New Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Game in Works

Saiyan Island reports the next game in the Ultimate Ninja Storm series is rumored to be coming to the PS3/360.

The first one was good, the second was great, this has to be one for the ages.

the games are good no doubt but the issue I've always had with CC2's Naruto games would be that the fighting is insanely lacking and simple. Makes the game get old everytime. I know some like it and I know some agree with me because after beating adventure mode and a few battles, the game is no longer fun.

They absolutely SHINE in Adventure mode, cutscenes, and scripted fights. Of course, graphics too. But actual gameplay - completely lackluster

At least with the DBZ games, you can acquire SOME skill and yeah, it totally helps to practice more and more. Naruto? Mash that same and ONLY attack button and you might win without even knowing what you did. Hey Deidara spammers, I'm talking to you.

[Redempteur]

sorry but the main goal is a pick up and play game.. it's easy to take upon , but all the mastering is based on timing .it's simple , yes but i wonder if making thing overly complicated for an annime fighter is a good thing .. don't you want just to have fun ?

[Seijoru]

Actually the PS2 games had fairly complex fighting. I can't stand the PS3 ones, they are just mindless skill spamming.

I think it's pretty doubtful that we'll see ultimate ninja storm 3/generations this year. I really hope we see it soon or at least some information about it. The Anime is starting to catch the manga, sorta... So it'll be exciting to see how far the next game goes to. I hope it goes all the way to seeing Sasuke's eternal sharingan, Naruto's RM with abilities, as well as Edo Itachi and Nagato. I also hope they keep Tobi (but also make a new Madara skin) just cause he's so fun to play with even though he sucks.

[rabidpancakeburglar]

I hope so but what would it cover? The anime is not too far ahead of where the last one left off and I'm not sure if the Great Ninja War will be covered by the time the game comes out. If they did it to keep up with the manga then that would be great.

That doesn't really answer my question. UNS2 covered about 180 episodes of shippuden, I'm just wondering what will be covered. If there is a third one then I fully expect it to be a solid 85/100 of metacritic, and that's factoring in the haters in reviews who will say it doesn't cater to non fans.

[tayz]

its a cash money maker why not make it. and the 2nd one was so damn good they can make a 3rd one now

[tayz]

there have been a ton of new characters. i dont think they need more episodes. danzo, zetsu, the kages, and each of the kage 2 guards. thats like 10 new characters right there. plus the samurai dude, hanzo, zabuza, haku, etc

[tayz]

HOLY SHIMATA!!!!! I JUST CAME!!!!

[gravemaker]

most awesome online fighting game ever

[VampiricDragon]

next will be raging blasts 3,

count on it

[El-Fenemeno1213]

I think the dbz game was already announced, but without an official title.

[DrRichtofen]

they had a survey of what the name should be, raging blast 3 was not a choice.

[El-Fenemeno1213]

I was just playing the 2nd one yesterday. Hopefully game won't be half-assed as dbz games nowadays.

[rabidpancakeburglar]

I think the first and especially the second are proof enough that it won't be half assed.

[kanetheking]

at lest do it to the end of the ninja war i would hate if it just ending in the middle of everything.

o yer + more nolan north =}

[KonaBro]

This next one is balanced in terms of multiplayer. UNS2 was a fun game in MP but it was frustrating to go online and fight teams of Deidara, Sasuke, and Bee and have to try to fend off projectiles from everywhere. Then when they got into their ultimate jutsu form, you might as well put the controller down because there was no way to stop it. Very unbalanced.

[White-Sharingan]

Day 1 buy

Now give me One Piece, Bleach, Reborn, or Toriko game just like the Ultimate Ninja Storm games.

[rabidpancakeburglar]

I think that a One Piece game in the UNS mould would just be awesome but obviously there would be trouble with the fact that it's set at sea.

[White-Sharingan]

Well, don't forget the Strawhats have visited many lands, like skypia, Water 7, ennies lobby, thriller bark, the archipelago, underwater kingdom, plus they could add some boats as stages as well.

[HacSawJimThugin]

Can't wait...this series is one of my faves and I love how UNS stays true to the anime.

[sickshot69]

I'm not a hardcore fighting gamer so both naruto games for the ps3 are such a delight. Both are easy to pick up and play with friends.

[digitalivan]

I still played it more than Mortal Kombat.

[RurouniKaze]

yeah pretty fun and it can get pretty tactical.

[CaptainSheep]

I got a mini heart attack. As a HUGE anime fan, I absolutely LOVE Naruto.. Storm 2 was one of the reasons I bought a PS3.. that and Metal Gear Solid. :D
Storm 2 was even my first game on the PS3. THIS IS AWESOME NEWS!!
