More 2D Pummeling, Fist Of The North Star Heads To The PSP

Without any direct input from Arc System Works Interchannel is developing a Fist of the North Star fighting game for the PSP. Hokuto no Ken: Raoh Gaiden Ten no Haoh (Fist of the North Star: Raoh Story Conquering King of Heavens) is scheduled to come out this winter no doubt to capitalize on the upcoming anime series of the same name. The combat system looks archetypical down to the growing fighting sprit gauge used for lethal secret techniques. I wish Interchannel would tell us more about what separates this Fist of the North Star game from others aside from the breakable stages and ad hoc play. Confirmed characters include Raoh, Thouzer, Uighur, Jagi, and Reina.
