Looks great. Though I don't really think Kuroda's voice fits Kenshiro.

Yeah, I was expecting and would prefer Katsuyuki Konishi, the go-to voice for Ken nowadays, but since it's a Yakuza spin-off, I'm not surprised Kiryu's VA's taken the role this time. He still sounds good though, just his screams are a bit weak.

How is this a crossover? It's game using the Yakuza engine and the voice actor of Yakuza's main characters. Or have I missed something?

Well, it used "ga Gotoku" in the name (like Hokuto Musou), use some traditional Yakuza-style mini-games (Kenshiro mixing cocktails? Give me two!), developed post-apocalyptic city (HnK was more devastated in the landscapes) - and it seems like plot, which is original, is less serious in some parts that in the manga, like that comedy gold scene with flying to the sky Jagi. So it's not really the game based on Hokuto no Ken, but more like Yakuza approach to Hokuto no Ken... and I totally diggin' it.

No, you're not wrong. The reveal video for the game featured Kazuma Kiryu in Tokyo at first, then he turned into Kenshiro, which is what originally made us think it was a crossover game when writing this article. I do think that was a misunderstanding on our part though (that part was probably a gimmick they used for the interesting reveal), so I've changed the headline and description in the article to reflect that the game is more a Yakuza-style Fist of the North Star game, not a crossover game. We appreciate the feedback, thanks!
