The last news story from me today unless something major comes out, as looking through both the EAB forums and Facebook, we’ve found out that the Sega Mega Drive version of Last Battle: Legend of the Final Hero, is possibly coming to the Commodore Amiga as Fist of the North Star 2. As in the words of the developer who is creating it using the Scorpion Engine “This will be for the Amiga game jam. But street fighter will be first”. To coincide with this news, we’ve got a short video of an early build as well as a wikipedia description about the original.
And here’s the wikipedia info! “Last Battle: Legend of the Final Hero is a side-scrolling martial arts beat ’em up released for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1989 by Sega. It was one of the six games that were available as part of the Genesis launch lineup in the U.S. The Japanese version, titled Shin Seikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu: Hokuto no Ken. “Fist of the North Star: The New Legend of the Post-Apocalyptic Messiah”), is based on the manga and anime series Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken in Japanese). Since the international version did not retain the Hokuto no Ken license, the graphics and characters’ names were altered”.
- Dev Notes : I’ll be making at least 1 level demo for the amiga game jam. But if i can make a full game it would be cool.
