Hokuto no Ken -PS2 release. What's it called?

[rbudrick]

I heard that a recent Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) game came out for PS2 in Japan. Apparently, it has remakes of Black Belt and Last Battle on it. Does anyone know what the name of this game is? Even better if you can tell me someplace that has it in stock. By the way, this is not the Sega Ages game I'm talking about.

By the way, what game the the Ages game supposed to be a remake of?

The one with Black Belt (Hokuto No Ken 1) and Last Battle (Hokuto No Ken 2) is in fact apart of the "Sega Ages" collection discs. In Japan a bit more than what was released here got released. The only *new* HNK game to come out on PS2 in Japan is the Atomiswave VS. Fighting game ported over done by Arc Systems and released by SEGA. Still trying to track that game down (NIB) myself. Good luck. From what I understand it's a damn nice fighter.

Hokuto no Ken Sinpan no Sousousei Kengo Retsuden :)

This is the latest Hokuto no Ken game for PS2, but i dunno if it has any remakes on it. I only tried the game for 10-15 min. or so. Its a cool fighting game.

EDIT: Play-Asia has the game:

The Fist of the North Star Judgement, made by Arc System works, only has a history disc showing the games. You cannot play them. And yes, I think it is the top 2d fighter I've ever played.

This is the greatest game trailer ever. I don't understand a word the announcer is saying but his over the top screaming makes me want to buy this game!

Well, I have the AGES release and the Last Battle game is not on there...it's just kind of a sub-par fighting game. If last battle is on there, I could not access it and didn't even see the option for it. Black Belt, however, is on there and when I go to access it, the whole system freezes. I don't know why. I imagine it's because my system is mod chipped, but I would like to hear peoples' opinions on this.

I made this thread because I was reading in a Spring EGM issue that the new PS2 release had Last Battle and Black Belt and some other things on it. So no one can confirm if the blurb in this issue was correct for Sinpan no Sousousei Kengo Retsuden?

Is Judgement a different game than the Ages and Sinpan games? Now I'm all confused. :D
Thanks!

? It's not hard to find at all. As one user already mentioned, Play-Asia has it, and if overseas merchants aren't your bag, NCS (based in New York) sells it as well: http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/SLPM-66660.html

It's a pretty good game. :)
