Fist of the North Star (NES video game)
Fist of the North Star is a side-scrolling action video game produced by Toei Animation and developed by Shouei System for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It was first released in Japan under the title on April 17, 1987, being the second "Hokuto no Ken" video game released for the Family Computer (Famicom) by the anime production company (which briefly entered the video game publishing business after their success with the original "Hokuto no Ken" game for the Famicom in 1986), while also serving as a tie-in to the "Hokuto no Ken 2" anime series which began airing on Fuji TV a few weeks earlier. Taxan published the localized NES version on April 1989, making it one of the earliest "Fist of the North Star" products released in the U.S. alongside Viz Communications' English adaptation of the manga.

The are three martial arts styles that branched off from "Hokuto Shinken" during the Three Kingdoms period and went on to develop their styles independently after the main "Hokuto Shinken" school was relocated to Japan. They are named after the Cao, Sun and Liu families, which they were each sworn to protect and serve. The Liu Family Fist would later branched off from the other school and become the "Hokuto Ryūken" school from "Fist of the North Star".
