Fist of the North Star 3: New Century Creation Geki Fierce Fist Legend is an RPG developed by Shouei System and published by Toei Animation, released for the Japanese Family Computer (Nintendo NES) on October 19, 1989. Unlike the first two side-scrolling action games, this entry is an RPG that faithfully adapts the original manga’s story from its opening to the Land of Shura arc. Players take on the role of protagonist Kenshiro on a journey to save humanity and defeat evil forces. Players can explore wastelands, visit towns and dangerous dungeons, and engage in turn-based battles with various enemies. Battle scenes are rendered in an anime style, and Kenshiro faces bosses in one-on-one duels. The game also features multiple playable characters, such as Bat and Lin, who join or leave the party as the story progresses. In towns, players can buy equipment and items, gather information about other locations, and use fast travel to advance the plot. Random encounters are relatively rare, and some manga enemy characters only appear in random battles or hidden areas.
