Hokuto no Ken 2 (Famicom): Difference between revisions

The [[wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Family Computer]] version of {{nihongo|'''''Hokuto no Ken 2'''''|北斗の拳2}} is a side-scrolling action game released by Toei Animation on April 17, 1987. The game is based on the Tentei story arc from the manga. Two years after its original Famicom release, an English version for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America was released by Taxan titled '''''Fist of the North Star''''' on April 1989, making it is one of few ''Hokuto no Ken'' console games that was released for the overseas market.

Because the game was produced at the same time as the ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' anime series entered production (ending up being released between the airing of episodes 114 and 115), certain plot details differ from both, the manga and anime. Most notably, the renegade [[Gento Kō Ken]] masters from the anime, [[Taiga]] and [[Boltz]], co-exists as enemy characters alongside [[Jakō]]'s son from the manga, [[Jask]] and [[Sheeno]], while [[Bronza]], a character exclusive to this game, serves as the General of the Red Light in place of [[Shoki]], who filled the same role in the anime. The game only covers the Tentei story arc, with a bonus stage featuring the [[Nameless Asura]] as a hidden final boss.
