Koei Tecmo has announced a new mobile RPG based upon the uber-violent anime/manga seriesFist of the North Star. Shin Hokuto Musou Mobilewill launch in Japan later this year on iOS and Android platforms.
Some attractive splash art for the new mobile title featuresHokuto no Kenseries protagonist Kenshiro flanked by allies Rei and Mamiya, the latter of whom has forgotten her pants it seems. The trio stand in the shadow of Kenshiro’s dictatorial brother, Raoh. You smell it? That’s the smell of death.

There is no word as to whether this title will be localised for the west, leavingHokuto no Kenfans still playingFist of the North Star: Lost Paradisefor all their head-popping, rapid-punching needs.
