It really is a shame that they'll (most likely) never port over the Fist Of The Northstar arcade fighter here in the states. It's too good!
Yes, I typed retardedly. :)

Fist of the North Star comes to DS; lots of stuff to punch
Hearing Fist of The North Star is coming to DS will put a broad smile on a good otaku's face, but the rest of us unenlightened bastards will have no idea what all the fuss is about. Hokuto no Ken: Hokuto Kami-ken Denshousha no Michi (roughly translates as Fist of the North Star: The Way of the Storyteller of the Northern God or Boy This Title is Long) is the first faithful translation of a manga to the DS -- literally. In game, you control Kenshiro, who will fight by tapping highlighted points on the screen with the DS stylus to further the story and fight. It's awfully pretty, but will it be interesting to play or the portable equivalent of reading a book? Only time will tell, but the concept seems really cool. You know how I feel about creative DS games....the more, the merrier. [Via DS Fanboy - Thanks to Adam Dork] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I love this idea. But, in order for it to work right, I think it should be the same price as manga and have the same number of pages. Otherwise, I'll keep using paper as my reading material of choice. if this style of Manga takes off in Japan you bet your ass we'll see more and more of it here state side OMFG YES YES YES YES!!!! Colette you're too awesome for posting this. I seriously wasn't expecting this at all!
It really is a shame that they'll (most likely) never port over the Fist Of The Northstar arcade fighter here in the states. It's too good! Please tell me I can punch the Big Dipper in bloody holes in a guy's chest with the stylus. Or other constellations. Or even, Hi Mom! @Mozgus: That's exactly how I am. I mean I work for an anime company, but I'm most definitely not an anime fan. Though I will never turn down Fist Of The Northstar, I mean it practically grew up with me. The newer movies are pretty insane too, I mean in terms of artwork and animation. But you still can't beat the original. So much gore! It's retardedly pleasing.
Yes, I typed retardedly. :) HAHA! If I get a chance to play this I'll totally scream "Fu WHA WHA WHA WHA YA TA TATATATATATA TAAAAA!!!!" while playing. WOOT! nothing more manly than bare chested men killing each other while screaming the names of their signature moves during still frames Sounds a bit like the MGS: Digital Graphic Novel series only with touch. Will be sweet to do ATATATATATATATATATA with the stylus then watching your opponents explode :-) Oh yeeeeeesss. Now I can be Fist Of The North Star. I thought the television series was as hilarious as it was gripping.
