Second exclusive Xbox 360 Naruto game in development

It looks like the PlayStation 3 is not the only one getting an exclusive Naruto game this year. Ubisoft have just announced Naruto 2: Broken Bond, the second exclusive Xbox 360 Naruto title. The second game, however, will not be an action/adventure title like the first game. Naruto 2: Broken Bond will be a fighting game, with the battle between Naruto and Sasuko as main stage. Naruto 2: Broken Bond will ship in november 2008 exclusively on Xbox 360. More details and media is expected during E3 2008.

I have already sold my 360, just few days ago, for Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm.

Mikelarry5775d ago

limit yourself when you can have both consoles. i have got both and i will try both naruto games. but i dont think i like the idea of a fighting game but ill still try it

Violater5775d ago

people are going to $hit bricks if this game has Online while the ps3 version doesn't.

What's more important online or great visuals?

Time_Is_On_My_Side5775d ago

I have three words "Metal Gear Online" great visuals and a great free online system.

What does MGO have to do with which Naruto game to choose?

sonarus5775d ago

This one is just a battle game so it will probably have online. I think the PS3 naruto was supposed to have some free roam elements. Anyway if 360 naruto doesn't look better than PS3 naruto, screw ubisoft and their talks of ps3 not being able to run naruto

rroded5775d ago

gotta agree the ps3 version will prob b nicer looking but no online sucks.

liquidsnake5775d ago

A fighting game? Seriously this is not because I own a PS3 but an "open" world action/adventure game is of more value than a fighting game. Imo that is.

What's more important online or great visuals?

gameplay's more important than both of them:P

Time_Is_On_My_Side5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

"people are going to $hit bricks if this game has Online while the ps3 version doesn't.

You tell me, or maybe I should have said Tekken?

Time_Is_On_My_Side5775d ago (Edited 5775d ago )

Sometimes visuals define game-play and I'm not just talking about the simple 2D (two dimensions) / 3D (three dimensions). A good example would be the DS and PlayStation Portable. They both have 3D visuals yet the experiences can be different. With better graphic movement can be more fluent like seen in fighting games etc.

mintaro5775d ago

What does Tekken have to do with which Naruto game to buy?

power of Green 5775d ago

You sold your 360 because you wanted a PS3 exclusive Naruto game?, Sure you did lol.

1.3, I thought Naruto games have been fighters in the past?.

1.8, Are you joking? 1) they have different artstyles 2)The 360 version is for more advanced graphically; looking better in my opinion by far but one could argue they like the natural anime style the PS3 game displays better(slightly faded and bland though).

JVIDICAN5775d ago

you do realize the goal of graphics in an anime game is to look like the anime right? 0_o

meepmoopmeep5775d ago

i agree with Mikelarry.

better to have both consoles than one if you can afford it.
game time management is the bigger issue for me.

Time_Is_On_My_Side5774d ago

lol, man people are slow, I'm simply stating that online can be on the PlayStation 3 side. The PlayStation 3 can harvest better graphics than the XBOX 360. The XBOX 360 can only do 720p while the PlayStation 3 at 1080p. So I was stating that you can have both on the PlayStation 3 console. With this new Naruto game looking like the anime online can easily be added, like how Tekken was with an add-on. If Tekken added online with an add-on this game can easily ship with online as well.

lizard812884487d ago

I heard those games are going downhill. Atleast the CoN games. I wish they brought CoN4 over, since that one is the best, but they didn't. Instead we got an American adaption

To all the readers, I thank you in advance for reading this article. I would like to present to you some of the Bits Of Information (BOI) that I was not able to include in this article. They are as follow:

BOI 1 ) Tecmo: in March of 1981, a U.S. division was inaugurated as U.S. Tehkan, Inc. A month later, in April of 1981, Tehkan released in Japan its first arcade video game titled Pleiads (which was distributed in America by Centuri). When it was still called Tehkan, the company also released such classic games as Bomb Jack and Tehkan World Cup. On the 8th of January 1986, Tehkan officially changed its name to Tecmo

BOI 2 ) Capcom: was founded in 1979 as Japan Capsule Computers, a company devoted to the manufacturing and distribution of electronic game machines.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Information provided

God Bless You All

MURKERR5455d ago (Edited 5455d ago )

why not write why they were exclusive? because of the ps3 install base back then,most of the sequels to those game are ps3 bound,3rd party support like take two,ubisoft sega,EA,konami have confirmed they made most of their money on ps3 last year 2008 so 3rd party support is cemented.

square are the only ones who really have gone to microsofts side this gen (is it coincidence their games and reputation havent been good lately?),as for DLC this week has highlighted thats not as exclusive as gamers thought,still dont care for DLC though i want exclusive games and

ps3 has the best 1st party support i have seen by any gaming company for years and 'TRICO' was the cherry on top for me

360s year was 2007 an amazing year for games but times move on

FUNNIEST THING HHG IS CLAIMING A CONSOLE CAN WIN BY 3RD PARTY SUPPORT THOUGH THAT MEANS BOTH CONSOLES WILL GET THEIR GAMES? GO FIGURE

HHG you fail again

Kamikaze1355455d ago

Square-Enix - None of their current gen games scored well.

Namco Bandai - Tales of Vesperia heading to PS3...the complete version with exclusive content - making the 360 version seem incomplete and leaving 360 owners in the dark.

Ubisoft - Same as Square Enix

Bethesda - All DLC heading to PS3 starting in June. No exclusive support here.

Epic Games - Gears was awesome....but nothing in 2009

Valve - They barely support the 360 versions of their games. These guys are a PC brand =P

Capcom - They're releasing 20-40 PSone classic. Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2 were already confirmed for the PS3.

KingKionic 5455d ago

Very nicely put. Im amazed at the writer made it so detailed. I thank you master samo. Also the article explain third party support which is very true that the xbox 360 does have alot of third party support .

qface645455d ago (Edited 5455d ago )

wut? .___. does not compute

anyways years already half way through and nothing unbelievable has really come out for the 360 in that time and i don't really think in the next 6 months they will release a bunch of stuff for it at least not huge exclusives that make everyone go ga ga

sure they will release more games and DLC this year but will it really be enough to say that 2009 will be the year of the 360?

TrevorPhillips5455d ago

keep on coming samo your doing a very good job :)

PM: Naruto: The Broken Bond Review

PM:

"Now, what does the game get worse? The animation in cut-scenes seems stiffer, though it may be my imagination. Also, the fetch quests start almost before the game's title screen, and I don't want to find another block of wood for a boat, nor do I want to run around the forest to get coins anymore. If these coins are so valuable, why are people leaving them lying around in the forest? How come no one else has picked them up? They are GIGANTIC and GLOWING. To put it another way, if I were sawing a piece of wood in a field, and there was a coin the size of my torso rotating next to me, I might drop my saw and bring it to town to see what it was worth. Why are people hiding these coins in big blue barrels? There's a lot of quality in The Broken Bond, but gamey garbage like this drags it into the gutter. The producers should learn that just jumping across rooftops is fun. I don't need a reason to do it, and even if I did, it doesn't have to be enormous floating currency."
