Hokuto no Ken Online

Hokuto no Ken Online (北斗の拳　ONLINE^?) was a 3D MMORPG hosted by online game developer GungHo Online Entertainment. The game was set in the post-apocalyptic world of the Hokuto no Ken franchise as players fight to survive. There are several character classes to choose from, including a Hokuto Shin Ken follower and a Nanto Sei Ken student. Characters from the manga appear in the game as well, allowing players to challenge them. The combat system utilizes a specializes control system that recognizes mouse gestures.

Private beta testing for the game began in 2006 before the public servers were opened on July 24, 2008. An expanded version was launched on March 26, 2009 titled Hokuto no Ken Online Heroes (北斗の拳ONLINE HEROES^?), which added a "Hero System" that allowed randomly chosen players to take control of major characters from the manga. However, due to the lack of popularity, the official servers were shut down on September 30, 2009.
