PS2 Hokuto no Ken Shinban no Sōsōsei: Kengō Retsuden

Developed by Arc System Works (who created the Guilty Gear series) and produced by SEGA, the arcade version of this one on one fighter was released in 2005 in Japan. A Playstation 2 port was released in 2007, but only in Japan, and given the new title of Hokuto no Ken Shinpan no Sōsōsei: Kengō Retsuden (Fist of the North Star The Twin Blue Stars of Judgment: History of the Fist Masters).

The game had a mixed reception, some love it (especially fans of the series) for being so fast paced, the inclusion of so many special moves from the anime/manga, the fatal K.O. system, a great sound track and good art. Others hate it, with a lack of characters to choose from, many infinite combos, poorly balanced cast, lack of extras in the console port and more. Even so, the game was extremely popular in Japan and was used in many tournaments, including Super Battle Opera 2006 & 2008.
