Hokuto Musō Visual Story Book (Koei, 2010) 北斗無双 ビジュアルストーリーブック
Overview
Hokuto Musō Visual Story Book (北斗無双 ビジュアルストーリーブック) is a not-for-sale book (非売品) that Koei included in the TREASURE BOX set of Hokuto Musō, the action game based on Hokuto no Ken for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The set brought together the game, a talking clock with the characters' voices (キャラクターボイスクロック), the original soundtrack and this book.
The book tells the game's story in pictures across four chapters, “The curtain rises on the legend” (伝説の幕開け), “The star of Justice falls” (義星、堕つ), “When the Nanto is thrown into turmoil” (南斗乱れしとき) and “He who seizes the heavens” (天をつかむ者). Columns are placed between them, “In a city turned to wasteland” (荒野と化した街で), “Those who live at the end of the century” (世紀末に生きる者たち), “He who rules the outlaws” (ならず者たちを統べる者) and “The oppressed and those who resist” (虐げられる者、抗う者). An overview of the transmitted secret techniques (伝承奥義総覧), a chart of the relationships between the characters (人物相関図) and the staff list close the volume. A note at the start warns that the book reveals the game's story.
