Taking Hokuto no Ken and injecting the Yakuza gameplay concepts into it is sheer genius.

At its core Yakuza is really a beatemup, so framing it as a Fist of the North Star beatemup fits.

Can't wait for it

 

[Majmun]

Why is his face so tiny

 

[Neff]

holy shit megaton

 

[Boss Doggie]

Where's ma Raoh

 

[Seiryoden]

Just perfect. Can't wait for this. If there's one studio I'd trust with FotNS it's the Yakuza team.

 

[Chobel]

Finally, a spiritual successor to God Hand.

 

[Aki-at]

If this is successful I could see RGG Studio go grab a bunch of other anime licenses like JoJo and build it off from there

So excited for this and Kiwami 2, I thought maybe Sega would have a quiet year next year but now we've got 6, Kiwami 2 and Fist of the North Star to look forward too haha.

 

[Tizoc]

Where's ma Raoh

Hey man re-purposing Goda's Kiwami 2 model to look like Raoh takes time.

 

[User123456]

You are already bought.

 

[UrbanRats]

Please be better than that Koei thing.

 

[Tony Redgrave]

Dream come true.

A JoJo's game made by the RGG team?

 

[Arion]

Please be better than that Koei thing.

If it has Yakuza style combat, it's already better.

 

[TheRazielim]

A JoJo's game made by the RGG team?

Haha perfect gif

Can't wait for it

I've played plenty of HnK beat em ups!

I wanna see Kenshiro go on weird side quests and run a bar! Making HnK RPG and explore that world is such a long overdue concept

 

[Offline]

Holy crap I have goosebumps. This looks SO fucking good.

 

[NaviLink]

I love the nod to God Hand, which itself was heavily inspired by Hokuto no Ken. Kind of full circle.

Hopefully this turns out good.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Would be a dream.

 

[Tizoc]

BRING BACK THE LOVE!

How is fist as an anime anyways? Worth a watch?

 

[raven777]

Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru

 

[Sgblues]

Well Kiryu doesn't "kill" people( although most of his heat actions would say otherwise) but Kenshiro sure does!, so combine them and now you have an awesome Fist of the North Star game!

 

[wapplew]

What mini games could fit in this world?

 

[lucebuce12]

Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru

That was the moment my world turned upside down.

And I realized I was finally seeing the world correctly.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Holy fucking shit

Our lives have led up to this, Luce

 

[Tizoc]

Will this game be titled Yakuza Black Belt when it gets localized?

Fist of the Northern Yakuza.

 

[Aostia]

Day ffffff one

 

[Sebastiano]

Holy shit, it looks perfect, what a crazy fuckin' great trailer, it's already a day one for me, announcement of the year with Dragon Ball FighterZ, easily!

 

[thefatness16]

First DBZ now Fist of the North Star. I never knew we'd get such awesome licensed anime games! Now we just need One Piece Project Dawn to deliver.

 

[Sidewinder]

Looks intense, I don't know anything about Fist of the North Star but this looks brilliant!

 

[kewlmyc]

Wow, they're like the perfect developers for this.

 

[delSai]

And after that they'll make a Bobobo game. Makes too much sense. Also Nosehair > North Star

 

[PantsuJo]

This is justice.

 

[StayDead]

Damn this is the perfect fit. The only better fit is Jojos.

Oh my god Kiryuu's VA as Kenshiro is amazing. I'll miss Kiryuu in the Yakuza series, but damn this is a good pick.

 

[Shifty]

"Hokuto ga Gokuto"? Absolutely incredible title. I'm so in for this.

And it's good to see the tonal whiplash I love so much is in there.

 

[spindashing]

HE SHOOK THE FUCK OUT OF THAT MARTINI

 

[gundamkyoukai]

How is fist as an anime anyways? Worth a watch?

It is IMO of course if you can take the old school aspects of it all .

 

[Rorschach]

The grunts look like zombie fodder, but I bet the boss fights are where it's at. :drool

 

[EndcatOmega]

Missed opportunity to call it Ryuu Ga Shock.

 

[speedpop]

This will be the greatest game of all time.

 

[Tizoc]

Real talk though:
Is Rei

Spoiler

gonna die in this? Cuz I don't want him to die. He already died enough in the various adaptations of the series :V
Let the man live his happy life with Mamiya

Also I am calling it now: Raoh will be voiced by

MASAMI IWASAKI

 

[jipewithin]

Potential OT title.

Hokuto ga Gotoku |OT| Ryuu Ga Shock

 

[CSX]

That martini gif....

I was hearing the ATATATATATATATA in my head lol

 

[Playsage]

Finally, a spiritual successor to God Hand.

Can we really talk of spiritual successor when the two games don't remotely resemble each other in game design?
