Fans of 80s anime or manga will remember the classic series Fist of the North Star. In a post-apocalyptic future, a ravaged populace fights over the limited resources available. The trademark gory hyper-violence makes this series a fine choice for a video game adaptation.

The 1986 film Fist of the North Star was one of my favorite anime when I was a kid.  It was just so ridiculously violent. The storyline takes place after a nuclear holocaust in a land where savage gangs prey on the weak and martial art super men lay the smack down on a whim.
