Fist of the North Star Musou gets Web site ATATATATATATA photo

Okay, so there's not really a lot to it yet, but if you're eager to suck down more from Koei Tecmo's Fist of the North Star Musou, there's a teaser page up with swooping logos and the promise of a 2010 release date. Your excitement, it knows no bounds!

So far, this game is looking like it could be really good. The brawling gameplay and one-superhuman-versus-a-hundred-dumb-enemies approach to combat certainly won't appeal to some, but those of us who know what to expect should be suitably amused. With Koei clearly putting a lot of effort into getting this right, it could be a winner. It already looks graphically superior to previous Dynasty Warriors games, and it's not even finished yet. That's a very good sign. 

Here's hoping that the post-apocalyptic Manga classic gets a good showing in this new game. It has the potential to make Tecmo Koei a major player if it goes well.

I absolutely agree Jim. Fist of the North Star is a HUGE franchise, maybe not so in the US, but it's extremely popular in Japan and many parts of Europe (I'm from Italy where literally EVERYBODY knows who Kenshiro is, yet only gamers know what Halo or MGS are). Not to mention the Dynasty Warriors style gameplay perfectly fits the series, unlike Gundam *rolleyes*

Here's to hoping they get it right.

I hope they can innovate a bit more than just making him go around making guys explode. Like I want to use moving around tactics to defeat certain enemies and especially the bosses (if they do show) I want to fight Rin, Hyuo, Ralph, Shin and all the main enemies Ken fought in the manga!

Also, a online co-op or versus mode to play online would be sweet as well.

I should very much like to see that whole film uncut.
All I remember is the first 10 minutes when this rock guy falls apart, the rest of that memory is replaced with chun li shower scene.

This looks suitably rediculous and violent, especially from the .gifs I saw on 4chan, since I haven't stumbled upon another video.

You need to be able to unlock different characters and play with them, and they need to actually "feel" different when playing with them. Rei would be the shit, Shin wouldn't be bad either, Raoh would be fun.
