	[[Hisashi Koinuma]], the game's producer says that the staff aims to create a "new realistic feel" for the ''Fist of the North Star'' series while still being faithful to the original's roots. During this process, he remarked his concerns for the characters' body structure, muscles, and other minute details (such as perfecting the model for Raoh's wrinkled forehead). He notes that the official mode for this title carries more action adventure tones than other ''Warriors'' titles thus far yet gave his assurance that ''Warriors'' fans can easily feel at home in the game's original story mode. He personally spoke his thoughts regarding the game at Yodobashi-Akiba, Biccamera Yurakucho, and Biccamera Ikebukuro on March 22 and March 25.

When the player and their opponent simultaneously perform a strong attack, a select button may appear on the screen within that instant. If players successfully press the correct button within the moment it appears, the Nanto fighter will instantly evade the attack and perform a counter.
