I feel I should watch the OVA's of Fist of the North Star as I watched the original old ass anime TV series and all he wore was jeans and a blue tshirt.

Also still weirdly tempted to check this out when cheap cause hell, it's Fist of the North Star.

The original Fist of the North Star Quick Look is one of my favorites. This one, unfortunately, doesn't quite live up to that.

Nah I was thinking something closer to Asura's Wrath but maybe with more actual, uh gameplay lol. Surely something like One Piece or if old school gorey 90s anime is the goal ,The Guyver would work very well with the character action genre.

I wonder if everyone at Koei are husks. Lifeless people forever doomed to making the same repetitive games. A faith given to the worst of criminals.

Speaking as someone who played Luigi's Mansion recently I can say definitively, Luigi's Mansion is still a super rad game.

Lately I've been thinking about what Cyberconnect could do with something like Attack on Titan. My brain broke when I considered the possibilities.

Hilariously enough, this actually looks better than the original. Too bad I won't be buying it!

I would, however, be genuinely interested in this.

Is there anything Dynasty Warriors game play doesn't ruin? It's already dead. I'm holding out for a Saint Seiya game done in the style of Anarchy Reigns. Still got my fingers crossed for JoJo All-Stars gets a US release.

Absolute truth!

Dunno, FOTNS is such a videogameable series (it's literally centered around PUNCHING!), why all of it's games must be thrash?

The one piece games on the Wii are suprisingly great. You don't really get the whole massive battles thing from the show but it's a solide RPG brawler with crafting and character progression. It has awesome open world/zelda elements too. Seriously, those games are half the reason I didn't regret owning a Wii.

Too bad they threw that all away and turned it into dynasty warriors when making a new one for the PS3

Definitely looks faster than the first one. As far as I know, besides more story and characters (and online), the other pulls for this game are the faster gameplay and ability to dodge. Dunno if they added more moves and techniques but the early stuff is all the same.

Kind of a bummer, but I got my full with Ken's Rage 1 anyways.

Have you seen the trailer of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure game by them? That stuff looks insane, can't wait for that and the new Naruto Ninjastorm game.

Really would like to know just how successful this & the dynasty warrior series is because it always confuses me on who keeps buying the damn things. Are they even getting a profit on these two identical 1 button mashing games?

These games are all about the dumb fun. Great to play after a lousy day, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find and buy the games.
