The Next Fist of the North Star/Hokuto no Ken thread

I am getting a Japanese PS2 and plan on getting Hokuto No Ken very soon. They are re-releasing the anime as box sets soon, so hopefully I can get caught up with all the characters.

Yeah it’s been a while, I need to take some time to upload those matches … :sweat:

most of the shit the thread has missed since its last update starts here http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5066&page=18
argh. i messed up the copy and paste. one second. trying to edit

I’m really glad people still play this. I wish the us woulda picked this up

Yeah I really think I should get this game as well.

You mean the crappy American comic? :rofl:

No, seriously, I love that comic and its glorious laser-printer quality. And honestly art quality aside, it was cheesy but it wasn’t too bad, just the right kind of intentionally-cheesy 80s action fare. Same goes for the anime, definitely in “so bad it’s good” territory. M.D. Geist for LIFE. I salute you, sir, for having excellent taste in silly Japanese cartoons.

On topic, I need to play that game again sometime. Used to flail around with Raoh but I don’t trust myself to consistently land sai loops. I should probably look into Yuda or Shin, they seem a bit more straightforward.

CAN WE PLEASE BRING THIS GAME BACK TO THE STATES

If MB can make it at majors this game is clearly the next step come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

^ random

anyways, ill brush up on my juda and we can play sometime if you’re still in philly

Was there ever a complete wiki (jp/eng) for this game?

not that im aware of

Side tournaments bro.
I was looking for HnK players at R2E and i came up dry.

With Hokuto Musou on the way out here, the time is ripe. HNK ON XBLA. BLAZBLUE NETCODE. DO IT ARCSY/AKSYS!

…and PSN D=<!

even when i would love to see it on XBLA and PSN and belive me i would LOVE IT!, its kinda impossible since the holder of the license and the one that has the final word on the game is SEGA
i remember that arcsys have ideas for the next installment/patch and how to prevent the problems that poped on the arcade version but sega told them to dont bother, and considering that sega isnt promoting the game anymore on SBO i dont know if we would see this awesome game on a re-release

I totally forgot that Sega published this game…

…I hate Sega. I hate Sega with every fiber of my being, and this just cements it.

i think the best part is the ratings and complaints people are going to give if this game ever makes stateside

i can see it now…

people bitching about the fatal ko’s, infinites, kill combos, etc.
yeah i see the scrubs bitching too

Love this game, an updated version would be AMAZING!

ASW wanted to make an updated version, but sega said no, aparently they dont want to make another 2d game from what i heard, wich sucks

just think on the roster

Hokuto Shinken
Kenshiro
Toki
Raoh

Nanto Roku Seiken
Shin
Rei
Yuda
Shuu
Touther

Gento Ko Ken
Falco
Soria

Nanto Goshasei
Jyuza
Fudoh

Hokuto Gemmy
