I was not aware that SEGA had the license to Fist of the North Star, but it seems they do and for their first (Actually they released some PS2 games and also a 2D fighter last generation) title with the license they want to do a port of Sammy’s First of the North Star slot machine. SEGA is getting ready to release “Fist of the North Star Pachislot” in Japan May 31st.
The game will feature a production mode and let you see in-game art and watch Kenshiro punch the screen if you are into that. I’m a Fist of the North Star fan and this seems like a rip off compared to the game that Koei released.
Ad:
@George: What fist of the north star game r u talking about, I don’t remember namco bandai publishing or developing a fist of the north star game however koei did for Xbox 360 and ps3 similar to the warriors games
Oh and PS yes this slot machine game does look like a rip off
YEP! Edited.
“for their first title with the license” mmm there already at least 2 Hokuto pachislot on PS2.
Sega has released it on all platforms in Japan. At least 2 versions each. It is also one of the 3 or 4 million sellers Sega has sold on history. But the license comes from Sammy, before the fusion…
I dont expect it to sell 1 million again. I doubt Sega can repeat it.
