Well, that's on NISA. Gust will not and does not care about the American release. They have no way to provide it to the Western audience.

The post-apocalyptic martial arts manga Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) is coming to the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 as Hokuto Musou.

The manga debuted in 1983 and went on to spin off two animated series and motion pictures. Check out the Japanese opening.

Details are still scant, but early (and blurry) scans characters Kenshiro, Rei, Raoh and Yuria. The game is scheduled for release sometime next year from the folks at Tecmo Koei.

ATATATATATAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Hot damn, I always loved Koei's brainless button masher, and this is like nerdgasm x 10 hahaha!

Bring it baby! This game is gonna be an epic road down memory lane if done right.

Ar Tonelico 3 scans.. damn it looks good! 3D Ar Tonelico!

You wa Shock!

Hell no the first anime was Astro boy in 1963 followed by hundreds and hundreds of anime before Fist of the north star was even created.

Can someone remember to me what was the third game with Ar Tonelico 3 and Grandia 4 please ?

OK IT HAS TO BE A JOKE MORE AND MORE JRPGS COMING TO THE PS3 FROM NOWHERE
I CAN 'T EVEN COUNT THEM NOW

If you look at the original DQX announcement topic, a lot members heavely suggest that those kind of games would eventually be announced for the Wii, and the funny thing is that 90% of the time it is the PS3 who get's them exclusively.

Now where is Grandia 4 and Legend of Dragoon 2? One part of the rumor was true : Ar Tonelico 3.

I love how they announce games in Japan. Ar Tonelico 3 gets announced today, it's 80% done with a release date 4 months away. In NA, they announce a game and your waiting for yrs to play it!
