Translation Master System

Hokuto no Ken English translation

Black Belt · 北斗の拳

phalanX's English translation of the Japanese Hokuto no Ken for the Master System, the Fist of the North Star original that the West only knew as Black Belt.

What's translated

phalanX translated the game's Japanese text into English, so the Fist of the North Star version can be played with its own characters and story rather than the reworked Western Black Belt release. Version 1.0 came out in January 2017 and is listed as fully playable. A separate title screen addendum was released later to go with it.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Mark III / Master System cartridge, following the instructions on the patch's database page. Translation by phalanX.
