Tecmo Koei Expects Fist of North Star To Sell A Million Domestically

Kenji Matsubara, Tecmo Koei Holdings honcho, expects big things of recently announced multi-platform title Hokuto Musou. The game is based on post-apocalyptic martial arts manga Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken).

"Only in Japan, the game should sell a million copies," Matsubara told the Nihon Keisai Newspaper. According to the paper, the game is expected to launch worldwide, given the international familiarity with Fist of the North Star.

New Fist of The North Star Screens/Art Already Dead

In March 2010, Tecmo Koei is bringing post-apocalyptic martial arts manga Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) to the PS3 and the Xbox 360 in Japan.

The game has been titled Hokuto Musou, and is part of Koei's popular "Musou" series of games.

Besides new screens, there is new art of characters like hero Kenshiro, tough guy Rei and village leader Mamiya — she's in a thong, something the Japanese internet has been quick to point out. Thank you, Japanese internet!

The manga Fist of the North Star debuted in 1983 and went on to spin off two animated series and motion pictures.
