koei recently sent over a handful of screenshots from its recently announced video game adaptation of the fist of the north star anime series, hokuto musou, which is due out in japan in 2010. thankfully for those of us who aren't manga aficionados, these screens were accompanied by a brief primer on the series' plot. we won't bore you with the entire premise, but instead offer you this highlight from koei's description:

''''''channeling their energy into a single deadly blow, players can strike their victims and cause them to violently explode on screen. gamers can also let loose with kenshiro's signature move- a ruthless flurry of ferocious punches, triggering the instantaneous breakdown of internal organs, and death.''''''

yes, please.
