The Hokuto no Ken (北斗の拳) video game by Banpresto is a graphic adventure game originally released in Japan for the Sega Saturn on December 22, 1995. A PlayStation port was released on August 30, 1996. The story of this game is set after the original manga but appears to follow an alternate timeline, since characters like Toki and Ryuken (who died in the source material) are still alive. The game also pays homage to the original Hokuto no Ken, with duplicate characters and events lifted straight from the series.
