The Hokuto-no-Ken (Fist of the North Star) fighting game site is online, and can be seen at hokuto-no-ken.sega.jp. At the moment the News, Move List, Characters, Stages, and Game System sections are open.
Personally, i think the game looks fantastic - i enjoyed the Fist of the North Star animé (and sat through the live-action with Gary Daniels), so i'm vaguely aware of the plot and cast - but if i hadn't, this would still be an excellent fighter. The backgrounds, for example, are really picturesque - it's obvious that the staff working on the gorgeous scenery in Guilty Gear XX are back with a vengeance for Hokuto-no-Ken. Also, expect the sprites and animation to be of a similar quality to GGXX too - there are fewer characters than in the Guilty Gear games, so there can be more frames allocated to each.
