Hokuto Musou (Fist of the North Star)

Here's one of the new and upcoming games from Tecmo Koei to be release sometime in Japan 2010 for both Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3. Following the footsteps of Koei's musou series, Tecmo Koei has taken Fist of the North Star which debuted in 80's and transform it into an action beat'em-up. Judging from the screenshots & video, it will have violence and gore that was not presented in the other musou type games from Tecmo Koei.

Now some may argue that Tecmo Koei's musou series of games are mindless bashing of buttons, and the enemies especially the grunts don't give much of a fight, but in all honesty, I enjoy the musou series ever since it's debut on the PS2 starting from Dynasty Warriors 2 (Shinsangoku Musou) .

This is a type of game that you either love it or hate it. For those who love the musou series like I do, check out the images and links below.
