From the below (expletive heavy kids) it seems it's just some renamed clone/port of Hokuto no Ken aka Fist of the north star.  I would laugh if they got Thor/North mixed up in extravagant Engrish tradition.  who knows:

Game is rubbish by the way, as many numerous licensed games are.

according to this site, Hokuto no Ken - Part 2 is Fist of the North Star in the US.  Hokuto no Ken must have been the first game in the series only released in japan.  here is a pic of the cart:

anyone know what the english translation of Hokuto no Ken is?

Hokuto no Ken does mean Fist of North star   hoku = star   to =  north    no = (particle) of  =  Ken = fist

My Japanese is non existent but I do know that much (roughly)
