The man with seven wounds…

While taking a break from job hunting I was checking out Insert Credit ( http://www.insertcredit.com/ ) and I came across news of a new ‘Fist of the North Star’ arcade game. ‘Hokuto No Ken’ is without a doubt one of my favorite series ever! It’s too bad we won’t see this one emulated for quite a while. I might have to go pick up a Atomiswave board for a low sum of $395 over at CoinOpExpress ( http://www.coinopexpress.com/ ). Of course the game cart is probably going to be another $500 or so…

There is already a website up over at Sega for the game ( http://hokuto-no-ken.sega.jp/ ) and it seems the game will be out ‘this winter’. It’s a pity the game probably won’t make it into any arcades near me. I’d really like to play it.
