• Dynamic new moves. In addition to the signature moves of the first title, new actions such as ‘sprint’ and ‘dodge’ have been added to the move sets. 
• Dream Mode introduces new, original storylines to the Fist of the North Star Universe while bridging the gaps between parts of the main story, often focusing on some of the series’ minor characters. 
• Online Co-Op and Versus play. Four to eight players can use Dream Mode to enjoy online co-op or versus play.
