Fist of the North Star brawler heads to PSP photo

Arc System Works Interchannel is developing a Fist of the North Star fighting game for the PSP. Of course, this is just the next title in the massive heap of Fist of the North Star games, all based on the badass manga and anime.

This new PSP game, called Hokuto no Ken: Raoh Gaiden Ten no Haoh, is based on the new anime of the same name, which is set to debut in Japan on October 2nd. You won't be surprised to find out that this one is a cell-shaded brawler with wireless ad hoc support. Players will also be able to put their fists into destructible environments, says Famitsu.

Siliconera says that confirmed characters include Raoh, Thouzer, Uighur, Jagi, and Reina. The title is currently set for a winter release in Japan. I'm currently set to watch the anime debut in two days.

I'll play it only if I can punch someone and watch them explode from inside

Man, those character names aren't pretty in any language.

Can the PSP handle the sheer amount of MUSCLE in this game? Even that guy's kneecaps are ripped.

God damn, this is music to my ears.

ARC SYSTEMS, I LOVE YOU. Now get the arcade 2D version onto PSP too, please.

Looks like I'll be importing this in a few days, sweet.

I dunno, I don't see a single drop of blood... having watched more Fist of the North Star episodes than I can count, this confuses me. Especially with the new movies being made, which from what I hear, aren't tame either.

Looks pretty decent although I still haven't played that PS2 one by Sammy. Pretty much Fist of the Guilty Star.

Anyone seen those new movies they brought out?

Not since the NES and GB have we seen a Fist of the North Star game hit the USA.

This...
