Today’s final news update involves the potential release of the Sega Mega Drive version of Last Battle: Legend of the Final Hero on the Commodore Amiga as Fist of the North Star 2. The developer, using the Scorpion Engine, stated that this project is for the Amiga game jam, with Street Fighter being their next focus. A short video of an early build and a Wikipedia description of the original game are also provided.

Here is the Wikipedia information about the original game: “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. The Japanese version, titled Shin Seikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu: Hokuto no Ken, is based on the manga and anime series Fist of the North Star. Since the international version did not retain the Hokuto no Ken license, the graphics and characters’ names were altered.”
- Dev Notes : I’ll be creating at least a 1 level demo for the Amiga game jam. If possible, a full game would be even better.
