Upcoming ‘Fist of the North Star’ Game Looks INSANE!!!

I never really quite got into the Fist of the North Star series. Something about the character design always bothered me. But these screens from the upcoming game for PS3 and Xbox 360 make me wanna’ read the manga right this freaking instant!

Rather than make a gallery of teensy little thumbnails that you have to click on, I’ve decided to show the pictures in their full glory. You can see them in even fuller glory by doing the right click/view image thing to see the bigger and better versions.

ZOMG!!! Lookit teh blud!

Here’s the teaser trailer that came out a few weeks ago:

And here’s a recording of some gameplay footage that was streamed live, so it’s really laggy and has no audio. Sorry.

I’m pretty sure that we’ll see this in the states at some point, but if not, I’m totally importing this shit out of this. Judging by the looks of all the freakishly large necks and the no-doubt crazy polygon count all the muscles, I think it’s safe to say that there probably won’t be too much plot involved. And if so, it probably doesn’t matter as long as you get to be a burly dude rippin’ other burly dudes apart.

Hotuto Musou (Fist of the North Star to us westerners) is set for a 2010 release in Japan.
