Last Battle, known as Hokuto no Ken: Shin Seikimatsu Kyuuseishu Densetsu (北斗の拳 新世紀末救世主伝説) in Japan, is an action game developed by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive. As the Japanese name suggests, it was originally intended to be paired with the Japanese manga series, Hokuto no Ken, but the graphics were altered for a western release. In fact, it is a sequel to Hokuto no Ken, which was given the same treatment and sold as Black Belt overseas. It was a launch title for the console in North America.

The game was ported to the Amiga and Commodore 64 by Elite Systems in 1991. IBM PC and Atari ST versions were apparently due to be released, but never were.[3]

The Japanese version of the game has since been re-released for the Japanese Wii Virtual Console service.
