First things first; yay! The Arc System Works Atomiswave-based Hokuto no Ken fighting game is getting ported to the PlayStation 2, as we've mentioned. New info is that the release is currently scheduled for March of 2007 and the port boasts four new game modes; Versus, Survival, Advanced and Challenge Mode (though I am not sure that "versus" counts as a new mode considering that was the main thrust of the arcade game).

Considering the upcoming anime movie releases, the timing of this port is somewhat fortuitous.
