We're willing to work with a blurry magazine scan to get a few more screens of the Fist of the North Star interactive manga game. Some of the screens are identical to those we saw before, but new ones appear as well. Since this uses (obviously) manga graphics and screen-tapping mechanics, it reminds us a bit of a non-musical take on Ouendan, which relied on manga-style scenes on the top screen to tell the story. Therefore, in our heads, manga + touching on-screen icons = fun. And then this Fist of the North Star thing swaps out music and ridiculous situations for over-the-top violence.We can also just make out the January 31st release date and the 6040 yen price. ($53-- ouch) Check out the full scan after the break!
We don't know if it'll be fun, and we don't really know if it'll have any replay value, but damned if this Fist of the North Star game isn't pretty. Seems to us that the right way to do a tie-in game for a manga is to use manga in the game rather than making some ugly 3D models of all the characters.
