Things have been quiet concerning Koei Tecmo's Fist of the North Star Musou lately, but fortunately this gross oversight has been rectified thanks to the latest Famitsu. The Japanese magazine has pictures and profiles of the first playable characters that you can tackle in this Manga-meets-Dynasty Warriors mash up.
Kenshiro, Raoh, Toki, Mamiya and Rei have all been revealed, and you can check them out in the attached scan. This should be a really hot game, and hopefully we'll see more, including a Western release date, very soon. Can't wait!
[Thanks, Andreas!]

Not that I'm complaining, mind you, because it's such a fine ass, but she should at least have underwear on.
Why complain about buttocks when you can play as "Jesus"?Besides,people are here for exploding people,sliced up people and so on and so forth.
If this game can be at least a quarter of what GodHand is,I'm getting this A.S.A.P..
So my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Am I a bad person for noticing that first?
Rhetorical... I already know I'm a bad person.
/so pumped
I should just knuckle down and buy it, I've had it since September and Gamefly still hasn't sent me any nasty-grams.
Character models are beautiful, by the way. Extremely, absurdingly beautiful. As in, leather-ripping pecs beautiful.
Can't wait for it.
It's already ordered. :)
But seriously, this looks so damn awesome. I can't wait.
Anyways, I've never even watched Fist of the North Star and I want this game. I just love the character designs and the memes that go along with it.
You're already bought.
I've been hell-bent on getting my last achievement for that game, completing all the missions, and it has been taking forever. I've also turned 3/4 of the characters into newtypes. I'm clearly a sucker for anything Gundam-related.
