Fist of the North Star[lower-alpha 1] is a 2D competitive fighting game produced by Sega and developed by Arc System Works,[2][3] based on the manga series of the same name. It was originally released in 2005 as a coin-operated arcade game for the Atomiswave hardware. A PlayStation 2 port, retitled Hokuto no Ken: Shinpan no Sōsōsei Kengō Retsuden (北斗の拳 ~審判の双蒼星 拳豪列伝~, roughly translated as Fist of the North Star: The Twin Blue Stars of Judgment - History of the Fist Masters), was released exclusively in Japan in March 2007. This version features a bonus DVD including an exclusive training mode ("Starter's Guide") and a documentary covering history of previous Hokuto no Ken titles for home consoles. The arcade version was officially distributed by Sega in North America,[1] while the PS2 port was released only in Japan. In 2020, a homebrew conversion was released for the Dreamcast.[4][5][6]
