Because the game was produced at the same time as the ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' anime series entered production, 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 sons 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. While Shoki himself never appears in the game, his death at the hands of Sheeno is acknowledged in the official strategy guide. The game only covers the Tentei story arc, with a bonus stage featuring the [[Nameless Asura]] as a hidden final boss. | Because the game was produced at the same time as the ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' anime series entered production, certain plot details differ from both, the manga and anime.
