Honestly, I agree with both of you. Fist of the North Star is not a particularly obscure title as far as mid-80s Japanese media goes - but its certainly niche.

As a game about a licensed property this video would have benefited from a minute or two of explanation about the context. It's not a major ask and it removes potential barrier for entry to the viewer.

For my part - this thing is based on an 80s re-imagining of Mad Max, there have been manga, anime and games based on the series but like Mad Max theres no significant narrative which would mean you need to be familiar with them.

The best Fist of the North Star game is Double Dragon 2.

Don't forget a spoon of Chrono Trigger, and a dash of Megaman.

Ah yes, the Raccoon. A famously European animal.

Having seen a bit more this game recently it's a bit of shame they didn't making past this final boss fight.

This is the gate for the first big scenery change, meaning new music and sprite palette. It's at least some variety.

You guys, maybe we don't need 'Platform Fighters'? Maybe any.

I'm going to have to find a time to watch this, but I wanted to comment that I'm stoked these are coming out at a regular pace again. Looking forward to it.

Much like modern day Writers/Movie Directors Shakespeare was wealthy but not rich enough to qualify as Upper Class or Nobility of the type which would commission plays.

To put it another way, he was rich enough to buy the house which was built for a former Major of London. But it was still made of wood and thatch.

I definitely remember having a good time watching at least one of the Deadliest Warriors Quick looks.

This was the highlight for Legends.
