Hokuto no Ken: Shinpan no Sousousei Kengo Retsuden is a 2D competitive fighting video game published by Arc System Works released on March 27, 2007 for the Sony PlayStation 2. 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, 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, while the PS2 port was released only in Japan. In 2020, a homebrew conversion was released for the Dreamcast.
