G4TV Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Preview

Namco Bandai gives the latest scoop on their upcoming anime fighting game for the PS3, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm.

This is the first title in the Naruto series to hit Sony's Blu Ray hardware, and the cel-shaded graphics looks absolutely amazing. Boasting over 25 characters from the popular anime series, immersive fighting mechanics and all the "Chakra" you can handle, this title will surely please not only Naruto fans, but fighting game fanatics as well.

Harry1905705d ago

juuken5705d ago

This game could be huge in Japan.
I am so getting this game. My first Naruto game too.

gano5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

Game u will like it. If you have change to
spare pick the one for the ps2 ultimate hero 2.

juuken5705d ago

I've seen that one at my gamestore. I may look into it when I egt a chance.

Final_Rpg5705d ago

It'll probably be the first Naruto game worth getting. I'm just praying that they keep the Japanese voice track in the game. They had it in there for the demo, that's a reassuring sign.

juuken5704d ago

I hope so too rpg. The Japanese voices are better.

Harry1905704d ago

It's already been confirmed that the Japanese voices will be available. It's better this way. Orochimaru in Japanese >>>> Orochimaru in English.

No One Makes Anime Games Quite As Well As CyberConnect2

There's nothing quite like flying in DBZ: Kakarot or Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm's battles.

That's also the problem. They are decent but never truly ambitious in challenging the powerhouses of any genre whether RPG or fighting.

Outlawzz1039d ago

Completely agree. Their games never quite reach that high point. They have potential but it's like they hold themselves back.

melons1039d ago

They do seem to have taken a safe route with the new Demon Slayer game though, which has no demons to slay (???) and is very similar to Ninja Storm.

spartan112g1039d ago

I mean, ArcSys makes better anime games in Guilty Gear and FighterZ, so this argument fell on its face quick.

Pepsi_Man30001039d ago

Those are both fighting games based off of an anime. Naruto storm, my hero one justice, that shitty one punch man game, etc are the games the writer is talking about Im sure

lucian2291039d ago

except naruto games are barely actual deep fighting games

BrainSyphoned1039d ago

Or 20 second fights fall on their face when portraying multi season anime.

Outlawzz1039d ago

I like the games they work on and how they recreate the feel of the anime. They are masters of that imo but the gameplay is usually basic and doesn't ever try anything new. It's mostly the same over and over.

So that basically only ever makes it a good game with lots of potential to be a great game.

Pepsi_Man30001039d ago

CC2 has a lot of potential. Theyre amazing when it comes to spectacle. Naruto storm looked great and asuras was amazing cinematic wise, but theyre gameplay needs so much improvement. Its so damn basic. Its like they hold themselves back. I remember the reveal trailer for asuras wrath having body slams, and suplexes, dragging enemies across the ground etc. And for some weird reason all of that was removed for gameplay that was hardly anything more than mashing the circle button.

And its even more frustrating cuz theyve done how many storm games now. Youd think they wouldve managed ti improve but tis like theyre not even trying. Idk man. I just feel like a dev like them shouldve been way bigger by now
