Last Battle: Legend of the Final Hero is a side-scrolling martial arts beat 'em up released for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1989 by Sega. It was one of the six games that were available as part of the Genesis launch lineup in the U.S. The Japanese version, titled Hokuto no Ken: Shinseikimatsu Kyūseishu Densetsu , is based on the manga and anime series Fist of the North Star. Since the international version did not retain the Hokuto no Ken license, the graphics and characters' names were altered.
