Naruto Shippuden: Super Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations

[Tobi]

Namco Bandai’s next Naruto fighting game puts young Naruto and Shippuden Naruto in the same game. Players will be able to battle Zabuza and Haku in the very beginning of the Naruto saga and rumble with the Raikage with Shippuden Naruto.

Confirmed characters, according to this scan from Jump, include Naruto (Shippuden and Young), Haku, Zabuza, Raikage, C, and Darui. A release date for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generation has not been announced.

Can’t say we’re too surprised to see Namco Bandai bring a Naruto game to Europe. News about Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generation just slipped out of Japan. This fighting game brings together two Narutos (young and Shippuden) and characters from both manga series.

In Europe, it appears, the game will be called Naruto Shippuden: Super Ultimate Ninja Storm – Generations. Retailer Play.com lists the title for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 even though Namco Bandai has not confirmed a Western release. Namco Bandai didn’t set a date for Japan either so take that "February 3rd" date with a grain of salt.

First revealed through Weekly Shounen Jump over the weekend, this latest Naruto adaptation is due for simultaneous release on on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Namco Bandai did not share a specific release time frame. Outside of Japan, the game has apparently been named "Naruto Shippuden: Super Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations."

Producer Yusuke Sasaki delivers a brief message at the official site. Although CyberConnect2 is developer once again, Sasaki says to expect a greater focus on combat compared to bast Narutimate Storm series titles. The term "Generation" means "the ultimate ninja battle that crosses generations," perhaps as indicated by the two Narutos shown in the artwork.

The official site teases an upcoming teaser movie, so those without access to Jump should get a first look shortly.

Getting. :O

[Caiyuo]

NSSUNSG is kind of a mouthful, good lord, but happy to see the series continuing, it's been a ton of fun. Happy to see "a greater focus on combat" too, it's neat as hell but feels like it needs more depth.

[Souj]

Hopefully:
More epic cinematic boss fights with less stupid minigames between them. Orochimaru v 4tails shooter game was annoying.
Less stupid walking back and forth and endless backtracking in adventure mode.

and yeah, hopefully this will get a better title.

Although CyberConnect2 is developer once again

That's all I needed to know, now release the damn thing already and take my money

I do hope they follow through with the focus on deeper combat mechanics though. Now that they pretty much have the visuals down, I'd love it if the mechanics were good enough to make it a competitive game

Seconding this.

[Tsutsumiko]

Seconding this.

Third.

You know a fighter is terrible when the first person to attack is pretty much the loser cause everything is unsafe. It's an utter snooze fest cause camping is king.

[Kaelan?]

I don't really mind the "Everything is unsafe" aspect of it so much, I think it makes things more interesting and gives the metagame a different feel than other fighters (i.e. defensive wait/parry/counter characters like Hinata who work really well in UNS2 aren't really possible other games like, say MvC3).

I just wish it wasn't so easy to do and actually required timing, like 3rd Strike parries, and had some kind of "mash prevention" that caused it to auto-fail if you're mashing/setting controller on turbo to try to random it out.

[Akiyama]

Super Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations.. god damn that's a mouthful.

Looks fun, though.

Super Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations.. god damn that's a mouthful.

Was thinking the same thing. How many words need to be put on a title?

[Insanecyclone]

I don't want to make a thread for this(yet). So I'll put this here instead.

PSP game similar to this coming out too

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact

CyberConnect2′s PSP game Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact starts at the beginning of the Naruto Shippuden and goes all the way up to the Shinobi World War arc.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact follows Naruto and Sasuke in two separate story modes. Namco Bandai will release this PSP game in Japan, North America, and Europe this fall.

[Kobb]

PSP game sounds better than the Super Ultimate Double Chocolate Mega PS3 one.

[Souj]

Yeah.
Wonder if the PS3 game is going to have all the other Kages and Danzo in it too, or if they just stop at Raikage.
Sounds kind of stupid to release a new Ninja storm if it's just Raikage cause that would mean the story mode doesn't go up to the Kage meeting, which means there would be 0 new story. Which I guess they're making up for by starting story mode off at the very beginning

[Odin'sLaw]

Thanks for adding this Tobi (Madara) little ironic but i'm sure its just me, loved the ninja storm 2 and i also agree the name is to long could do with calling it

Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Storm Generations! Believe it.....i'll leave now

[Tobi]

Ironically, that's actually where my name is from

Haven't been following psp game at all but it does look pretty good.

[Tobi]

Though obvious, NA/EU release confirmed now.

[Kaelan?]

Hmm, PS3 teaser looked just like UNS2, but with some new characters. Hopefully just an early build, with many gameplay changes to come. The only different thing I could notice at all was it looked like the Raikage was doing a command throw at one point (which is awesome).

[BadKarma]

Liger Bomb?

[Ayn]

Gotta admit the PSP trailer looks more interesting.

Agree that the first one just looks like UNS2 (which was already a nice looking game). Aside from Raikage, the only other thing that the trailer showed me was that ZABUZA SWORD CANNOT BE BEAT.
