Game Boy World, 020: Fist of the North Star: 10 Big Brawls for the King of the Universe (1989)

Game Boy gets its firstever fighting game, and its firstever licensed title based on a manga, anime property it s not very good. But that s just par for the course with Fist of the North Star, which lends itself nicely to video games, but not necessarily very good video games. Still, it s an interesting artifact, especially since it was one of the first games with an anime license to make its way to the U. S. with its original property intact. History is written by the winners, but sometimes it s made by losers.
