was Jagi who was the complete opposite of good and the weakest. Jagi is the most important out of the group though because without him the clash between the 2 schools would not have happened other than Raoh and Souther would have eventually faced each other.

True Jagi did start the war. Yet knowing Raoh and his quest for power he would have eventually butted heads with Juda,Shuu, Rei, and the Nanto Goshasei. 2 Schools would have went to war regardless Raoh’s actions would get Kenshiro and Yuria involved due to proximity .Shin probably would have fought alongside of Kenshiro since they still would have been best friends. Jagi would eventually get killed either by Rei,or Kenshiro depends on who he wronged first.Rei would eventually meet Kenshiro somehow.

nah man, HnK the fighting game is the best fighter ever made

[rehab]

I will totally get this

but srsly stop making these for half a second and make another gitaroo man game

Sorry if this response has already effectively been made, but normally they couldn’t if they tried, Koei published GM while iNiS developed it, and since the last arguably awesome EBA/Ouendan game in 2007 they’ve exclusively focused on churning out at least one of these a year
