Dude, we had no idea pachinko was so cool! We knew Japan was all into it, but we always thought it was some boring gambling thing. Turns out it's all a bunch of big people with huge chest muscles beating the crap out of each other in a post-apocalyptic wasteland! Man, when that guy punched the other guy like a hundred times really fast, that was some awesome pachinko! And then the other guy like exploded into a beam of yellow light! And the cool pachinko music was playing, and it totally got us pumped about pachinko!We know the graphics aren't totally next-gen (look at the cardboard hair), but it must be super tough to render realistic pachinko visuals! We are going to buy Jissen Pachinko/Pachislot Hisshouhou! Sammy's Collection Hokuto no Ken Wii RIGHT. NOW. We're totally ready for some pachinko mayhem! Watch the totally cool pachinko video after the break, and you'll feel the same way! PACHINKOOOOOO!

I dunno... it's not STRIP video panchinko, so it can't possibly be the most exciting video panchinko I've played.
Well, okay, so a lot of those guys are half-dressed, but I'm not really into that sort of thing.

The pecks on those guys are so deformedly huge that someone ought to be arrested for that. That was totally disgusting.

I am suprised that none of you guys nor the writer of the article knows that this a licensed game based on Fist of the North Star. It is a popular anime/manga from the '80s I mean it has a huge fanbase in the U.S.
Just think of this game as if Sega or Sammy made a paper, sccisors, and rock game, but with Dragonball z characters.

Even if you are being sarcastic, Fist of the North Star is the American name of Hokuto no Ken. It is a manga/anime that is similar to Dragonball Z.

I don't care if it's a licensed game based on poodle boxing -- it's hilarious.
